RSSUK consultant 6019 Roughton International, working on behalf of the Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA), has teamed up with 6020 Sky High and 561 Traffic Technology to deploy traffic flow data collection equipment suitable for the Ugandan road network. In-road sensors were not suitable due to the probability of regular damage. Sky High therefore recommended Traffic Technology’s SDR radar traffic classifier to provide vehicle count, classification and speed data because it provides accurate data even on the uneven or broken road surfaces encountered in Uganda.

The SDR uses latest radar technology to accurately detect each vehicle passing the invisible sensor zone and provides accurate count, classification and speed data for each direction of a bi-directional single carriageway. In addition, Traffic Technology supplied the latest Newcomm software, enabling data to be downloaded via the Datacollector using Bluetooth or GPRS.
