Smart traffic depends on accurate, reliable data. SmartSensor HD is the only vehicle detector that provides all the data you need, including per vehicle speeds, vehicle counts, average speed, 85th percentile speed, occupancy and more.
SmartSensors see better than cameras in most difficult weather conditions and they keep working even when road conditions render loops useless. Radar’s electromagnetic wavelength is much larger than the wavelength of light, so radar can propagate through most snow conditions, rain, fog and even dust storms without becoming distorted. Once properly installed and configured, the sensors do not require cleaning, tuning, realignment or recalibration. In fact, SmartSensors continue to work even in temperature changes, humidity, and in other conditions that may compromise pavement integrity or affect available light.

The difference between SmartSensor HD’s true high definition radar and other radars is equivalent to the difference between today’s HD TVs and 1960’s era tube sets. SmartSensor HD operates at 245 MHz with five times the bandwidth of other sensors to produce clearer radar images for pinpoint accuracy. Sensors operating at lower bandwidths may not have the range resolution to accurately detect individual vehicles. HD’s greater resolution means each vehicle is detected clearly and cleanly.
It takes two to tango, or in this case, to detect accurate per vehicle speeds. Each SmartSensor HD has two high-definition radar beams. This revolutionary design brings with it a host of benefits: by timing how long it takes for a vehicle to go from one beam to the next, HD is able to replicate a speed trap for every lane on both sides of the highway, replacing at least two loops per lane; HD is also able to determine direction of travel, vital for applications such as reversible lanes and wrong-way detection.
One device is all you need. SmartSensor HD can see every lane on both sides of the highway; competitive devices often need two or more units to match a single HD. Our 65-degree beamwidth covers a 250-foot range at the minimum offset of six feet. Other radar sensors offer only 50-degree beamwidths, which are not sufficient for complete coverage at lower offsets. SmartSensor HD can detect traffic across 22 lanes, effectively replacing at least two loops per lane. As a result, HD can form the basis for any number of ITS applications, from basic counts to complex, proactive systems.
Every traffic application requires good, solid data to operate. We created our SmartSensors to perform accurately and dependably and the end result is data you can depend on. While our sensors were built with specific applications in mind, traffic engineers from around the world create their own applications using our sensors and, frankly, we’re constantly blown away by their ingenuity and creativity. It’s amazing to see amazing innovations in every aspect of intelligent traffic using our sensors as the bedrock. To that end, we ensure our sensors are the easiest to work with and offer our expertise to anyone who can use it. The world is wide open. So, the question is: What will you create with our sensors?

All SmartSensors install above the road eliminating the need for costly, intrusive installation. This cuts down on labor time, lane closures, trenching and specialized equipment. Most sensors can be installed with a couple of workers and a bucket truck in less than an hour if cable is already pulled. It's simple, it's safe and it's cost efficient.

Let SmartSensor HD do all the hard work! Our patented auto-configuration tool will have you detecting traffic in a matter of minutes. With SmartSensor Manager HD software, you connect with the sensor and it automatically detects vehicle direction, vehicle distance and creates and assigns lanes. If lanes change, you can even reconfigure remotely. No mess, no lane closures, no workers in the road. This is all done automatically, but for more control you can manually adjust lane information within a simple user interface.
Nothing provides better detection for freeway and arterial applications than SmartSensor HD. Intelligent transportation systems fall apart when detection doesn’t work. That’s why we place such a high value on making sure SmartSensor HD works every time, all the time. Dozens of published, third-party studies prove time and again that HD provides pinpoint accurate data and works for years without the need for routine maintenance. Beyond the studies HD is proven in thousands of real-world installations where traffic professionals trust in its accuracy and reliability to keep their ITS applications, and traffic, moving.

Every moment a worker is on the road is dangerous. Intrusive detection methods require lane closures during installation and maintenance. Some non-intrusive detection methods require routine maintenance which, again, can require lane closures and workers spending time in danger. Wavetronix’ SmartSensors install on the side of the road and require no routine maintenance. This helps keep workers safe and out of the road. This technology can often be installed with just two workers and a bucket truck in around an hour. Configuring our sensors is intuitive and can be done off-site. This all adds up to your workers spending less time on the dangerous road.
