Chapter 1 — Introduction to the ADR Plus Line
This chapter introduces the product and explains the layout of this manual, along with
type conventions and other topic. The following topics are discussed in detail in this
chapter:
• Getting Started Using your ADR Plus unit, on page 6.
• About the ADR Product Line, on page 7.
• What Makes it a Plus Unit, on page 8.
• ADR-1000 Plus overview, on page 9.

OVERVIEW – GETTING STARTED

The ADR is designed to be easy to operate. One method used to accomplish the
ease of operation is to factory set certain parameters.
Important The factory settings in this new ADR are different from previous ADR’s
you may have used.
You may wish to change these for your particular area of operations. Even if you are
accustomed to using other ADR or Peek equipment, you should take note of the
settings as listed below.
1. The “SPACING” setting for speed sensing is factory set to 16 feet. You can
change this if desired, and should use a setting of 8 feet for work in a urban or
slow traffic area.
2. The factory setting for roadtube debounce is 40 ms., the maximum inter-axle
distance on any vehicle is set to 35 feet, and the maximum length of any
vehicle is set to 80 feet.
3. Data files collected from the ADR will be “daily” type (not continuous) and a
new file will be started each night at midnight. You can change this if desired.
4. File (memory) “wrapping” is active. “Wrapping” means that the oldest file is
automatically deleted when space is needed for new files. You can change this
if desired.
5. The communications port will automatically “turn on” when a file transfer is
requested, and will “turn off” after the transfer is completed. Communications
are set to a fast rate of 19,200 baud. You can change this if desired.
If you have just received the ADR

Check the battery voltage and the internal battery connection before using the unit.
If the battery is connected and has a usable charge, the display will turn on when you
press the green “ENTER” key on the control panel. When the display turns on, you
can read the battery voltage on the center of the display. The battery voltage should
read approximately 6.40 volts before use.

Overview – Getting Started
About the ADR Line

This manual describes the ‘ADR Plus’ line of Automatic Data Recorder products from
Peek Traffic Corporation.
The ADR has been developed to be the most advanced, yet simple-to-operate
instrument available today for the counting, classification and monitoring of traffic. It is
completely self-contained, and includes control panel facilities for configuring, data
collection and live monitoring. All ADR units have at least one communications port,
which allows a PC to modify the ADR’s settings and to collect the data stored. In fact,
everything that can be done from the front control panel of the ADR can also be
achieved by controlling the ADR from a PC. The PC can communicate via a modem
with the ADR by using an optional telemetry software package. Depending on the
sensor configuration, the ADR is able to record the total volume of traffic, and a
vehicle’s direction, headway, gap, speed, axle classification, length and weight. In
addition, details can be recorded on a per-vehicle, per axle or per sensor event basis
for later analysis. For axle classification, a classification tree is provided that meets
FHWA standards, or alternatively, custom classification can be configured by the
operator for local requirements.
The ADR is a precision electronic instrument, which has been built to the highest
standards of quality and durability. Used with care, it will provide accurate and
comprehensive data for many years. The ADR is available in three main versions:
the ADR-1000 and ADR-2000, which are portable, and the ADR-3000, which is a rack
mount version suitable for permanent installations. The ADR-1000, ADR-2000, ADR-
3000 (and “Plus”) versions have differing numbers of slots for adding optional sensor
boards. These may include piezo, piezo WIM (Weigh In Motion), loop (presence) or
contact closure boards. The standard portable ADR has either 2 or 4 road tube
inputs. For other applications, additional sensor boards can be fitted to the ADR
internal expansion slots (up to eight boards in the racked version). Each board can
contain either eight loop (presence) inputs, eight piezo inputs, or fourteen contact
closure inputs.

What Puts the Plus in an ADR-Plus?

The name “ADR Plus” indicates an enhanced version of the ADR which provides
1 Megabyte of onboard SRAM memory within the basic ADR before adding extra cost
memory solutions such as PCMCIA cards. The new “ADR-Plus” also contains an
addtional 1 Megabyte of onboard EEPROM space. (The ADR Plus line provides a
total of 1MB of usable onboard memory for firmware and data storage.)
In addition, in the ADR Plus line, the Battery Sentinel circuitry has been integrated
into the main CPU board, along with a
socket mounted 5 Amp Slow-Blow fuse. By
incorporating the latest developments in
surface mount technology, the reliability has
been further enhanced and when service is
required, it will be performed faster. The
other changes incorporated to assist in
manufacturing and service testing help to
hold the line on rising costs while assuring
the best quality available. Since the ADR
Plus CPU boards are direct replacements
for previous boards, they provide a smooth
upgrade path for existing equipment
owners. ADR Plus components include: ADR-1000-Plus main CPU board (#82-
1099), the ADR-(2000-3000)-CPU-Plus (#82-1410-1010f), the Dual Comms card
(#82-1081), and the PC-Card Drive (#82-1031). Various other sensor cards are also
available and are described in other manuals.
CPU Plus boards can be used as direct plug in, upgrade or repair replacements for
previous boards, and will provide: EEPROM capacity of 1MB, SRAM capacity of 1MB,
Integrated Battery sentinel and CPU fuse, (Socket mounted 5 Amp Slow Blow). In
Plus units, the sensor card hardware reset can be controlled by the CPU, and the
installation of new firmware (Reprogramming) can be performed with without a
motherboard. Additionally, in the ADR-2000 Plus and ADR 3000 Plus configurations,
the CPU Plus card is fitted with 2 LED’s and a hardware reset button. (not shown on
2000)

ADR-1000 Plus
Shown here is the ADR-1000 Plus. The ADR-1000 Plus builds upon the high
standards of the ADR-1000 and looks essentially the same. Inside, The ADR-1000
Plus adds more memory and incorporates watertight barrier roadtube inputs. The
ADR-1000 Plus unit pictured is equipped with the integral solar panel option and the
PC Card (PCMCIA) memory options. The Solar option allows roadtube units to stay in
the field collecting data indefinitely. The PC Card memory option is an easy way to
collect or transfer files from unit to unit and to the office. In addition to the four
roadtube inputs, the ADR-1000 Plus has room for one sensor module, which can
provide eight loop, eight piezo, eight WIM, or 14 contact closure inputs depending on
the module fitted. Various other options are available for special applications and
data retrieval.
Figure 1 – ADR-1000 Plus Unit

ADR-2000 Plus
The ADR-2000 Plus is the portable and expandable “big brother” to the 1000 unit and
features a easily assessable battery compartment for in the field battery changes with
out tools. A popular option is the solar panel (not shown) which is integral to the lid
when ordered. Four expansion slots (one for memory, three for sensor modules)
allow a extensive range of application options. When fitted with 3 of the SC-514P
contact closure input cards, the portable ADR-2000 Plus is able to monitor a
maximum of 42 lanes of traffic. WIM sensor boards are available which provide
inputs for up to eight WIM sensors per board When fitted with three of the SL-58P
eight channel loop cards, up to 24 lanes can be counted simultaneously with one loop
in each lane. A WIM configuration option is two WIM modules and a loop module,
providing up to eight lanes of Weigh-In-Motion data can be recorded from WIM-Loop-
WIM arrays in each lane.

Figure 16 – Count Monitor screen

The COUNT MONITOR option shows the total volume of traffic for each channel
being recorded according to the configuration of the ADR. If the ADR is recording
data (Record mode), the values displayed in the COUNT MONITOR screen are reset
to zero at the end of each MAIN INTERVAL. If the ADR is not recording data, the
values are reset to zero each time the operator leaves the screen. Note: If 10 lanes
of traffic are being recorded as 2 channels, the count monitor will only display the 2
channels of volume data, not data for each of the 10 lanes.

LASER MONITOR
The Laser Monitor can be accessed from the check menu. This option is only
available if the ADR is fitted with at least one contact-closure board (for example, an
SC514-P module.)
LZ:O1 Off:070 LW:120

0100 015 014 1270
0220 0340 0460 0580
0100 0260 0380 0480
Figure 17 – Laser Monitor screen
The LZ setting shows which of the attached lasers is being viewed on the screen. If
you have a two laser array for classification purposes, the LZ 01 laser is usually the
lead sensor. Press the down arrow key to see the screens for additional lanes, and
additional laser sensor units.
The ‘Off’ value indicates the offset (in tenths of feet) between the laser itself and the
start of the nearest lane of traffic. 070 indicates that the front glass of the AxleLight
laser sensor is 7 feet from the first traffic lane.
LW indicates lane width, in tenths of feet. So the 120 shown above indicates a
standard lane width of 12 feet. (These settings can be input in the Calibrations >
Laser portion of the ADR menus.)
The second line shows feedback information received from the laser. The first
number shows the distance to the nearest object that has been detected, in tenths of
a foot. The second and third numbers on the second row are incremented each time
a message is sent to (left number) and received from (right number) the laser sensor
unit. The rightmost number on the second row indicates the distance to the opposite
barrier on the roadway, if one exists. If none exists, this number will indicate the
maximum distance measured by the Axlelight, ‘1270’, or 127 feet.
The third row shows the distance to the FAR SIDE of each lane’s detection zone. So
in our example above, it indicates that the far edge of lane one is 22 feet, the far edge
of lane two is 34 feet, then 46’ for lane three, and finally 58’ for lane four.
The bottom row of numbers indicate the distance to the most recent detection within
that lane’s zone. In our example above, it shows that there was a vehicle detected at
10’ from the laser in lane 1.

Check Equipment

SETUP FILE TYPES

The following describes the six different ADR SetUp File options. These options have
been enhanced to assist users when configuring ADRs. Each of the six SetUp Files
retains various ADR Configuration Settings. For example users who are deploying
numerous portable ADRs that require identical configuration can now select SETUP
or SETUP + CTREE which will greatly reduce the number of key stroke entries
required to configure an ADR during setup. For a permanent ADR the BACKUP File
option saves the recorder configuration which can be saved, downloaded and
reloaded to a different unit if a user has the necessity to replace the unit.
These are the available types of setup files that can be stored on an ADR:

OVERVIEW
ADR data recorders can perform a variety of very complex traffic studies. In an effort
to reduce some of the difficulty of setting up a study, the ADR includes a wizard that
will walk you through configuring a traffic study. It can be accessed from the ADR
Main Menu by choosing Custom Setup.
Note The Custom Setup command is only available when the ADR is not
already running a study.
Another way to access the Custom Setup wizard is to press the ‘3’ button from
anywhere in the ADR menu system.
When the the unit is Armed but not running, the Custom Setup command will be
replaced with one to ‘Quit Arm’, which also functions with the ‘3’ shortcut key press. If
you select Quit Arm, the ADR will ask:
QUIT ARM
ARE YOU SURE?
NO
Figure 28 – Verify quit arming function
To disable the arming of a study, change the value to yes using the left or right arrow
key, and press ENTER.
SITE ID
The SITE ID (12 characters) is intended to be used as a reference identifier for the
ADR, the location at which you place the unit to perform a study and the type of data
that you will collect. By default (factory setting) the unique Electronic Serial Number
(ESN) is coded as the Site ID.
SITE ID.
000110229181
STATION
000000000001
Figure 29 – Site ID and Station Number in Custom Setup
Remember that several of the wizard screens have multiple parameters showing. The
underscored indicates which field is currently available for editing.
Use the left and right arrow buttons to movie around within a field, and use the
number keys to set the values. Press the ‘1’ key to enter the number 1 into the field.
Or hold down the F1 key and press the ‘1’ key to enter one of the letters assigned to

Station Number
that key. (For example, to enter a ‘C’, hold down the F1 key, and then press the ‘1’
key three times.)
STATION NUMBER
This information can be unique within your organization. STATION ID (12 characters)
is optional and should be regarded as merely an extension of the SITE ID.
Note: The left or right arrow keys are used to move the cursor in the SITE ID and the
STATION NUMBER, once entered press the ENTER key.
You can also include letters of the alphabet. Pressing and holding down the F1 (up
arrow) key will allow the selection of alphabet characters by scrolling letters
associated with the number keys (the One key also will scroll the letters A, B, and C).
Once the desired character is displayed releasing the F1 key selects the character
and moves the cursor to the next position. Please feel free to change the SITE ID and
STATION to what ever identifiers you want to use. These identifiers are part of the
data files collected and will always allow you to trace files back to the ADR from which
the files originated.

Classification Vehicle Classification; is determined by the number of Axles and the Axle
(Class) Spacing’s of each vehicle per the FHWA type F scheme. Vehicles will be
displayed and stored according vehicle classification using the currently
active CLASS TREE. The Class Tree can be constructed to use any or all of
the following criteria – Axle Spacing, Axle Weight, Gross Weight, or Length
(from presence sensor).
Length Overall vehicle inductive (bumper to bumper) length when using loops or
wheelbase length when using axle sensors displayed and stored in either feet
or meters, number and bin limits must be specified.
Gross Vehicle gross weight, number of and bin limits must be specified weights can
be displayed and stored in either kips or tonnes.

Triple Triple Axle Weights number of and bin limits must be specified, weights can
be displayed and stored in either kips or tonnes. This data is also controlled
by the Max Axle Spacing’s.
If a WIM module is installed, this option is displayed when any of the WIM arrays
have been selected. The on scale sensor is used to flag or filter vehicles which are
not traveling over the sensors correctly. The on scale sensor is an 18” piezo sensor
which is installed in one wheel path. If used, vehicles which miss or straddle the on
scale sensor will generate an error code which can be used to filter or flag the vehicle.
The default setting for the On Scale sensor is “NO”

Count Ratio
This method, each vehicle is terminated after the specified number of axles have
been detected. For example, if the value selected is 2.0, every second axle is
regarded as the end of the vehicle, which means that if 200 axles are detected, 100
vehicles are counted. The value need not be a whole number. The range is 1 to
13.99.
Timeout
With this method, each vehicle is terminated after an axle has not been detected for
the length of the time you specify. The normal setting is 2 seconds.
Both
If both are select for this setting, both a COUNT RATIO and TIMEOUT value need to
be selected. In this case, the vehicle is terminated by the method that causes the
earliest termination.
NUMBER OF ARRAYS
This option is displayed when the ADR’s hardware enables more than one array to be
selected. The number of arrays that are able to be used is dependent on the array
type that has been selected and the number of Sensor Boards and types installed in
the ADR.

Figure 34 – Number of Studies screen in Custom Setup
The ADR has the ability to record up to eight individual studies plus Per-Vehicles-
Records simultaneously. Each study can have its own bin settings and up to three
heading per study, the maximum number of bin headers per study is 128.
For example; study one could be a Speed by Lane study and the second study could
be a Class by Lane study which would be stored in one file and will be separated
when processed.
Only those available Data types study will be available depending on the selection of
Type of Array (See “Type of Array” chart on page 44) that has been selected.
For each study, you will be asked to define these parameters (some parameters are
asked for only certain types of arrays and binned data types):
Headings
Summate Channels
Channel Mapping
Study 1 – Heading 1
Heading 1, 2 & 3: User definable, (See Array Type Table (page 44) and Type of
Binned Data (page 45) required for setup options).

Channel Mapping
Depending on the Array type selected, the ADR Channel Mapping option may have
up to four different selections. Note; that arrays that have at least two sensors per
lane have two flows. A forward direction is known as a + or positive flow and a
reverse direction is known as a – or negative flow. Each option is described below.
Combined
Combines both the forward (+) and reverse (–) flows together into the same lane of
data.
User Defined
This allows the user to define by individual lane and flow the bin in which the data is
to be stored. It also allows the use of NONE which will not increment the count for
vehicles meeting the specified criteria selected.
Separated
Will separate all forward (+) and reverse (–) flows into two lanes (channels) of data for
each array.
Forward Only
If Forward Only is selected only those vehicles which activate the sensors in the
Forward (+) flow will be processed. Any vehicles that activates the sensors in a
reverse (-) flow will be discarded.
If COMBINED or FORWARD ONLY has been selected a Summate Channels option
is presented.
Summate Channels
If Class has been selected, an option to summate classes is offered. This option
allows several classes of vehicles to be summated into one bin.
The Summate Channels allows the user to add the counts for individual lanes into a
defined bin.
PVR: What Classes

If PVR file storage has been set and PVR’s were selected for Files required the
following selections are available:
All Classes
This option will store all classes of vehicle in the PVR file.
Class 4 or Above
This option will store only Class 4 and above vehicles in the PVR file.

PVR: Which Arrays?
Unclassed
If selected this option will store only those vehicles that are unclassed by the ADR’s
active class tree in the PVR file.
PVR: WHICH ARRAYS?

This option allows PVR to be stored from only the selected lanes or Arrays to be
stored. The selection will appear as follows for each lane:
Array # Yes or No
MAIN INTERVAL
The left or right arrow allows selection of the desired normal recording interval. The
available choices are; 1 MIN, 2 MIN, 5 MIN, 6 MIN, 10 MIN, 15 MIN, 30 MIN, 60 MIN,
2 HR, 3 HR, 6 HR, 12 HR, 24 HR, and NonStop intervals.
MAIN INTERVAL
60 MIN

Figure 35 – Main Interval screen in Custom Setup
The recording interval is the frequency at which the ADR saves its recorded data in
the bin file. If, for example, you choose 5 MIN, the ADR stores data in the bin file on
every five-minute interval of the clock, e.g. at 13:00, 13:05, 13:10, etc.
NUMBER OF PEAKS
This option is displayed only if the MAIN INTERVAL is 60 MIN or more. It enables
different recording intervals to be selected for up to four peak periods of the day.

ENTER COMPLETES
Figure 36 – Number of Peaks screen in Custom Setup
Example; morning, noon, afternoon and evening. If necessary, the recording interval
can be different for each peak period. Peak intervals are used to save memory space
and to allow collection of detailed data in the time periods it is needed. This is
accomplished by setting a very large NORMAL interval, (ex. 1 HR or more) for all
hours when traffic is light, and then setting a small peak time interval (ex. 5 or 15
MIN) for the heavy traffic times of day when detailed information is required.

If a specified time or date in the future is required, press the left or right arrow key to
select “NO”; and press ENTER, then enter in the desired date and time.. The left or
right arrow key moves the cursor within the date or time to make a change. The ADR
always starts to record at the beginning of the next available interval. If the MAIN
INTERVAL is 1HR and the current time is 14:10, the ADR will begin to record data at
15:00, assuming that there are no PEAK INTERVALS selected between 14:10 and
15:00. The ADR uses 00:00 as midnight and the minute just before midnight is 23:59.
NEVER END?
This determines when the ADR will stop collecting data. If no stop time is required,
just press ENTER. If an ending time and date is required, use the left or right arrow
key to choose “NO”, then enter the time and date to end and press ENTER. If an
unacceptable time or date were entered (times or dates in the past) the ADR will not
advance until you have corrected the error. You can not enter a time or date to stop
recording that is prior to a programmed start time.

Figure 40 – Which Sensors in the Sensitivity menu

The sensitivity of each sensor input can be adjusted if the ADR is found to be
undercounting (increase sensitivity) or over counting (decrease sensitivity). The value
for SENSITIVITY is dependent on the factors such as the flexibility of the road
(oscillations in the road can cause phantom pulses) and the types of vehicle using the
road (heavy vehicles can cause an oscillation in the road that travels in front of the
vehicle). You may need to increase the sensitivity if the road carries a lot of light
traffic, such as motorcycles. All sensor modules 1 = lowest sensitivity setting and 8 =
highest sensitivity setting.

The Sensitivity menu, displays in which slot of the motherboard the sensor module
has been installed.
Weight
The Weight control will only appear on the Sensitivity menu if a piezo weight sensor
or a WIM sensor module are installed in the ADR.
The weight menu displays the starting base factor and current base factor being used
by the ADR to calculate a vehicle’s axle and gross weight. If Auto Calibrate has been
set to “YES” the current base factors will automatically be updated depending on
vehicle type, target weight and the number of vehicles selected in the Auto Calibrate
menu.
WIM
Temp Compensate
If set to “YES” and a road way temperature probe has been installed the ADR will
update the current base factor as the roadway temperature changes.
Auto Calibrate
This feature allows the ADR Weight-In-Motion unit to automatically calculate and
update the base factors for each array based on the calculated weights of the
vehicles being weighed. The autocalibate feature will continually update the base
factors as environmental conditions change.
Selectable Items
Class
The target vehicle type or (class) which to use to calculate and recalibrate each
array.
Axle Number
The target axle number on the target vehicle to use as the specified known
weight.
Target Value
The target value or weight of the target axle on the target vehicle to use as the
specified known weight.
MAX Difference

Calibration
The maximum allowed percentage difference between the target weight and the
average measured weight which is measured over the number of vehicles
specified in the Update Value After menu. If the calculated difference exceeds
this value the base factor for the sensors will be adjusted.
Update Value After
The update value after menu allows the number of vehicles of the specified class
to be entered that will be used to recalculate the average measured weight for
each lane.
Threshold WIM Area
The threshold WIM Area allows a raw value to be entered which will filter out
ghost detections (axles) caused by vehicles passing in an adjacent lanes.
Debounce
A DEBOUNCE value or DEAD TIME ensures that phantom signals from road tubes,
piezo or WIM sensors are not regarded as axles. It is the time set to ignore any pulse
after a valid axle detection. The range of possible values is from 1 to 998 msec. If the
ADR is undercounting, reduce the debounce time; if the ADR is over-counting,
increase the debounce time.

Figure 42 – Debounce on the Calibrate menus
The first value is TUBE DEBOUNCE which is used with roadtube sensors. The
default value for Tube Debounce is 40ms.
The second value is AXLE DEBOUNCE which is used with Piezo sensors. The
default value for Axle Debounce is 00ms.
The third value is WIM DEBOUNCE which is used with WIM sensors. The default
value for WIM Debounce is 00ms.
Type in the desired value, then press ENTER.

Phantom Axle Diagram

The value for TUBE DEBOUNCE is dependent on factors such as the speed of the
traffic and length of the tube for TUBE DEBOUNCE (reflections from the end of the
tube can occur). The smoothness of the road surface (loose tubes or ruts in the road
can result in an extra counts). In urban conditions with a typical average speed of 35
MPH or less, it is normal to set the TUBE DEBOUNCE to 80 msec. In open free
flowing traffic conditions with a typical average speed of 50 miles per hour, it is
normal to set the TUBE DEBOUNCE to 30 msec. Adjustment of these values can
improve the accuracy of the data. In an urban area, use the Array Monitor function to
observe and count axles as they cross over the road tubes.
Real Front Axle Phantom Axle Next Real Axle
Debounce Time Setting
Too Short = Counts extra Axles

Correct = No additional Axles
Too Long = Removes real Axles
Figure 43 – Phantom Axle Diagram

For example; if a 2 axle vehicle slowly drives across the tubes and the ADR counts 3
or 4 axles, increase the setting by adding 10 msec. Or in a high speed area, observe
and count the axles on a 5 axle truck, if the ADR only counts 3 or 4 axles, decrease
the setting by subtracting 10 msec. If no adjustment is made, the ADR automatically
uses a setting of 40 msec.
The value for AXLE DEBOUNCE and WIM DEBOUNCE are also site dependent, and
can also be affected by factors such as the flexibility and roughness of the road.
Laser
The Laser control only appears in the Configure menu if there is an AxleLight laser
sensor installed and conntected to a contact closure module in the ADR.
Read Laser ADDR: ff

Allows a user to read the address of each Laser.
Set Laser ADDR: 01

The address in each Laser is set to 01 by default, this option allows resetting the
address back to 01.

Read Spacing
The Read Spacing’s feature reads the current the detection zone spacing’s that are
stored in each laser.
Set Spacing
The Set spacing’s feature allows the detection zone for each lane to either be
manually or automatically set. If “NO” is selected to Autocalibrate, users are given the
option to manually set the beginning and ending point of the detection zone for each
lane.
If the study selected requires two lasers this menu allows the spacing between them
to be set.
Autocalibrate? (YES / NO)

If “YES” is selected to Autocalibrate? The ADR will automatically set the beginning
and ending point of each detection zone for each lane once a vehicle has been
detected in the closest lane.
Note For additional Laser Setup and configuration details, please

refer to, AxleLight Operating Manual. (p/n 99-443)
Spacings
The Spacing’s option allows the spacings for each array to be defined.

For any array with a pair of axle sensors, (Road-Tubes, Piezos or Lasers) it is the
distance between the two sensors.
For any array with presence sensors it is the distance from leading edge of the first
sensor to the leading edge of the second sensor. The size of the sensing area is also
required.
Default setting for Spacing’s is 16.0’ with a loop size of 6.0’, which is measured in the
direction of travel of the vehicle over the loop.

The new enhanced Alarm operation provides users control of the delay and the
amount of on time for the Opto-isolated output. Users can now select which lanes and
Class of vehicle the Alarm will trigger for. The Alarm output can be directed to trigger
the ADR’s Opto-isolated output or to send via serial port a Per-Vehicle-Record. These
selections are now available though the ADR keyboard and display using ADR
Firmware versions of V5.57 and later. This Alarm Operation is only available on the
ADR 2000 and 3000.
The Alarm LIMITS are defined by the user using the CONFIGURE / LIMITS menu
options. By selecting COMBINED or SEPARATED users can specify weather all
limits must be met or just one to trigger an Alarm. By using a bit mask users can
select which ARRAYS and vehicle CLASSES the Alarm will be active for. The LIMITS
menu allows users to set a MAX and MIN SPEED, MAX AXLE WT., MAX GROSS

The ADR can hold several different types of files. All of these files can be open at the
same time to record data. To store “STP” or “PVR” files to the CPU Module space
must first be allocated. The Binned, PVR and STP files can all have their own
memory location. That area may reside on the same physical memory device. That
memory may be on a PC Memory card or the CPU Module or a combination. A
memory device can support several files however a file cannot overlap two or more
memory devices. This option allows a user to specify the module on which to store
the files and to specify the maximum amount of the module that can be used for each
file type. The CPU module may be used as the primary location if no other media is
available. Making a change will not affect the location of files that already exist.

• The ADR Plus RS232 Module, on page 99.
• The ADR PCMCIA Module, on page 100.

OVERVIEW
The ADR Plus line of data recorders have been designed to accept Eurocard format
detector and other types of add-on modules. The ADR-1000 Plus has room for one
additional card. The ADR-2000 Plus can accept up to four additional cards. The ADR-
3000 Plus can accept up to 11 addtional cards and modules, depending on the size of
the rack being used. The next sections describe each of the major detect and other
add-on modules that are currently available for the ADR Plus product line.
SC514-P CONTACT MODULE

The SC-514P utilises the analog circuitry developed in Peek Traffic with the micro-
controller and parallel interface which has been used in the SL-58P loop detector.
The microcontroller is used for setting up the circuitry via the comms. Like the SL58-P
the SC-514P can be placed into stop and awoken by command. The unit works by
sensing the change of state resulting from an external contact closure or similar
signal and processing the result as a time stamped signal via comms to the ADR
CPU.
Figure 74 – SC514-P Contact Module, side view

The detector is available only in a 14 channel configuration. The detector is
manufactured in standard (100 x 162.5 mm) Eurocard format.
Input Sensitivity: The sensitivity of each channel is preset and non adjustable
(beyond on –off) via the serial coms.
Stop Mode: The detector can be placed into stop mode and awoken via serial coms.

SA58-P Piezo Module
Detect Output: The output will be placed on the data bus when the address matches
the ident of the detector. When a detect occurs the BINT\ line will be pulled low to
inform the CPU card. The BINT\ line may be Enabled/Disabled via serial coms. The
Detect Output may be displayed on the front panel LED'S via serial coms control or
by pressing the “Lamps” button. Each channel may be switched ON or OFF via serial
coms
Default Settings: BINT enabled, All outputs enabled
Specifications
Voltage: The detector operates on a supply voltage between 4.5V and 5.5V. The
board is protected against accidental polarity reversal.
Current: The detector operates within the following: 4.19mA total max current
Interference/Crosstalk
The Input Channels do not mutually interfere under normal input coupling factors.
SA58-P PIEZO MODULE
Figure 75 – SA58-P Piezo Module, side view

The SA58-P Piezo detector utilises the analog circuitry developed in Peek Traffic with
the micro-controller. The microcontroller is used for setting up the gain of the analog
circuitry via the comms. The SA58-P the detector can be placed into stop and awoken

by command. The unit works by sensing the strike of a piezo sensor and processing
the result as a time stamped signal via comms to the ADR CPU.
The module provides 8 channels of piezo detection. The detector is manufactured in
standard (100 x 162.5 mm) Eurocard format.
Piezo Sensitivity: The sensitivity of each channel may be set via the serial coms.

Current: The detector operates within the following range 4.19mA total max current
Output: Serial communications of time stamped of piezo on event plus system status
messages.

SL58-P Loop Module
SL58-P LOOP MODULE

FREQUENCY JUMPERS
J20 AND J19
Figure 76 – SL58-P Loop Module, side view

The SL-58P is a low current eight channel inductive vehicle detector designed
primarily for the ADR for traffic data monitoring applications. The detector uses
channel scanning techniques which permit freedom from cross channel interference
from the eight channels within a detector. The detector has very good performance
when parameters such as speed, occupancy, and headway are being measured.
Automatic tuning on `power up' or reset allows detector operation in 2 seconds. Both
power up and reset clear any detect and fault outputs already set in the detector.
Software controls allow each channel sensitivity and Hysterisis to be adjusted while
the detector is working, although a change in a setting will cause the detector to reset.
Any individual channel can be `switched off', with a `channel off' the associated road
loop will not be energized.
Failsafe on Fault
Open or short circuit loop: The channel led will go into detect condition while the loop
fault condition exists, and the fault output led will light (if enabled by push button). The
fault output will be held as long as the fault exists.

Operating Instructions
Note: THE POWER SUPPLY TO ALL DETECTORS IN A RACK MUST BE
SWITCHED OFF WHILE ANY DETECTOR IS BEING INSTALLED OR REMOVED
FROM THE RACK.
1. With ONE multiple channel detector the FREQUENCY jumpers can normally
have any setting as the channels of the detector are individually activated.
2. Speed measurement :- Both channels should be set to the same sensitivity (in
the range 0.1 to 1.0%) and the speed measuring pair of channels must be
adjacent.
3. Where ROAD LOOPS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY ARE CONNECTED TO
DIFFERENT DETECTORS then channel separation may be necessary. The

There are two jumpers available to set the frequency of the SL58-P loop module,
labeled as J19 and J20. Normally no setting is necessary due to the scanning nature
of the detector. If interference or cross talk is noted between loop modules frequency
separation may be necessary. The chart below describes the frequency settings of
the SL58-P Loop Module.

SW58-P Piezo WIM Module
SW58-P PIEZO WIM MODULE

The SW-58P is a low current eight channel Piezo Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) sensor
module designed primarily for the ADR for traffic data monitoring applications.
Figure 77 – SW58-P Piezo Module, side view

SA74-P PIEZO MODULE

The SA74-P Piezo detector utilises the analog circuitry developed in Peek Traffic with
the micro-controller. The microcontroller is used for setting up the gain of the analog
circuitry via the comms. The unit works by sensing the strike of a piezo sensor and
processing the result as a time stamped signal via comms to the ADR CPU.
Figure 78 – SA74-P Piezo Module, side view

The SA74-P is available as a 4 channel detector module. The detector is
manufactured in standard (100 x 162.5 mm) Eurocard format.
Piezo Sensitivity: The sensitivity of each channel may be set via the serial coms.

messages.

SL74-P Loop Module
SL74-P LOOP MODULE

The SL-74P are a low current four channel inductive loop module designed primarily
for traffic data monitoring applications, using the ÈURO card' printed circuit board
outline. The detector uses channel scanning techniques which permit freedom from
cross channel interference from the four channels within a detector. The detector
uses the patented MT detection technique which has also been used in the Peek
Traffic range of group 3, 5 and 7 detectors. One of the major advantages of the MT
detection technique is that the loop scanning period is consistent and substantially
independent of the loop inductance.
Figure 79 – SL74-P Loop Module, side view

The detector therefore has very good performance when parameters such as speed,
occupancy, and headway are being measured. Automatic tuning on `power up' or
reset allows detector operation in 2 seconds. Both power up and reset clear any
detect and fault outputs already set in the detector. Software controls allow each
channel sensitivity and Hysterisis to be adjusted while the detector is working,
although a change in a setting will cause the detector to reset. An individual channel
can be `switched off'. With a `channel off' the associated road loop will not be
energized. Particular features of the SL-74P are its low current requirement and
stable operation with full presence time capability. The detector has an asynchronous
communication port which allows an interrogating computer to read the detector
internal data.
Channel Frequency Settings

Each channel’s frequency is controlled by two of the eight dip switches. Channel 1 =
DIP switches 1 & 2. Channel 2 = DIP switches 3 & 4. Channel 3 = DIP switched 5 &
6. And Channel 4 by DIP switches 7 & 8.

By setting each of the pair of DIP switches to either ON or OFF, the frequency for
each loop can be set to one of the following configurations:

Glossary
Many terms are used commonly in traffic data collection. Unfortunately,

sometimes the same word is used to mean different things. This list contains
the terms we use, together with “our” definitions as used in this manual.
2 RT – A unit will be equipped with two individual inputs for pneumatic road
tube axle sensors
AC Adapter Charger – Step-down transformer used to charge the internal battery
of an ADR1000 or 2000.
ADR 1000 Plus – Self-Contained Lightweight Portable Traffic Counter / Classifier
expandable to support one additional sensor module.
ADR 2000 Plus – Self-Contained Portable Traffic Counter / Classifier expandable to
support three additional sensor modules.
ADR 3010 Plus – Permanent 10” wide Rack-based Traffic Counter / Classifier
which has the capability of supporting three sensors modules and two additional
smart modules.

ports available for the ADR3000 only, Supports comm. 2 and 3 with baud rates up to
115200.
Air Switch – Pneumatic Switch sensor used to sense the incoming air pressures
change from a road-tube.

Glossary
AO – Alarm Output can be used to trigger a relay or similar device, available only on
the ADR2000 and 3000.
Armed – Is displayed on the ADR display when the unit has a completed program
and is waiting for the next full interval to begin recording.
Array – When referring to an array, we mean a sensor, or group of sensors which
work together to determine information about the vehicles passing over them. An
array can span one or more Lanes, depending on array type, but are usually only one
lane per array. Each array will assign a Flow number to any vehicles detected upon it.
Some arrays, for example the single loop or single axle arrays, can only determine a
single Flow. Others, such as the Tube-and-a-half or two tube classification arrays can
determine more.
Axle Class – Axle Class is vehicle type classification based on the number and
spacing of axles on a vehicle. The most common reference for this is published as
Scheme “F”. See also Class or Classification
AxleLight – Is an infrared axle sensor for use with the ADR Plus traffic recorders.
The AxleLight allows users to perform traffic studies without venturing into or crossing
the roadway.
Bending Plates – Bending Plate WIM systems utilize plates with strain gauges
bonded to the underside. As a vehicle passes over the bending plate, the WIM
system analyses the strain measured by the strain gauges and calculates the
dynamic load. The static load is estimated using the measured dynamic load and
calibration parameters.
Bins – As used when saying “the number of speed bins. A bin can be thought of as a
container for information or data. Bins are established by defining their limits. An
example of a bin definition is contained in the following statement: “All of the cars
traveling at (or above) 30 miles per hour and less than 35 miles per hour are recorded
in this bin”. For any one study session the ADR can use up to 3,375 bins at once.
Studies are usually described by the number of bins utilized, i.e.: 15 classes x 4 lanes
is a total of 60 bins.
Channel – Channel is similar in use to the word “lane” or “array” but is less specific
and may have no physical reference. The data from one lane is normally collected via
one array and is then often stored in one channel. A channel has the capability of
either separating the data from one array or lane (by “flow” direction) or can combine
the data from a set of arrays into one total. See also: CHANNEL MAPPING and
SUMMATE CHANNELS.
Channel Mapping – The CHANNEL MAPPING setting causes the count of vehicles
to be stored in one or more “channels”. The CHANNEL MAPPING option has the
following settings (SEPARATED and FORWARD ONLY are not available for array
types that cannot determine a vehicle’s direction):
• COMBINED. This causes the count of vehicles from each array to be stored in a
channel. The count is incremented each time a vehicle passes the array, no matter in
which direction it is traveling. Channel 1 is for array 1, Channel 2 for array 2, etc.

Glossary
• SEPARATED (by direction). This causes the count of vehicles from each array to
be stored in two channels. Channel 1 will contain the count of vehicles that are
traveling in the forward direction across array 1. Vehicles that are traveling in the
reverse direction of array 1 will be contained in Channel 2. Note that if more arrays
are used, each subsequent array will have two channels associated with it. The
forward direction is defined as those vehicles that are traveling from the lead sensor
to the lag sensor.
• FORWARD ONLY. Vehicles traveling in the reverse direction are ignored. The
count is incremented each time a vehicle passes the array in the forward direction
only. Each array will have only one channel associated with it.
• USER DEFINED. This enables you to specify the number of channels to create (the
maximum, which is displayed on the screen, is dependent on the number of arrays
and the array type). Once you have specified the number of channels, you can assign
each array’s count of vehicles to a particular channel. The “+” forward direction is
defined as vehicles traveling from the lead sensor to the lag sensor. The “-“ reverse
direction is defined as vehicles traveling from the lag sensor to the lead sensor. Once
the channel assignments have been specified, the number of bins in the heading of
the record can be determined. The number of bins is dependent on whether NO or
YES is selected for the SUMMATE CHANNELS option, which is available for the
FORWARD ONLY and COMBINED options. If NO is selected, or the option is
SEPARATED or USER-DEFINED, the number of bins in heading 1, 2 or 3 is the
same as the number of channels. However, if YES is used, you can specify the
number of bins to use and the channel numbers to assign to each set of bins.
Class – In the ADR the word CLASS is used as a menu prompt for the classification
of vehicles according to a preset vehicle classification scheme. The defining criteria of
a scheme are called a ClassTree or Class table. The best known and most widely
used scheme in the world today is referred to as Scheme “F” which uses the number,
spacing and grouping of axles to assign each vehicle to one of thirteen definitions of
vehicle type. Scheme“F” is the default scheme in the ADR as supplied, with the
addition of a fourteenth “Other” type and a fifteenth category for “unclassified”. ADR
operators can and are encouraged to determine the best scheme for local operations
and install it in the ADR. This is a very powerful feature of the ADR and operators can
apply additional criteria such as length to fine tune their local scheme.
Class Tree: – A ClassTree is an advanced way of determining what type of vehicle
has crossed the ADR’s sensors. Unlike a simple lookup table, where there is a
rigorously defined set of parameters, a ClassTree is implemented as a series of “test
and branch” operations. This makes it possible to create custom classification
schemes that would be difficult, or impossible, for a lookup table. A ClassTree can
also be optimized so they require less system resources than the equivalent table.
Classification – The dictionary defines the act of classification as the assignment of
“things” to groups as determined by criteria. The ADR can assign vehicles to groups
(which are called “Bins”) based on a variety of criteria. The most commonly used
criteria are CLASS (see above definition), CHANNEL, SPEED, LENGTH (either
wheelbase or chassis), GAP, HEADWAY or GROSS WEIGHT. In setting up the ADR,

Glossary
operators can set the limits of the criteria to be used, for example in classification by
SPEED, operators can specify the number of “Speed Bins” and then can specify the
limits of each of the bins as 0 to 20 mph and 20 to 30 mph and so on.
Cold Boot – This operation allows a user to reset a recorder to its factory defaults
values.
Comm ID – Each ADR has the option of setting a Comm ID from 1 to 65534 this
option is used when several units are connected to the same communication device
and a user needs have only one unit a time to answer when a command is set to all
units.
Continuous File – Is a binned or PVR file which has one header that includes all
set-up information including the start date and time and will not include an end date
time until a user ends the current recording session. This recording session could
span several days, weeks or months depending on the amount of time a users desire
to allow the recorder to continue to recorder without stopping or ending the recording
session.
CPU Module – The ADR’s Central Processing Unit, Plus units are equipped with
2Mb. of onboard memory; non-Plus units are equipped with 256K of onboard
memory.

that includes all set-up information including the start and end date and time for each
day. These files will have a maximum of 24 hours of data from midnight to midnight or
until a user has stopped the ADR from recording data.
DB9 – Is a D style 9 pin connector used on the ADR3000 as a standard RS232
connector.
Debounce – Debounce value ensures that phantom signals in tubes or piezo
sensors are not regarded as axles. It is the time set to ignore any pulse after valid
axle detection. The range of possible values is from 1 to 998 msec. If the ADR is
undercounting, reduce the debounce time; if the ADR is over-counting, increase the
debounce time.
DST – Is the Daylight Saving Time adjustment, users have the option to allow the
ADR to automatically adjust for the new time.
Factory Default Settings – These settings are the default settings as defined by
the firmware which have been defined and set by Peek Traffic Corp. The default
value settings may be different from one version firmware to another.
Flash Upgradeable Firmware – This feature enables users to change versions of
ADR Firmware by using a simple Firmware Upload Utility which requires no
disassembly or hardware changes to the unit.

Glossary
Flow – When any vehicle crosses any sensor array, it is assigned a “flow” indicating
the vehicle passage. The assigned flow on single sensor arrays is a + (plus). Arrays
with two sensors in the same lane assign either a (+) plus or a (-) minus to a vehicle
passage as determined by the sequence of sensor activations. (i.e.: Travel from A to
B is assigned (+) flow and travel from B to A is assigned (-) flow. This is commonly
called direction of travel. The ADR also makes use of more complex sensor arrays,
such as the four roadtube array, which can also provide a lane assignment to a
vehicle passage. When monitoring the four roadtube array in the VEHICLE
MONITOR you will see (*) and (-) assigned to vehicles in the near lane, and in the far
lane vehicles will be assigned as (2+) or (2-). The ADR allows you to segregate (or
combine) vehicles into separate data “channels” and “bins” by flow assignment in
CHANNEL MAPPING.
Gap – Gap is the time (in seconds) between the trailing axle of the first vehicle and

Glossary
Length – Length is the total wheelbase length when measured by piezo or tube
sensors, or the overall length (chassis) when using loop sensors.
Load Cells – A load cell is a transducer that converts a load acting on it into an
analog electrical signal. This conversion is achieved by the physical deformation of
strain gages which are bonded into the load cell beam and wired into a wheatstone
bridge configuration. Load Cell WIM systems utilize load cells scales to detect axles
and weigh both the right and left side of the axle simultaneously. As a vehicle passes
over the scales, the system records the weights measured by the scale and obtains
an axle weight and gross weight.
