Details

The Pulsar stores traffic data as time-stamped "events" in a state-of-the-art, rugged, small and lightweight electronic module. Pulsar Reporter software uses the data collected by the Pulsar to produce a variety of traffic studies including volume, axle based classification and speed.

 

Pulsar is the latest, portable traffic data recorder from Oriux, the industry leader for decades. The Oriux pedigree ensures that Pulsar will provide years of reliable, highly accurate performance. Pulsar reliability is achieved by combining a rugged, lightweight, single piece, aluminum housing with encapsulated electronics and lithium battery.


The advanced electronics, combined with an extremely refined data processing algorithm, enable study accuracy comparable to the Oriux ADR1000, the "workhorse" of the traffic industry.


Whether you need a small, lightweight option for producing accurate vehicle classification and speed studies, or you are looking for an alternative to the limited capabilities of simple tally accumulators, Pulsar is your solution.
