ARCHITECTURE

All of SpeedInfo's products and services are built around the same system architecture:

Solar: Our sensors are solar powered, with an integral battery backup and a Wireless data connection. They can go virtually anywhere.

Very Low Power: Our sensors are designed from the ground up to use very little power. This lets us minimize the size of the solar panel and battery, and lets us install on existing infrastructure without the need for additional poles.

Cloud-based servers: Our servers are based in the cloud, offering higher reliability and uptime to our customers.

Active Network Management: In the Internet-of-Things space, remote sensors are notoriously difficult to manage. If a sensor goes down, there is little that can be done to fix it without going out to replace it. Our sensors have multiple layers of embedded code that detect network outages and repair them automatically, reducing maintenance and improving uptime.

Two data feeds: Customers can access their data two ways. We offer an online dashboard to let them drill into current conditions for the sensor of their choice. And we stream data directly to their database via a secure XML feed.

DVSS-101 SPEED SENSOR

The DVSS-101 Traffic Speed Sensor is a low-cost Doppler radar sensor that measures traffic speed in both directions. It cannot be used to give speeding tickets ‐ we can tell if someone is going 100 mph, but we can't tell who it might be.

The sensor sends a radar pulse out every 15 seconds, and breaks down the return signal into approaching and receding directions, and then separates each direction into 0.1mph speed bins from 0 to 100mph (1000 bins in total). It averages the speeds it detects, and transmits the speed in each direction once a minute. When precipitation is falling, the sensor filters out the precipitation and only reports vehicle speeds.

COUNT+ SENSOR

The Count+ Traffic Count Sensor is a passive infrared device that can be configured to monitor traffic in up to 4 lanes, in one or two directions. It provides a lot of different types of data: vehicle speed, classification, and counts by lane, and lane occupancy rates.

In addition, the sensor's passive infrared detector measures road surface temperatures. This can be a big benefit in areas where snow removal is a big issue. Knowing where the snow is melting and where it is not can help the DOT deploy its resources more efficiently and save money.

The Count+ Sensor can be configured with an optional camera if so desired. Traffic cameras are very expensive, requiring high speed data connectivity and lots of power. Our camera is designed to provide pictures on demand or when conditions warrant. Because it is not running continuously, it is not a serious power user and can transmit pictures over a conventional cellular link. Traditional traffic video cameras can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to bring the requisite infrastructure to the site. No more.
