VEHICLE CLASSIFYING COUNTER

TESTS WERE PERFORMED ON I-80 NEAR SACRAMENTO UNDER HEAVY TRAFFIC CONDITIONS FOR TIME DURATIONS FROM ONE HALF HOUR TO EIGHT DAYS. THESE OPERATIONAL TESTS AND EXTENSIVE LABORATORY TESTING PROVED THE CAPABILITY OF THE CLASSIFYING COUNTER TO PERFORM ACCORDING TO THE DESIGN GOALS. /AUTHOR/
