Radar Attachment and Data Logging

Our doppler radar provides real-time speed information which can be displayed on our variable message signs. The data logger collects and stores average speed of vehicles approaching (directional). All data can be downloaded via USB stick or remotely through our JamLogic software.

How does it work?

The radar enables a pre-set message to be displayed on the Mobile VMS as normal. When the pre-set speed limit is exceeded, the radar will then trigger a warning message to the motoring public. The data logging function works in conjunction with this, collecting statistics on vehicle speed which is then generated into a graph and Excel format. The data logger option also enables collection of average speeds of vehicles approaching (directional). This graph can be produced periodically i.e. hourly, daily, weekly etc.  The data can be downloaded via a USB stick at the trailer or remotely through JamLogic (modem option required).

Integrates with our VMS

Radar data recording captures detailed information about vehicle movements using Doppler radar technology, allowing operators to monitor traffic flow with accuracy and consistency. These systems track metrics such as vehicle speed, volume, direction of travel and time of day, creating a reliable dataset that can be used to identify speeding hotspots, congestion patterns and high-risk areas. Because radar records vehicles without needing ANPR or camera footage, it provides valuable insight while maintaining privacy and simplifying deployment

The data collected can be analysed to support enforcement, planning and long-term traffic management. Local authorities, highways teams and construction firms often use radar data recording to assess the effectiveness of traffic calming measures, evaluate compliance with temporary speed limits and plan future interventions based on real evidence. Coupled with portable units such as mobile SIDs or VMS equipment, radar data recording becomes a powerful tool for shaping safer, more efficient road environments.
