The VIP/D combines traffic flow monitoring, traffic data collection and loop emulation all in one single board.

The user can easily specify several configuration and detection parameters. He can even decide on the amount of information to be displayed on the monitor.

All of these options are available via an extremely user-friendly, menu-driven set-up procedure using a VIP keypad or portable PC. The convenience of a remote set-up via the Ethernet communication module, VIEWCOM or the WATTS PC-software is also possible.

All alarms and flow data can be permanently monitored over a serial port.

Traffic data acquisition
The VIP/D provides all relevant traffic data such as:

• number of vehicles
• speed
• occupancy
• classification
• gap time
• headway

Flow monitoring
The VIP/D measures both the traffic flow speeds between 0 and 150 km/h for up to 8 lanes and the zone occupancy of the detection area. It automatically distinguishes 5 types of traffic flow (levels of service) based on flow speed and zone occupancy.

Within seconds, the VIP/D board detects wrong-way drivers or sudden speed variations.

Other applications are queue monitoring during road-works and calculating travel time based on flow information from the VIP detectors.

Loop emulation
VIP/D can emulate traditional double loop detectors for 4 lanes. In addition to the traffic data, it provides pulses similar to those provided by inductive loops.
