A short survey of applications and technology of Falcon radar detectors.
Net 2 / Net 3
Microprocessor controlled radar detector with network communication for use in traffic management systems. Its RS 485 multi-point communication supplies nearly real-time data for a traffic controller. Every Falcon Net is assigned with an unique network address on the network bus with up to 15 detectors. Falcon Net 2 (11° x 11° antenna) for mounting in an overhead position with a lane selective round radar spot. Falcon Net 3 (11° x 18° antenna) with higher distance range for mounting in overhead or sidefire position with an elliptic radar spon on the lane. With a typical mounting angle of 45° the detector delivers speed, length value for vehicle classification and inter-vehicle net time gap when a vehicle passes the beam. Detects approaching and / or leaving vehicles (detection direction adjustable). The detection distance range is adjustable. A RS 485 / RS 232 network adapter for a simple PC connection is optional available.
Applications:
- Radar detector network connected to traffic management systems
- Radar detector network connected to traffic counter systems (single vehicle data, vehicle counting and classification, speed, net time gap, …)
- Traffic jam warning, wrong direction driver warning
- Tunnel surveillance
- Traffic density and travel time calculation
