Development of a Traffic Counter Bench Tester with 8-Lane Testing Capability, Executive Summary Report
The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) utilizes Automated Traffic Recorder (ATR) devices to collect highway traffic vehicle count and class data. The data is used to support funding proposals and highway maintenance decisions. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) requires each state to test their highway traffic data collection equipment (Ref: 23 CFR Parts 500.203 & 500.204). Further, the regulation states that only equipment passing the test procedures may be used for the collection of data for projects funded by FHWA. The objective of this research project is to design a bench top tester for testing ATRs that are equipped to count/classify 8 lanes of traffic with a loop-piezo-loop sensor arrangement. The new tester will be designated as model ATRT-1716 and will be similar in operation to the ATRT-1700 model which ODOT has used successfully for many years.
