TRAFx VEHICLE COUNTER — KEY FEATURES

• Advanced Microelectronic Design
• Install at Roadside, Above or Below Ground
• Self-Contained Design, no External Wires or Tubes
• Ideal for Rural, Rugged and Remote Roads
• Use as Permanent or Portable Counter
• Very Small and Easy to Hide — Reduces Vandalism Risk
• Low Operating, Maintenance, and Installation Costs
• Long Battery Life (approx. 1 year)
• Large Memory Capacity (store > 400 million counts)

This innovative, reliable vehicle counter uses a precision Micro-Magnetic™ sensor to detect passing vehicles. Passenger cars can be counted from up to 6 metres (20 feet) away, allowing coverage of two lanes from a roadside installation. Roadside installations are safer and easier to access than mid-lane ones. If the unit is buried at the roadside, no road cuts or special tools are required. The vehicle counter’s detection range is user-programmable, and can be adjusted for double or single lane counting. (read more...)

The TRAFx Infrared Trail Counter is designed to count general traffic on trails and paths ― hikers, joggers, horseback riders, snowmobiles, cyclists, etc. Unlike most infrared trail counters, it does not require a receiving unit or reflector to operate. This results in a very compact, easy-to-hide design, that reduces risk of vandalism. Using a small precision infrared scope mounted on a tree and pointed towards the trail, the TRAFx Infrared Trail Counter detects and counts warm, moving objects.

Camouflage "skins" superbly hide the unit and blend it in with the forest environment. In busy, open areas (e.g., urban areas), a low-cost locking steel box can be used. The TRAFx Infrared Trail Counter also works well in winter conditions on hiking, ski, snowshoe, or snowmobile trails. It is quick and easy to install, and uses three small "AA size" alkaline batteries. (read more...)
