Traffic Reporter

Traffic Reporter™
The Traffic Reporter™ is a speedy, reliable and cost-effective solution for both permanent and temporary counting needs. Fitting any road type, Traffic Reporter can simultaneously time-stamp and store traffic data from up to 8 lanes of traffic, in their internal memory and transmit it to the central PC via wireless modems.
Its central PC software can be prescheduled to automatically download stored data from hundreds of remote RTMS® stations via modems, and generate reports in user-defined formats in batch mode.
