Traffic Data Systems sets the standard

With various new loop-based traffic monitoring and classification systems, Traffic Data Systems (TDS) from Germany is once again setting new standards in this business field. All systems have been certified by the German Federal Highway Research Institute (BASt) with the highest achievable accuracy level (A1) and for up to 1,050m loop feed cable (twisted pair AWG20/0,5mm²).

The well-known TMCS-IP 16 channel system (eight lanes with double loops) is already in use in several countries and can be used as a loop-based traffic monitoring and classification system as well as a Weigh in Motion system using Kistler Lineas sensors (according to either OIML R134 or COST 323).  

It is supplemented by the TDS 824 systems (eight channels per module) in combination with the TDS 821 systems, which are available both as top-hat rail modules and as 19-inch/4HP plug-in modules. Four TDS 824 can be combined, so that 32 channels (16 lanes with double loops) can be monitored in parallel and supervised by one TDS 821 that manages data processing and communication. All systems are designed in IP67 for harsh environments and have corresponding connectors (e.g. M12, DSUB etc.)

The issue of sustainability is also becoming increasingly important in the ITS market. TDS has always played a pioneering role here. Thanks to the modular design of the TDS 82x/VDK 900 systems developed in the early 1990s – of which several thousand are still in use all over Europe – customers were able to upgrade these systems with integral 4G/5G modem and current BASt certifications with the highest accuracy class (A1/300m).
