Proprietary - This document may be subject to change without notice. The
information shall remain the exclusive property of s.m.s, smart microwave sensors GmbH.
1.3 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Each radar sensor directly measures the following parameters of all moving objects simultaneously in the
field of view, relative to the sensor:
Direct unambiguous Doppler measurement (speed)
Direct range measurement
Direct azimuth angle measurement (horizontal angle)
Direct elevation angle measurement (vertical angle)
Those data are stabilized by tracking algorithms. Stopped objects are kept in the tracking memory. The true
vector of the relative speed is calculated and a data transformation into Cartesian coordinates is performed.
Those tracked and transformed data are then transmitted via the chosen communication interface.
The interface to the superior system (detector card, PC, or similar) is a list of tracked objects transmitted via
RS485, Ethernet, or another interface.
Each sensor comprises RS485 as standard interface for communication and an Ethernet or CAN interface,
of which CAN is deactivated by default.
FLEXIBILITY OF THE RADAR WAVEFORM
The radar sensor supports a variety of stand-alone or combined radar waveforms. The operational mode
can be determined via the firmware.

2.6 CABINET INTERFACES
2.6.1 TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT INTERFACE BOARD
Our Traffic Management Interface Board (TMIB) connects up to four sensors at an intersection and enables
their connection to any type of traffic controller. The data lines from multiple connected radars are made
available on one single Ethernet interface. For the US market, there are NEMA TS1/TS2 compliance and
SDLC interfaces available. For further information, please refer to the datasheet on our website.
2.6.2 CABINET INTERFACE OPTION
The smartmicro Cabinet Interface Option (CIO) is an interface panel that provides power surge protection
for up to four radar sensors and a Traffic Management Interface Board (TMIB). The typical installation of a
CIO includes a TMIB that provides RS485 connectivity to the radar sensors.
The interface panel has individual power on/off switches and LED indicators for each radar sensor to simplify
the installation. The CIO provides both electrical connectors for the cables coming in from the four sensors
outside the cabinet and multiple stages of electrical surge suppression to protect the cabinet equipment
from external surges and noise. This surge protection includes Gas Discharge Tubes (GDTs), Transient
Voltage Suppression diodes (TVSs), high-speed resettable electronic fuses (TBUs) and a replaceable fuse.
Power is 110V or 220V AC to the replaceable power supply on the interface panel, typically wired from the
protected side of the cabinet power distribution. No supplemental surge suppression is required.
The CIO consists of a Rail, one CIO Module, power supply, circuit breaker, terminal blocks and end brackets.
It comes with power signals pre-wired from the factory and has the following features:
Inbuilt surge and power protection
Four LEDs indicate the power status of each sensor/channel
One LED indicates the status of the main power supply
Two LEDs per sensor to indicate RS485 communication link and activity
For further information, please refer to the datasheet on our website.
2.7 COMMUNICATION INTERFACES
2.7.1 RELAY OUTPUT OPTION
The smartmicro Sensor Relay Option (SRO) can be attached to the back of the sensor and offers 8 hardware
relays and surge protection in addition to the sensor's CAN or RS485 or Ethernet communication interface.

Page 18 of 101 | 5. November 2021
Proprietary - This document may be subject to change without notice. The
information shall remain the exclusive property of s.m.s, smart microwave sensors GmbH.
It can be used to implement traffic applications without an additional controller unit being necessary and
has the following features:
Connector to a sensor cable
Connector to power supply
Connector for RS485 communication to a PC
Eight configurable solid-state relays per sensor (normally-closed (NC) contacts)
Surge protection on power, communication, and relay lines
The CRO Base consists of a rail, one CRO Module, power supply, circuit breaker, terminal blocks and end
brackets. It comes with power signals pre-wired from the factory.
For the use of two, three or four sensors, the CRO Base can be extended with the respective number of CRO
Modules. Please note that only the first CRO Module is pre-wired.
For further details, please refer to the datasheet on our website.
2.8 CIO AND JUNCTION BOX SURGE SUPRESSION
The surge protection of CIO and JBOX works as follows. Gas Discharge Tubes (GDTs) on all incoming power
and data lines are used to protect against strong voltage spikes. At a second stage, Transient Voltage
Suppression diodes (TVSs) eliminate any remaining unwanted voltage spikes. For all data lines, high-speed
resettable electronic fuses (TBUs) offer an additional level of protection, which is not needed nor possible
for power lines.
In case of a near-by lightning strike, all GDTs will ignite and divert the power surge away from the equipment.
For this, they create an intentional short-circuit from the incoming wires to ground. Once the voltage on each
wire has dropped below a threshold voltage of below 10 V (may vary slightly in different revisions), the
protection mode is ended, and normal operation is resumed. For all data lines, this is instantly the case after
the power surge has ended. On the positive supply line however, the voltage provided by the power supply
may keep the protection mode running. As connected radars will not receive enough voltage while the GDT
is still in protection mode, the power supply may need to be switched off and then on again to retain normal
radar operation.

4 SELECTING THE SENSOR MODEL AND LOCATION
Please note that frequency regulations may vary from country to country and that the usage of the lower
power mode of the sensor may be necessary.
4.1 SELECTING THE RIGHT SENSOR MODEL
This sensor model is the right choice if one or more of the following situations apply:
More range than achievable with UMRR-11 Type 44 or 45 is desired
More than six lanes need to be covered
Traffic density is very high
Best possible detection and classification accuracy is required under challenging conditions

COMPARISON OF LOW AND HIGH POWER MODE
The edge of the colored beam pattern indicates the limit of the signal processing. The radar may detect
beyond that distance, but objects would neither be calculated, nor displayed.
Figure 4-2: Low (left) and high (right) power mode
The high power mode allows for a higher detection range but please note that within the light blue region no
detection is possible.

4.2 SELECTING THE RIGHT MOUNTING POSITION
To achieve the best radar performance, the adequate location needs to be chosen carefully. The responsible
person for installing the sensor needs to go through the following steps:
- Verify that there are >20m or >65ft between the maximum range and the area of interest.
- Verify that the lanes are fully covered, including some allowance at the beam limits. The illustration below shows that the example (B) is selected too tight.
Verify that the horizontal angle to the road is within -25° and +25°.4
Verify that the vertical angle to the ground is within -8° and +3°. Typically, -12° to +5° are plausible.
Mount the radar at suitable height, typically at 6m or 19.6ft.5
Figure 4-3: Select Area of Interest
Also, the sensor should be mounted on a stiff and solid mounting base. The smaller the angle towards the
stop bar, the better. A smaller angle improves the utilization of the sensor beam and occlusion of vehicles
in adjacent lanes becomes less likely. This means, that mounting the sensor on a mast arm is usually better
than mounting it close to the ground. However, the mast arm must not move due to wind or other
environmental influences. If it does, a position of the mast arm needs to be chosen, where the movement is
kept to a minimum.
Please note that vibration, oscillation, or any other kind of movement will reduce the sensor performance.
4 A steeper elevation angle is possible but limiting the maximum range. A negative elevation angle means that the sensor is pointing towards the road. 5 The mounting height may affect the maximum detection range. Occlusion needs to be considered.

On existing infrastructure, the sensor can be mounted in the following positions:
Figure 4-4: Mounting positions on existing infrastructure
A) On the mast arm close to the vertical pole (ideal position)
B) Adjacent to a luminaire
C) On a vertical pole
We recommend position (A) for best performance, since a stiff and motion-free mounting base is required
and a small angle towards the detection zone is recommended. If the structural conditions of the luminaire
or the mast arm allow for a stiff attachment of the sensor, position (B) or (C) are potential alternatives.
Please refer to the respective sensor datasheet for a recommendation of the distance to the stop bar or the
area of interest, as well as the azimuth and elevation angle that should be used to achieve the best
performance.

4.3 COVERING THE AREA OF INTEREST
The radar beam covers an oval shaped area on the ground. The responsible person for the installation has
to verify that the measurement point is located inside the area covered by the beam.
The following aspects need to be verified:
- (A) On all lanes there need to be >20m or >65ft covered by the beam between the area of interest and the maximum range of the sensor.
- (B) The lanes need to be fully covered by the beam. The stop bar zones should be fully covered by the cyan beam.
- (C) The green beam should not cover too much additional area on the right or left side of the stop bar. However, some allowance should be included at the outer lines of the beam on all lanes.
For recommended mounting parameters, please see chapter 4.5.

4.4 USING A VERTICAL INSTALLATION ANGLE
The radar beam has a limited vertical field of view, as shown in the figure below.
Figure 4-6: Vertical opening angle of the radar beam
The responsible person for installing the sensor needs to check the following steps:
Possible mounting heights are 1m to 10m or 3ft to 33ft above the ground.
The minimum detection range depends on the mounting height and the elevation angle.
The beam simulation of the TMC software can be used to verify the coverage of your area of interest
The TMC software has been designed to simulate6 the radar beam on the road according to the height,
vertical and horizontal angle, as well as the selected antenna.
Figure 4-7: TMC beam simulation
6 Please note that this is a simulation only aiming to provide guidance but not guaranteeing the detection within the area displayed.

4.5 STANDARD SETTINGS
For the best possible counting and classification performance of the sensor, the following settings should
be used:
Sensor height: 6m or 19.6ft
Vertical angle: -2°, -3°, -6°, or -8° towards the road
Horizontal angle: -10° to 0°
The detection zones should be placed at the following distances:
- At 25m or 82ft (20m to 90m or 65.6ft to 295ft) for approaching traffic
- At 120m or 393.7ft (50m to 150m or 164ft to 492ft) for receding traffic
For further details, please refer to the sensor datasheet on our website.

This section describes the parameter setup for the polygon feature without using the TMC. Please also see
the section describing how to use the polygon feature.
Polygon parameters are UAT V4 formatted arrays. The array dimensions are defined as follows:
i1 = polygon = polygon number [0<=i1<= 15]
i2 = corner = corner number [0<=i2<=7]
If the array has no dimensions (none), i1 and i2 are set to value 0.

5.6 FAIL-SAFE CAPABILITIES 14
The sensor offers diagnostics for different classes of failures. They are called error diagnostic conditions.
Please note that not all possible failures can be detected by the onboard diagnostics, and that the diagnostic
features neither have 100% detection rate nor 0% false alarm rate.
The event trigger relay module can be configured to activate all virtual relays of the sensor simultaneously
under certain conditions detected by the sensor diagnostic and self-test module. The error diagnostic
conditions can be configured by the parameter instruction:

RAIN DETECTION
The rain detection algorithm provides a set of parameters that can be adjusted to trigger the rain flag only
at certain rain levels and optionally set the relay output to fail-safe state, which means that all relays are
activated.
6 STATISTICS MODULE
In the following, the Statistics Module V2 is described as a top-level application running on the Traffic
Management sensor.
6.1 OBJECTIVES OF THE STATISTICS MODULE V2 (SM2)
The Traffic Management sensor generates an output of tracked object lists. That output is versatile but
unhandy for the end user. Furthermore, it requires comparatively high data communication bandwidth
whereas the user may have low-performance microcontrollers on the backend.
The Statistics Module V2 is the 2nd generation module which is much more flexible and optimized for the
customer’s requests than the first generation. It is optimized for the latest and upcoming sensor
generation structure.
Consequently, the Statistics Module V2 has the following capabilities:
- Executed on the sensor’s processor
- Providing the sole communication interface to the user
- Significantly reducing the amount of information transmitted to the user
- Generating results directly exploitable for the user, without any further interpretation
15 Please note that passing cars equipped with radar sensors may trigger the interference detection without decreasing the radar performance. Therefore, it is
not recommended to use the interference feature as error diagnostic condition.

6.2.2 ZONE SPECIFICATIONS
Statistics Module V2 uses up to 32 zones which can be placed freely within the coverage area from the
used sensor. A zone can be optionally docked to one or multiple lanes.
A zone will be formed from multiple two-dimensional segments (x & y position).
A zone consists of at least two segments, the number of used segments for each zone can be dynamically
increased. The heading of a zone will be defined by the used segment points, starting from the first
segment to the next one and so on. See chapter 6.3.3 and 0 for the zone and segments parameters.
Examples:
- 32 zones used with 4 segments per zone
- One zone used with 128 segments
- Two zones used with 1x 96 segments and 1x 32 segments
The sensor supports up to 128 segments in total.

6.2.4 STATISTIC FEATURE SPECIFICATION
The Statistic Module sends its output data for every zone which is configured to be used for statistics
gathering. The statistic interval time can be adjusted by a parameter. When the interval time is reached the
statistical data will be transmitted by the sensor.
In order to reduce the amount of transmitted data, the module reports the statistics for each zone separately
within a cycle (up to 32 cycles if 32 zones are used).
6.2.4.1 Statistic Output: Volume
This application is a class-specific count per zone.
Whenever the zone is occupied by a tracked object at a function call, its track ID will be processed and
recorded to an object-class dependent variable. When the track ID is unequal to the recorded track ID, a
counter will be incremented. This solution prevents multiple counting of one object.
- Supports count by class
- The resolution of the counter is in second
- The counter will be reset when the statistics interval time is reached
- Data amount: 16 bits per zone
6.2.4.2 Statistic Output: Occupancy
This feature is a counter per time that specifies the occupancy of the zone during the interval time. Whenever
the measuring point is occupied by a tracked object at a function call, a counter will be incremented. When
the interval time is reached the occupancy will be calculated. The result is a percentage.
- Supports occupancy calculation by class
- The resolution is [0.05%].
- The output will be reset when the interval time is reached
- Data amount: 11 bits per zone

Page 54 of 101 | 5. November 2021
Proprietary - This document may be subject to change without notice. The
information shall remain the exclusive property of s.m.s, smart microwave sensors GmbH.
Calculation of the occupancy follows the formula:
= ∑ −
report interval
Explanation and details:
The on-time is calculated as the time that any portion of a vehicle object is inside the virtual loop. It is
measured with the increment of the sensor cycle time, i.e., at approximately 56ms. The following example
depicts a vehicle object that enters the virtual loop highlighted in red below. As long as there is an overlap
of the red vehicle object and the virtual loop, the on-time is incremented.
The report-interval is the report time set to the sensor, e.g., 5 minutes by default.
6.2.4.3 Statistic Output: Average Speed
This feature yields an average speed per zone.
Whenever the zone is occupied by a new tracked object having the same class at a function call, its speed
will be added to an object-class dependent variable and a counter will be incremented. When the interval
time is reached, the average speed for each zone will be calculated.
- Supports average speed calculation by class
- The resolution is [0.01 {m/s}].
- The output is valid from 0m/s to 89m/s absolute.
- The average speed will be reset when the interval time is reached
- Data amount: 16 bits per zone

Proprietary - This document may be subject to change without notice. The
information shall remain the exclusive property of s.m.s, smart microwave sensors GmbH.
6.2.4.4 Statistic Output: 85th Percentile Speed
This feature yields the 85th percentile of speed distribution per zone. It means that 85% of all registered
vehicles having the same class within a zone go at the reported speed or less.
Whenever the zone is occupied by a tracked object at a function call, its speed will be added to an object-
class dependent history variable and a counter will be incremented.
When the interval time is reached the final 85th percentile speed for each zone will be calculated.
- Supports 85th percentile speed calculation by class
- The resolution is [0.01 {m/s}].
- The output is valid from 0m/s to 89m/s absolute.
- The 85th percentile speed will be reset when the general reset flag is set.
- Data amount: 16 bits per zone
6.2.4.5 Statistic Output: Headway
This feature yields the average passing time between two vehicle’s front-to-front in seconds per zone.
Whenever the zone is overrun by a tracked object at a function call, a timer is started. When a new object
crosses the zone, the elapsed time will be added to a sum time and a counter will be increased. When the
interval time is reached the average Headway time for each zone will be calculated.
- The resolution is [0.055s].
- The output is valid from 0.00 s to 3600.00s.
- The average headway time and the previous timer will be reset when the general reset flag is set.
- Data amount: 16 bits per zone
- This output is without classification, it will be sent as class 0 (undefined)
6.2.4.6 Statistic Output: Gap
This feature yields the average passing time between two vehicle’s rear-to-front in seconds per zone.
Whenever the zone is overrun by the back side of a tracked object at a function call, a timer is started. When
a new object crosses the zone, the elapsed time will be added to a sum time and a counter will be increased.
When the interval time is reached the average Gap time for each zone will be calculated.
- The resolution is [0.055s].
- The output is valid from 0.00s to 3600.00s.
- The average gap time and the previous timer will be reset when the general reset flag is set.
- Data amount: 16 bits per zone
- This output is without classification, it will be sent as class 0 (undefined)

information shall remain the exclusive property of s.m.s, smart microwave sensors GmbH.
6.2.4.7 Statistic Output: Per Vehicle Record
If the Per Vehicle Record (PVR) is active, then each counted track will be transmitted with a PVR message
immediately within the first cycle when the object enters the zone. This PVR message contains the following
information for each registered object:
- Object ID (consistent during the lifetime of the object)
- Zone
- Object class
- Object speed [m/s]
- Optional “exclusive count” can be de/activated if PVR count is needed for each zone
6.2.5 EVENT TRIGGER FEATURE SPECIFICATION

6.2.5.7 Fail-Safe Mode
Statistics Module V2 comes with an integrated failsafe trigger function which will activate all available output
relays as long as the detection performance is reduced.
The sensor supports failsafe mode for the following diagnostic functions:
- Heavy rain detection
- Interference detection
- Blind detection
The diagnostic flags will be transmitted within the statistics port header (port-based communication) and
within the 0x780 statistic output – Info Message 1 (CAN-based communication).
Each diagnostic function can be activated or deactivated for fail-safe detection. If at least one fail-safe
criterion is fulfilled all available output relays will become active. It is also possible to select the desired
relays for the fail-safe function.
Figure 4: Failsafe configuration within the TMConfigurator
Important Notice:
Fail-safe mode and fail-safe features of the sensor are designed to cover as many fail cases as possible
during the operation of the sensor. However, not all fail cases are covered: It is important to understand that
the detection rate of the sensor is not 100%, that the false alarm rate is not zero, and that not all fail cases
will be detected and reported and that some fail cases may be reported in error. The manufacturer disclaims
all liability for the operation of the fail-safe mode.
6.2.5.8 Fail-Safe Mode: Heavy Rain Detection
In heavy rain or snow conditions it is possible that the general sensor performance is reduced. The included
rain detection algorithm can detect these conditions and activate a rain flag if a certain amount of rain
targets have been detected. The rain detection function can be adjusted by parameters if desired.

6.2.5.9 Fail-Safe Mode: Interference Detection
If another sensor or device works within the same frequency band of the sensor it is possible that it will
interfere with the sensor and reduce the detection performance. The sensor recognizes if interference occurs
and activates the interference flag if it occurs.
The Interference fail-safe function can be adjusted by parameters if desired.
6.2.5.10 Fail-Safe Mode: Blind Detection
If the sensor radome is covered with snow or ice, or the field of view is disturbed (e.g., by a wall in front of
the unit), the sensor becomes blind or at least the detection performance is reduced.
The sensor analyses stationary and moving targets by different criteria (number of detected targets, signal
to noise ratio, etc.). If the quality level is too low, then the blind flag will become active.
The blind fail-safe function can be adjusted by parameters if desired.
6.3 STATISTIC MODULE COMMANDS
The Statistic Module contains various useful commands, which are described below.
6.3.1 STATISTIC MODUL – STATUS COMMANDS (UAT V4)
The following commands must be sent as “status” commands. The sensor will send UAT V4 response
messages which will deliver the requested status information.

7 HOW TO’S
This chapter shows further capabilities and settings, which can be configured for the radar sensor.
7.1 CAPABILITIES OF SIMULATION MODES
The radar sensor has different simulation modes for sending synthetic simulated traffic objects or triggers.
These modes can be activated and configured using the command view of the TMC software. In the
following, the relevant simulation modes are described.
Simulation modes (Table 7-1):
Simulation Modes Function Benefits Availability
1 Generates targets and objects on lanes
Simulates targets, objects, speeds and driving directions; tests trigger zones and statistic zones
No
2 Generates objects on lanes Simulates objects on lanes; tests trigger zones and statistic zones
Yes
3 Radar Cube simulator Verifies the function of the entire signal processing chain
No
4 Trigger outputs Verifies the reception of digital triggers at the intersection controller, PLC, etc.
Yes
SIMULATION MODE 2: OBJECT SIMULATION
Simulation Mode 2 generates objects with different speeds per lane and random classes depending on the
number of configured lanes.
This simulation is independent from the statistics module and the trigger module. You can adjust it to
simulate straight lanes or for using the defined tracking lanes/splines. It provides up to 64 lanes, where the

speed, direction, and class for the first eight lanes can be chosen freely. The 9th lane and above will copy the
setup of the 8th lane.
If the mode is set to “object simulation on lanes”, a number of objects will be simulated on “invisible” lanes.
They appear as close as possible along the boresight axis of the radar sensor. With a rising number of
simulated lanes, the 1st lane will move to the right side, from the sensor’s point of view.
With “object simulation on splines” objects will be simulated on the lanes defined with the TMC Installation
Wizard. The defined number of simulated lanes has no effect in this case.

SIMULATION MODE 4: TRIGGER OUTPUT SIMULATION
The trigger output simulation mode, also called relay simulation, is only available with the statistics module
and the event trigger module of the radar sensor.

Simulation Mode 4 generates triggered outputs, for example, digital binary signals to test the reception of
the intersection controller, Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), or another connected host.
The trigger output simulation has two sub modes:
1) For setting individual triggers
2) For an automated scheme in turn, with, for example, triggers running from relay 1 to 32 and from 32 back to 1

7.2 CHANGING THE FREQUENCY BAND
The frequency band can be defined via the firmware. Especially, if multiple radar sensors are used, special
care is necessary to avoid influences of interference among the sensors. The available frequency bands
listed below depend on the configuration. The allowances to use a respective transmit power level and
frequency band depend on the region of application.
In the table below, frequency approvals for the regions are labelled as follows:
A1: EU (incl. Belgium, Latvia), Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, Korea, Japan
B1: USA, Canada (Low Power, 12.7dBm EIRP)
B2: USA, Canada (High Power, 20dBm EIRP)

7.5.1 CONFIGURATION OF POLYGONS
To configure polygons, please go to the “Maintenance / Area of Interest / Polygons”.
Polygons can be added or deleted per drag-and-drop or by clicking the plus icon
The corner points of a polygon can be changed by selecting the relevant polygon within the polygon list and either moving the points or adjusting them in the point list
The behavior of the polygon can be determined by the polygon settings
Polygons need to be assigned to sensors individually, for example, to “NorthSensor”
In case two or more polygons are covering the same are, their behavior can be handled by defining their priority. In the are where polygons are overlaping, the polygon with the highest priority will define the behaviour and the others will be ignored.

7.5.2 POLYGON SETTINGS
There are three use cases for polygons:
1. Direction: The polygon will let the direction set as approaching or receding pass. The other direction will be blocked and not reported by the sensor.
2. Limited: The polygon will let all vehicle reports matching with the set speed limits pass. “Within limits”, “outside limits” and “target options” are for the experience user only.
3. No Tracking: No tracking is performed inside the polygon.
To make the polygons effective, please click “Apply All” for sending all polygons to all sensors or click “Apply
<Name>” for sending the polygon settings to a particular sensor.
Figure 7-11: Polygon settings
7.5.3 LIMITED POLYGONS
The behavior of the polygon should be defined for the area within the limits and outside of the limits:
Delete tracks: Object tracks will be deleted.
Deactivate object tracking: The object tracking will be completely deactivated. As a result, vehicles will open up a new track after they leave the polygon area.
Don’t transmit tracks: The object tracking will work normally but no tracked object will be reported.
Tracked objects can hold: Tracks will not be deleted after a full stop.
The target handling can be defined as follows:
Don’t initiate tracks: targets cannot open new tracks
Don’t associate with tracks: keeps the default settings
Stationary targets can init track: no effect

7.6 SETTING A SPLINE
It is possible to define up to 22 splines. A single spline can have four to six spline nodes.
The number of splines and the spline nodes cannot be determined directly. The end of the spline is indicated
with a special value, the float32 value 2047.0. For every node n with this value, the number of nodes for this
spline is n-1. If the first node of a spline p contains this value, only spline 1 to spline p-1 exist.
Each spline node has x- and y-coordinates. A spline can be used for approaching, receding, or bi-directional
traffic in relation to sensor. The sequence of the spline nodes determines the direction of the spline in single
direction mode, based on the assumption that a vehicle drives from the first node to last node. Bi-
directionality is set by a separate parameter.
7.6.1 SPLINE PARAMETERS
The spline parameters are UAT V4 formatted arrays. The array dimensions are defined as follows:
- i1 = spline = spline number [0 ≤ i1 < max. number of splines]
- i2 = node = spline node number [0 ≤ i2 ≤ 6]
Spline parameter overview (Table 7-6):

8.7 SENSOR CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
Sensor configuration parameters are stored within the sensor’s non-volatile memory and available upon
sensor reboot or restart without external intervention. To amend an existing sensor’s configuration, it is
recommended that the computer has the sensor’s configuration file available to facilitate simple and
effective re-programming of the sensor’s parameters. This configuration file is typically named as the
location and suffixed by the “.TSIF” file type.
Simply open the TMC Software, open the relevant TSIF file and connect to the target sensor. You are then
able to optionally retrieve the sensor’s configuration parameters and change as required prior to saving back
to the sensor.
Please note that the TSIF file carries the background map data, which is not saved to the sensor.

2 SENSOR SPECIFICATIONS
TRUGRD (UMRR-12 Type 48) is a 24GHz radar sensor for multi-lane, multi-object tracking traffic management applications that features 4D/UHD+ technology.
The antenna Type 48 aims at long range and wide horizontal angular coverage.
2.1 MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLE
The sensor measures range, radial speed, horizontal and vertical angle, reflectivity and more parameters of multiple stationary and moving reflectors (targets) simultaneously. It is capable of ultra-high definition (4D/UHD+). Through MIMO antenna operation and super resolution algorithms, the sensor achieves a particularly high azimuth angular separation capability (UHD+) and elevation measurement, depending on its configuration.
The sensor is almost unaffected by weather, temperature and lighting conditions.
4D/UHD+ MEASUREMENT
A 4D Doppler based radial motion detection principle is integrated:
a) Direct unambiguous Doppler measurement (speed) b) Direct range measurement c) Direct azimuth angle measurement (horizontal angle) d) Direct elevation angle measurement (vertical angle)1
Moving reflectors with an absolute radial speed component of typically >0.1m/s can be detected as well as stationary objects.
With its multi-target capability, the sensor can detect many reflectors within the field of view at a time (max. 2562). The field of view typically covers up to 12 lanes. Additionally, filter algorithms are implemented for the tracking of all detected reflectors over time. Those tracking algorithms are integrated in the sensor. Multiple objects (max. 2562) can be tracked simultaneously. Depending on the selected communication interface, the number of reported targets and objects may be limited, for example when using RS485 interface. Both, targets and objects, are sorted by range; those with short range are reported first.
The result of tracking is an object list with the following parameters:
- X-position - Y-position - Absolute velocity
- Heading angle - Length - Object ID and more
The sensor reports such a list of all tracked objects in every measurement cycle of typically 50 or 100ms length, depending on the application.
1 Configurations without elevation angle measurement (3D) are also available. 2 Depending on the configuration.

ULTRA-HIGH DEFINITION RESOLUTION - OBJECT SEPARATION PERFORMANCE
The sensor can separate objects even in areas where many vehicles are closely spaced: for example, in multi-lane scenarios with dense traffic like traffic jams, stop-and-go traffic or at busy intersections. The sensor measures object parameters in 4 dimensions: range, radial speed, azimuth and elevation angle – depending on the operational mode. It also separates in range cells, Doppler cells and azimuth beams (UHD+).
Individual reflectors are separated by detection algorithms if having either:
- A different radial speed value or - A different range value or - A different azimuth angular position
Tracking algorithms and the data base further support the separation of objects.
Same range, different speed Different range, same speed Same range and speed,
different angle

Please note that in the standard configuration the sensor does have a 120 Ohms resistor on board (CAN bus termination between CAN L and CAN H). Likewise, for the RS485 data interface there is a 120 Ohms resistor on board of the sensor. This resistor is required at either end of a CAN / RS485 bus.
Several cable sets for initial operation and test purposes are offered by smartmicro, to deliver a fast set- up of a sensor system. Among those preconfigured ready-to-run cables as well as cable stumps (pig tail cables or various lengths) which carry the connector on one side and open wires on the other.

MOUNTING POSITION
The sensor is usually mounted on a vertical pole at the roadside; no setback is required. Other mounting positions (gantry, mast arm, luminaire) are possible.
START-UP TIME
After powering up or resetting, sensor readings meet the specified performance in <30s.
3.1 SELF-DIAGNOSIS
The sensor cyclically reports a status message providing the following information: sensor run time, sensor cycle time, sensor mode and diagnosis information.
The sensor has a self-diagnosis feature to allow limited fail-safe capabilities, detecting for example:
- Sensor blindness - Rain - Misalignment in roll or pitch angle - Detection and suppression of interference
3.2 SENSOR NETWORK
Sensors are typically used standalone. However, at intersections up to four sensors can be connected to one TMIB (interface board to intersection controllers; available as accessory) using separate configurable frequency channels, which avoid mutual interference.
