AGD’s new radar delivers multi-lane monitoring

June 16, 2015

AGD’s new multi-lane monitoring radar, the 342MM, is an FMCW radar measuring the number and speed, range and length of passing vehicles for traffic profiling and incident detection. According to AGD, the radar monitors multi-lane highways at 195 frames per second, allowing it to process up to ten times more data per vehicle than some other units, providing greater count, speed and length accuracy. The high frame rate is said to reduce the effects of occlusion from central reserve concrete barriers and other
