RoadPod® VT
Vehicle Tube Counter & Classifier
Building on the success of the universal MC5600 Vehicle Counter System, we bring you the latest generation of portable traffic counters, the RoadPod® VT Vehicle Tube Counter. With massively improved memory, battery life, and data download speed, this system is the state of the art in traffic monitoring.
Applications
Year-round Access to Data
With remote tube data collection sites at key park locations, Parks Victoria has access to traffic data when they need it. Remote access has reduced costs and streamlined the flow of data through the organisation.
Targeted Law Enforcement
'If there is a site where crashes occur constantly, then traffic counters are certainly more cost-effective than wasting police manpower." - Lt. Michael Katsoudas of the Hillside P.D. (New Jersey)
Transport Model Calibration
Researchers used MetroCount pneumatic tube systems to apply real traffic data to the calibration and validation of transport models. The data recorded provided benchmarking for the researchers in Romania.The 7th Generation Tube Counter
Combining over 20 years of development, the RoadPod®VT represents a huge leap forward for portable traffic counters. Storing up to 4 times more axles, with data downloading 6 times faster, and a power efficient battery that lasts 5 times longer*, the RoadPod®VT saves time and money without compromising the reliability that MetroCount has become known for.
*When compared to the performance of the MC5600 Series.
