Most every day, without even knowing, your vehicle is counted by some type of traffic counter. Parking garages, car washes, fast food drive-thrus, shopping plazas and roadways are just a few places continuously gathering and analyzing traffic count data.
The Shops at Wiregrass in Wesley Chapel, FL is using one of our most popular traffic counters, the TC-RS50 Radar-based Vehicle Counter. This sensor is easier and less costly to install than burial loop sensors and features an adjustable detection area from 6.5 to 40 feet.
Joseph Durnford, Director of Operations at The Shops at Wiregrass claims,
“The radar sensor is great. It needs power and once that is implemented, you don’t need any additional hardware. We’d like to install more of these sensors at each of our other five entrances.”
This Florida shopping center hosts events and activities on a daily basis including live music, concerts, art shows and holiday events. The data collected from the traffic counter is used to analyze marketing effectiveness of these events and are sent to corporate headquarters for additional analysis. Shopping malls and plazas also use data to determine and prepare for peak traffic times, justify parking expansion and analyze traffic flow.
The Radar-Based Vehicle Counter is also used for security purposes like at the Indian Point Energy Center in Buchanan, New York. The sensor is configured with an alarm to alert for inspection every 50th vehicle entering the lot. The TC-RS50 is also used for weigh stations, loading docks and gate and ramp access control.
