The RTMS (Remote Traffic Microwave Sensor) radar is a low-cost, general-purpose, all-weather traffic sensor which detects presence and measures traffic parameters in multiple independent lanes.

The RTMS is a true presence traffic detector providing presence, volume, occupancy, speed and classification information in up to 8 discrete user-defined detection zones up to 60 m (200 ft.) away. Output information is provided to existing controllers via contact pairs and to computer systems via a RS-232 serial communications port.

The RTMS is uniquely designed for side-fired operation. In Side-fired configuration, it is usually mounted on existing side-of-the-road poles, is easy to install and remove, and is fully programmable to support a variety of applications. In its Forward-looking configuration it is mounted on overhead sign structures to monitor a specific lane.

The RTMS requires no maintenance and was proven to be the only multi-zone traffic detector unaffected by any type of weather. The RTMS design has been proven to maintain accurate detection on any road surface type - even gravel roads, in tunnels and on steel bridges, in heavy snow, driving rain, strong winds and scorching desert sunlight. Its installation does not require road closures and its world-wide proven MTBF of 15 years cast it by far as the detector with lowest cost of ownership.

In many tests performed by traffic professionals worldwide, this presence radar technology has been recognised as the best for almost all traffic management applications.
