11. Summarize The product consists of ITS vehicle detector (below called detector), ITS signal receiver (below called receiver), Yagi antenna (below called antenna), and feeder line. Detector (VDT-300/t) is a magnetic sensor that detects the impact of vehicles on the Earth’s magnetic field by the digital magnetic sensor to judge the vehicle passage situation in the driveway. This device can accurately sense the vehicle information in the real time, and send the collected information to the supporting receiver (VDT-300/r) via Internet of Things. This process is to complete the front-end information collection and transmission of intelligent light control, and then the receive host transmits the related information to signal controller. The signal controller use the received traffic information to analyze the share of the current lane, and smart distributes the opening and closing time of the lights.

95. Installation guide 5.1 Install detector Firstly, close the driveway that will be installed (the proper safety precautions with the traffic police). And then select an appropriate location (as Figure13 and Figure14) to drill a round hole that is slightly larger than 130mm depth and 108mm diameter (Standard aperture drill) (as Figure15). Figure13 Drill holes Figure14 Drill holes Figure15 The drawing of drilling a hole
10Secondly, mix thoroughly with a proportion of cement, sand and water, and then fill in the drilled hole. Put the working detector that has recorded the number of the driveway with the installed detector into the hole，and press it down firmly. If it is necessary, we can use a rubber hammer to gently tap the detector surface cover, and finally keep the detector surface cover and the ground in the same level. Figure16 Installation Figure17 Sketch map
11Thirdly, the effect after the installation is shown in Figure18. Figure18 The effect after installation Finally, after the installation, clean the surface and evacuate to make the normal passage of vehicles.
125.2 Install antenna Recommend establishing 5m-height steel, which is next to the signal control cabinet (as the Figure20 (B)). The antenna is mounted on the top tube (as the Figure20 (C))，and the feeder is connected to the receiver feeder port of the signal control cabinet. Adjust the antenna position, and aim the radiation direction at the installation position of detector. Please do the lightning protection. Figure20 The sketch map of antenna installation
13 Figure21 The effect of antenna installation
145.3 Install receiver The receiver is installed in signal control cabinet (as Figure22), and connects the electrical power. No.1 to 24 of the LED should flash simultaneously, and the period is 2 seconds, in which 0.5 seconds is close state, 1.5 seconds is open state. Figure22 Receiver position The receiver starts within one minute, in which the indicator corresponding to the installed detector’s number should be at the steadily open state. If the detector’s number is No.1, the D1 indicator on the receiver is always light. The indicator corresponding to the uninstalled detector is at the flash state. Each receiver can access of 24 detectors (extendable).
156. Connection The connection between the receiver and system is shown in Figure23. Figure23 The wiring diagram for the receiver and signal control machine （1）After completing the Yagi antenna setting, connect the feeder interface with the antenna interface that is on the back of the receiver. （2）The power adapter is inserted into the power adapter interface on the back of the receiver. （3）The serial port for communication is used to debug time and test the computer output data.
16（4）The wiring terminal is used to output the road information to the signal controller. There are 24 wiring terminals on the back of receiver, in which D1 to D24 interface are corresponding to 24 detectors, and GND and VCC are corresponding to ground and power. In the wiring time, it need to connect GND to the signal ground terminal, and then followed by the number to connect the detection signal output terminal to the signal input terminal that corresponds to the detector located driveway within signal controller. If the No.1 detector is laid in the east to west left turn lanes, it will connect the D1 interface to the signal input terminal that corresponds to the east to west left turn lanes within the signal machine.
177. Debug After finishing all installation and layout for detectors, withdraw all roadblocks facilities and keep all driveway normal traffic. Observing the indicator that corresponds to the installed detector’s number in the receiver and debugging it. The debugging work will include the following aspects. 7.1 Wireless transmission Detector reports the road information to receiver through wireless network sensing. Therefore, the first thing is to check if the wireless transmission is normal. We assume there already has installed and laid 12 vehicle detectors (numbered 01 to 12), the D1 to D12 indicators on the receiver should be in the steady light state (the detector is still in the adaptive background adjustment process) or present the flash process with the passing of vehicles (the adaptive background adjustment process is completed). The other D13 to D24 indicators should be flashing with the same frequency. This period is 2 seconds, in which 0.5 seconds is close state, 1.5 seconds is open state. If it has occurred above periodic flashing between D1 and D12 indicators, it shows that the wireless transmission is blocked between the detector corresponding to this number and receiver. If appearing the case of transmission blocked, firstly check if this detector has been covered by the cement, and secondly check the antenna radiation angle to ensure that all detectors are within the scope of the antenna radiation. 7.2 Self-adaption background control （1）Because the three-dimensional magnetic coefficients of earth every place are not the same, the detector has been filled adaptive background adjustment algorithm to ensure that the detector can be applied around the world. The configuration is without any artificial operation, and the detector can be done to adjust and learn the
18adaptive background within 10 minutes after the layout. After that, it will normally work. （2）Observing the D1 to D12 indicators, if the indicator is at steadily open state, it means that the detector corresponding to the number is still in the adaptive background adjustment process. If the indicator presents the flash process with the passing of vehicles, it shows that the detector corresponding to the number has finished the adaptive background adjustment and starts the normal work. 7.3 Signal output There has the wiring terminal for signal output on the back of receiver. The test result is reported by the unit 1 to 24 terminal with 12V switch output: low electrical level is effective, it means there will output low electrical level (0V) when there has a car and output high electrical level (2V) when there does not have a car. When the No.1 detector has detected a car, the D1 indicator in receiver frontage lights, and No.1 wiring terminal on the back of the receiver outputs low electrical level (0V). When the No.2 detector does not detect a car, the D2 indicator in receiver frontage is off, and No.2 wiring terminal on the back of the receiver outputs high electrical level (12V).
