This much higher frequency presented a number of challenges that had to be overcome while maintaining the low-power, license free, low battery consumption with maximum range requirements that were necessary to meet the specifications. Electrically Safe Standards, and have gained the CE marking for quality manufacturing that is required for any product exported to the European market. Passing the stringent European standards for certification on the very first submission is testimony to a product that is well designed, extensively tested, and has been closely scrutinized for quality control, manufacturing excellence and technical support. In a joint effort between Nu-Metrics and Traffic Safety Engineering, the installation was scheduled and all 20 sites were fully operational in November. The contract issued by the Highway Planning Unit of Kementerian Kerjaraya Malaysia is the first such contract for permanent wireless traffic monitors for Malaysia.
Future planning anticipates additional expansion.
G-2's were installed in the center of the roadway traffic lanes. Once commissioned, the data from all sites will be routed to an Internet website for access by highway travelers or other interested parties. Although the central server computer is only polling the sites at selected periodic intervals, current data can be obtained from any of the sites if necessary because of special traffic conditions, construction, accidents, weather conditions or other situations. System applications include highway PCS, border crossings, toll plazas, shopping malls, military bases, airports, parking garages, evacuation routes and law enforcement uses. Due to the ease of installation and versatility, the PCS sites can be moved whenever the construction is moved or completed.
