TRAFFIC DETECTOR HANDBOOK. SECOND EDITION
This handbook is a revised, updated version of the Federal Highway Administration's "Traffic Detector Handbook", originally published as Implementation Package FHWA-IP-85-1. This upgraded version of the Handbook supersedes and replaces the previous edition. It has been restructured, corrected, and revised to update discussions of concepts and equipment to reflect the current state of the art, particularly as it relates to the microprocessor revolution, advances in control technology, and real-world application experience. The overall objective of this Handbook is to provide a single resource and basic reference to aid the practicing engineer and technician in planning, designing, installing, and maintaining detectors. It provides a compendium of existing detector technology to facilitate the understanding of all aspects of detector systems. Best current practices are described with emphasis on proper design, applications, and installation processes and techniques.
