The SVR-500 intelligent radar sensor scans the full 360 degrees every second to rapidly detect stopped vehicles and debris. It measures a vehicle's range and instantaneous speed on each scan, avoiding the need for error-prone tracking routines. The detection zones are configured easily to cater for the different carriageways, slip roads, emergency areas and hard shoulders, as well as defining areas of no interest. In addition to reporting location data for the stopped vehicle, the SVR-500 can take automatic control of a CCTV camera, pointing it at the incident. This reduces operator workload for the fastest response.
The radar operates autonomously using inbuilt detection and processing without reference to any other radars or equipment. This minimises the communications requirements to a regional control and operations centre and avoids single point failures in the equipment.
As Ogier Electronics points out, microwave sensors work 24 hours a day in all weathers, seeing through rain, fog, mist, and snow, in blindingly bright light or total darkness.
