The goal of this research is to investigate applications of Autosense-III, the latest generation of a laser based vehicle sensor that was developed by Schwartz Electro-Optics, Inc. (SEO), an Orlando based company. This report documents findings of the first year in this multi-year research program. The major tasks of the first year included procuring the two Autosense III units, selecting a site on I-4 for installation of the units, installing the units successfully on I-4, and establishing a remote communication link through cellular data line to download data from the units. All these tasks were accomplished successfully during the first year. Future research will conduct in-depth comparison of Autosense III speed and volume data with data collected from the nearest working magnetic loop detector station to the selected site on I-4 and/or comparison with data collected from tapes of closed circuit television cameras on I-4. |
