Radar – Measuring vehicle Speed

Speed studies had been performed through manual methods to measure time vs. measured distance. Later traffic data collectors were utilized to measure speed through computing the time required to cross pneumatic tubes for specified distance. Recently, advanced speed detection instruments have been developed and used to measure speed of vehicles. These instruments have used either microwave radar or laser light beams. The attached part of the operations manual highlights the operation of the use of Laser Speed Detection Instrument which has been recently purchased for our lab.
