viasis 3003 user manual via traffic controlling gmbh 1 The concept of visual speed indication The visual speed indication and thereby the attempt to influence the driver's speed is quite a new field in the common road and traffic technology, although the well known traffic lights are established since decades. Nowadays public authorities start to install luminary speed indication signs above highways for the same purpose and additionally to manage the traffic flow. Besides avoiding traffic jams, these systems also shall decrease the drivers speed in order to reduce the rate of accidents and the heaviness of their consequences. Our system ...

viasis 3003 user manual via traffic controlling gmbh 5 Start-up with the viasis 5.1 Mounting and Fixation The viasis must be mounted orthogonal to the road and stable in a height of 2 meters till 4 meters below the housing edge, see . First mount the system and finally insert the battery. Illustration 1: Vertical orientation Following items must be observed: � Another mounting height or a strong inclination of the housing (exceeding 90° ± 8°) may influence the distance range of the vehicle detection and the accuracy of the displayed speed values. � The radar detector in the viasis needs „free sight“ on the measured vehicles. Av ...

viasis 3003 user manual via traffic controlling gmbh 5.2 Horizontal orientation Direct the system horizontally through turning the system board around the mounting pole. The ideal orientation to reach a maximum distance range depends on the local circumstances. Illustration 2: viasis display directed to the road with a measurement angle � = 5° For the first the system should be straightened parallel the roadway and can be turned until a measurement angle � of 5� to the lane (see illustration 2) until the vehicles are detected from the unit at the maximum distance range. If leaving traffic reduces the distance range remarkably, the ...

viasis 3003 user manual via traffic controlling gmbh 5.2.2 Crossing traffic Diagonal crossing traffic passing the radar beam can lead to a disturbing speed value display. By following measures you can reduce the detection distance range of the radar: � Decline the viasis housing vertically (see illustration 1) up to 8° towards ground. � Reduce the sensitivity of the radar receiver, see also chapter 6.3.7. If both measures show no satisfying results there is nothing to do as to get away from the crossing traffic. 5.3 Viasis MINI text panel During the mounting the fixed text of the viasis MINI is folded in the visible upright position ...
