Introduction Installation Guide –TS Series 1-1 Doc ref: MAINT- 0110 Issue 1.2 1. Introduction 1.1 Scope The Navtech Clearway Automatic Incident Detection system provides an automatic monitoring solution for highways incident detection and traffic management. The Clearway system comprises a high frequency radar sensor, linked to a software system, witness. This guide provides instruction for the radar sensor installation ONLY. The installation of the witness application is covered separately in [2]. Service and Maintenance procedures are also covered separately in [3]. The instructions in this guide are applicable to the following Navtech radar sensors:  TS 350-X  TS 200-X Details are provided for all the hardware components required for the installation. 1.2 Essential Items The following are essential additional items that you need to install a radar sensor: (i) Electrical Power Electrical power (110 to 230vAC) sourced from, for example, local mains, petrol generator, Pure Sine wave DC to AC convertor,(powered by a vehicle). - 110 to 230vAC power is required for the Radar’s 24vDC PSU. - 110 to 230vAC power is also required for the Laptop Computer. Note: Radars are network intensive. Some laptops reduce the performance of their network connection when only running on their internal battery. (ii) A way of working safely at height Most radars are mounted at a height of 4 to 5m, so some form of equipment or machine is required. You will need one of the following: - Podium steps - MEWP (Mobile Elevated Work Platform) / Cherry Picker / Sky Lift (iii) Laptop computer The laptop must have: - RJ45 Ethernet connection. - 9 pin Com port or USB to RS232 adapter - Software – SPxRadarViewLite-V1.47.1 or higher - Serial communication software – e.g. HyperTerminal, TeraTerm, Putty.

Consider what Traffic Management (TM) is required to perform the installation safely. 3. Before going out to the roadside, power up the radar and connect the laptop that is going to be used, to check that you have both Ethernet and Serial communications. 1 Recommended Fisco Solatronic EN17
Radar Sensor Installation Guide –TS Series 2-1 Doc ref: MAINT- 0110 Issue 1.2 2. Radar sensor The Navtech radar sensor will detect slow or stationary vehicles, pedestrians and debris, for example, on roads or in tunnels, in a wide variety of weather conditions. It is designed to cover 360 degrees, and samples data at an angular resolution of approximately 0.4 degrees. The radar antenna is designed to have a narrow beamwidth in azimuth; in this way objects within the radar field of view can be accurately located on the road surface. So far as is possible the radar has a wide beam in elevation. This allows objects close to the radar and far away to remain in the sensor field of view, even when it is mounted high on a gantry. Typical radar used in road incident detection, will have an azimuth beamwidth of approx 2 degrees, and an elevation beamwidth of approx 40 degrees in the near field. The standard update rate for radar sensors is 120 rpm with a maximum detection distance of 500 meters radius. A signal return is produced and sent to the processing system every 0.25 meters from the sensor itself up to the maximum sensor range of 500 meters radius. This is repeated at each new azimuth angle as the antenna rotates. The system employs a frequency modulated sensor and so unlike Doppler systems, no movement is necessary to measure a vehicle, person or similar object within the radar line of sight.

Installing the hardware Installation Guide –TS Series 3-1 Doc ref: MAINT- 0110 Issue 1.2 3. Installing the Radar hardware 3.1 Overview This section details the installation process, which comprises the following steps: 1. Determine radar sensor locations 2. Mount radar 3. Connect radar sensor 4. Prepare laptop 5. Connect laptop 6. Level radar sensor 7. Install Navtech witness software 8. Confirm sensor coverage Note: The installation and configuration of the witness software is covered separately in [2]. CAUTION Before performing any installation task ensure you are aware of Health & Safety procedures. (See Section 4)
Installing the hardware Installation Guide –TS Series 3-2 Doc ref: MAINT- 0110 Issue 1.2 3.2 Radar sensor locations 3.2.1 Location Radar sensors must be positioned to provide the optimum ‘line of sight’. Some guidelines to check the ‘line of sight’ are given below. 1. As a minimum stand at ground level where the radar is going to be mounted and look in both directions up and down the road. Whatever you can and cannot see will be the same for the radar. 2. Ideally you need to have your eyes at the height the radar is going to be mounted. This may require the use of ladder, podium steps, MEWP (Mobile Elevated Work Platform) / Cherry Picker / Sky Lift etc. Once your eyes are the same level as the radar, look in both directions up and down the road. Whatever you can and cannot see will be the same for the radar. Be aware of any street furniture (for example, lamp posts) in the radar’s area of coverage. When looking down a line of lamp posts, the further away they are the closer together they appear. A line of lamp posts at a certain angle can create a ‘wall’ which neither a person nor a radar can see through. 3. To double check the ‘line of sight’ observed from a site visit, use Google Earth and the ruler tool. (See the yellow line in Figure 3 below). Place one end of the ruler tool where the radar is going to be located and move the end as if it were the radar beam. If there is a bend in the road, put the ruler tool on the apex of the corner to see how far the radar will see. Figure 3 Google Earth showing line of sight
Installing the hardware Installation Guide –TS Series 3-3 Doc ref: MAINT- 0110 Issue 1.2 In a straight line the radar can detect a person from 20m away to 350m away. If the person is closer than 20m they will be below the radar and further than 350m away, they are too small for the radar to detect. However, if the road curves, the radar cannot detect people, cars, etc. out of sight around the bend. This must be taken into account when calculating the number of radar required to provide complete coverage. Be aware that for slow or stopped vehicles, a stopped car that ultimately comes to rest directly beneath the radar will slow down well before this point. The slow vehicle alarm will be raised in this case. Reducing the radar mounting height can increase coverage close in to the radar. See [D2]. Figure 4 shows the radar mounted at 4m giving coverage to the ground of approximately16.25 m. Figure 4 Radar coverage (mounted at 4 metres) Refer 3.2.2 for typical installation mounting heights. Example Consider the positions of radar sensors used to provide coverage on a road. The position of the radar is determined by how straight or curved the road is either side of the mounting post/gantry and what affect the neighbouring street lights may have on the radar’s ‘line of sight’. When you have a line of street lights on a curve they can have the effect of creating a barrier the radar cannot see through. Moving the radar from one side to the other side of the central barrier can have a dramatic effect on improving the radar line of sight. In more extreme cases moving the radar to the roadside would be required. In this example, each radar has a possible four locations on, or near, a gantry on the road. See Figure 5 below. If the road has a shallow curve, radar Position A or B is selected. If the road has a pronounced curve, radar Position C is selected - where C is the outside of the curve. If the road is absolutely straight, the radar is mounted on a post (Position D). Having the radar on a post
Installing the hardware Installation Guide –TS Series 3-4 Doc ref: MAINT- 0110 Issue 1.2 located midway between the gantry and the closest street light reduces the occlusion caused by the both the gantry and the closest street light. Figure 5 Example radar sensor locations 3.2.2 Mounting height The sensors can be mounted at various heights between 2m and 8m depending on the application. Typical installation mounted heights:  For hard shoulder monitoring only – 2m above ground level  Coverage of multiple lanes – 4 to 5 m above road surface Some site layouts may require the sensor to be mounted at 8m.
Installing the hardware Installation Guide –TS Series 3-5 Doc ref: MAINT- 0110 Issue 1.2 3.2.3 Orientation When mounting a radar sensor on a road, the orientation is important. The orientation is the same for mounting the radar at the side of a road or in the centre of the road. Ensure the side of the sensor with the Serial Number Label, (or the side with the connectors) is running next to one of the lanes. Examples  On a road running North to South, the Serial Number Label would point either East or West.  On a road running East to West, the Serial Number Label would point either North or South. Note: Convention would have the Serial Number Label pointing North and the connectors pointing South. It’s not mandatory though.

Installing the hardware Installation Guide –TS Series 3-6 Doc ref: MAINT- 0110 Issue 1.2 3.3 Mounting radar sensor Radar sensors may be mounted on dedicated posts, or various other structures (e.g walls, roofs, gantries) using brackets. Sample posts and brackets are shown in Annex B. Radar sensors are fitted to a plate on top of the post, or on the bracket, using nuts and bolts, which allows you to adjust the tilt [See Figure 8 ]. Adjusting the tilt (levelling the sensor) ensures optimum detection performance and is detailed in Section 3.7. Figure 8 Mounting plate on post / bracket The sensor mounting plate (or bracket) design allows for a simple yet effective method to fine tune the incline of the sensor. For each of the mounting holes, the bolt is fed from underneath and locked onto the mounting plate with a nut. Two more nuts are used below the radar base plate and another is used above so that the sensor can be positioned anywhere up or down the bolt thread, as necessary. Figure 9 Levelling adjustment 1. Place the radar on the threaded studs of the plate. Bracket Post
Installing the hardware Installation Guide –TS Series 3-7 Doc ref: MAINT- 0110 Issue 1.2 3.4 Connecting radar sensor Each radar sensor requires a power and a data connection. Both are made using military specification connectors to ensure link integrity in the harshest environmental conditions. The power and data connections run from the sensor to a conveniently placed junction box (e.g.at the base of the post) where the power supply is situated. See Figure 10. Figure 10 Connections to radar sensor Supplied with each radar sensor are a power cable with a mil-spec connector for the sensor connection and a bare end at the junction box connection. A mil spec shroud is also supplied for use with a suitable environmentally protected Ethernet network connection. It is essential that the supplied shroud is correctly used to ensure that the data connection is water tight. IMPORTANT: Failure to correctly fit the shroud can invalidate the warranty on sensors that have been caused to fail through water ingress. 1. Attach 24vDC connection to the radar. Figure 11 Connecting radar sensor
Installing the hardware Installation Guide –TS Series 3-8 Doc ref: MAINT- 0110 Issue 1.2 2. Ensure the Power and Ethernet cables are securely connected into junction box. 3. Ensure the junction box has the Navtech supplied 24vDC power supply installed. (The power supply unit has a peak current capacity of 4 Amps, though typically the radar draws a continuous 1 Amp). See.[8]. 4. Ensure that the Power supply cabling is correctly terminated at the radar end with a secure Amphenol MIL spec connector. Pin D (Red or Brown) is 24vDC, Pin J (Blue or Black) is 0V. IMPORTANT: To prevent floating voltage levels on the low output of the radar sensor power supply unit, link the 0v output to earth. 5. Ensure the junction box has an Ethernet cable running to the infrastructure network switch. 3.5 Preparing the laptop IMPORTANT: Ensure that your laptop has its IP address set to operate within the same subnet as the radar sensor 3.5.1 Factory settings The IP address (e.g. 192.168.0.1) of the radar sensor is preset before leaving Navtech Radar Limited according to client specifications and will be declared on a label attached to the outer casing. The subnet mask of the radar sensor is often preset to 255.255.255.0 but could also be set wider (such as 255.255.0.0) if requested. Therefore, if the sensor IP address is 192.168.0.1 and the mask is 255.255.255.0, then your computer must use an IP address in the range: 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254. 3.5.2 Changing factory settings The IP address and subnet mask can be changed using firmware commands sent to the radar either via Telnet (see [5]), or using a serial connection (see [D3]). 3.6 Connecting your laptop 1. At the radar, connect the laptop via CAT5 cable to the radar. 2. Ensure that the radar sensor is powered on and is rotating - you can faintly hear the rotor when it is running. 3. Use SPx Radar View application [1] to display the radar data. (See Annex A )
Installing the hardware Installation Guide –TS Series 3-9 Doc ref: MAINT- 0110 Issue 1.2 3.7 Levelling radar sensor 3.7.1 Overview The radar antenna vertical beam is designed to be wide (in range), close in to the radar but it still narrows to approximately 2 degrees at long range. For optimum detection performance it is important that each sensor is level in relation to the area that it surveys. Level in this sense may not mean absolutely horizontal. For instance, if the site has a continual slope it may prove beneficial to incline the sensor in line with the slope to ensure that the targets are correctly tracked. See Figure 12. Figure 12 Levelling a radar sensor The exaggerated examples below show how a sensor with an incorrect incline could miss targets which are lower down the slope: Figure 13 Horizontal radar sensor misses target B Figure 14 Inclined radar sensor locates both targets

If there is more radar data one side than the other, as shown in Figure 15, change the angle of the radar until you have an equal amount of data either side of the radar, as shown in Figure 16. Radar
Installing the hardware Installation Guide –TS Series 3-11 Doc ref: MAINT- 0110 Issue 1.2 2. Watch a vehicle travelling from one side of the radar to the other. Is it dramatically brighter/giving a stronger return signal from one side to the other? If so, tilt the radar so a vehicle has equal brightness/signal return strength on both sides of the radar. 3.7.3 Use of Radar Target (Optional) This test is not possible if working on a live carriageway. 1. Check that the radar is level across the carriageway, then place a radar reflector on a tripod, in the centre of the carriageway, at 150m along road in each direction, (2 targets in total). Note: These two targets must be at the same height (suggested height 1.5 m), and the area behind the target should be clear for 10-15 m. 2. Place the Digital Level as indicated in Figure 17, ensuring the level is at right angles to the base of the radar. Figure 17 Digital Inclinometer mounted on radar sensor 3. Adjust the radar tilt of the radar on the threaded studs, to maximise the signal level on the 2 targets, using the gradient of the road around the radar as a starting point. Signal levels are determined from the SPx RadarVew software (See Annex A for detailed instruction).
Installing the hardware Installation Guide –TS Series 3-12 Doc ref: MAINT- 0110 Issue 1.2 Figure 18 Radar view to locate target 3.8 Securing the radar 1. Secure the radar on the mounting bracket, or post plate. To do this: lock off the two lower nuts on each stud by tightening one against the other. (This is to ensure that, if the radar is removed, the tilt angle is not changed) 2. Record the tilt angle from the digital inclinometer. See Annex E for a sample table. 3.9 Confirming sensor coverage 1. Install and configure the witness software as described in [2]. 2. Enter basic detection areas into Sentinel. (See [2]). 3. Perform a basic walk through tests of the radar and monitor the tracking performance along the carriageway, within radar line of site. See [4] for instruction on how to monitor the performance. 4. Perform a drive through test of this radar. Monitor the tracking performance along the carriageway, within radar line of site as this test is conducted.
Installing the hardware Installation Guide –TS Series 3-13 Doc ref: MAINT- 0110 Issue 1.2 5. During the drive through, record a radar dataset, should further detection zone alteration be required offline. During this procedure a vehicle should drive at between 20 and 30 kph from the maximum line of sight radar coverage ‘upstream’ of the normal traffic direction, to the maximum line of sight ‘downstream’ . Typically the overall coverage of a radar may be from 300 to 400 meters or more upstream, to 300 to 400 meters downstream. During the drive through the vehicle should stay in the same lane, and the lane number should be recorded against the dataset for future reference. See Figure 19 on the next page. 6. Refine the radar detection zones, based on the drive and walk through and save the settings. 7. Disconnect the laptop from the radar and connect the radar to the infrastructure network switch. 8. Repeat for each radar along the carriageway and verify coverage.
