Introduction

The Wavetronix SmartSensor HD traffic sensor utilizes the latest technology to collect and
deliver traffic statistics. Capable of measuring traffic volume, average speed, individual vehicle
speed, lane occupancy and presence, the SmartSensor HD collects information through the use of
a 24.125 GHz (K band) operating radio frequency. Classified as Frequency Modulated
Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar, the SmartSensor HD detects and reports traffic conditions
simultaneously over as many as ten lanes of traffic. Once SmartSensor HD is installed, the
configuration process is quick and easy. After installation, this unit will require little or no on­site maintenance, and can be remotely reconfigured for optimal performance. The following
pages detail the easy step-by-step process of getting started with the SmartSensor HD.
