Reliable RTMS Traffic Radar Sensors Support

RTMS Traffic Radar Sensors are radar-based vehicle detection devices used at intersections, arterials, and freeway applications. They detect vehicle presence, movement, or approach activity without requiring pavement cuts. Agencies use radar detection to support signal calls, improve reliability, reduce loop maintenance, and gather more consistent traffic data across challenging roadway environments.

Radar sensors help controllers receive dependable vehicle detection inputs, which supports better phase service, reduced missed calls, and more efficient corridor operation. Unlike in-pavement loops, radar equipment can often be installed above ground, reducing lane closures and pavement disturbance. Proper placement, alignment, and calibration are critical to achieving accurate detection across each approach.

Yes. Traffic Control Corporation provides product selection and application assistance for agencies, consultants, and contractors. The team helps match detection equipment to intersection geometry, cabinet compatibility, project specifications, and existing infrastructure. This is especially useful when older cabinets, legacy systems, or multi-manufacturer specifications must be considered before procurement or bid release.

Yes. Field turn-on support includes aligning sensors to approach lanes, configuring detection zones, verifying that calls reach the controller correctly, and confirming expected operation by phase. Technicians review the cabinet interface and detection outputs before the intersection or corridor is released for agency use, helping prevent silent detection failures after installation.

Detection systems should be audited on a planned maintenance schedule and after roadway changes, cabinet work, major construction, or recurring complaints. During an audit, technicians look for misaligned radar, drifting detection zones, failed inputs, communications issues, and data quality problems. Regular checks help agencies correct performance issues before congestion or missed calls become obvious.

Traffic Control Corporation offers bench-level repair for failed detection hardware, including radar units, video processors, cameras, and loop amplifiers. Equipment is diagnosed, repaired or component-swapped where appropriate, recalibrated, and functionally verified against expected detection output. Repair can extend the service life of installed assets and reduce replacement costs for large inventories.

Support is typically used by state and local transportation agencies, Departments of Transportation, municipal signal teams, county transportation departments, local contractors, and consulting service providers. These groups rely on accurate detection for intersection operations, corridor timing, freeway monitoring, and maintenance planning across networks where downtime or poor detection can create operational problems quickly.

Traffic Control Corporation supports customers across an eleven-state Midwest territory, including Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. The company operates from Woodridge, Illinois, with regional branch locations in Indiana, Missouri, Minnesota, and Iowa to support agencies and contractors throughout the region.
