2.3 Advantages of the Technology<br />
The access point is then connected to both a QTC controller allowing communication with<br />
SCATS as well as the Ethernet fibre backbone allowing data to be sent to an ATMS system.<br />
The SCATS system collects count and occupancy data while the ATMS system can collect<br />
count, occupancy, speed and classification data from the studs.<br />
As the sensor can be installed quickly in a 100mm diameter drill hole, road user disruption<br />
and the traffic management costs are significantly less than a standard induction loop as the<br />
installation operation can be undertaken using a semi-static closure.<br />
These can be placed at a depth of 120mm giving 70mm of clearance from the top of each<br />
sensor to the surface which should allow for resurfacing of up to 50mm without damage to<br />
the sensor.<br />
Unlike side mounted radar technology the sensor is mounted in-road and is therefore not<br />
susceptible to shadowing due to high sided vehicles. Also the technology is not affected by<br />
environmental conditions such as snow, fog or rain which affect most video detection<br />
systems.<br />
As the sensors are wireless the amount of ducting required along the motorway is greatly<br />
reduced.<br />
