Sensys Networks, Inc. FlexAP AP240 Access Point
User Manual
FlexAP The Sensys Networks VDS240 Wireless Vehicle Detection System uses pavement-mounted magnetometer or MicroRadar® sensors to detect the presence and movement of vehicles and bicycles. The magnetometer and MicroRadar® sensors are wireless, transmitting their detection data in real-time via low-power radio technology to a nearby Sensys Networks access point that then relays the data to one or more local or remote traffic management controllers and systems. The Sensys Networks FlexAP is an intelligent device operating under the Linux operating system that maintains two-way wireless links to a vehicle detection system’s sensors and repeaters, establishes overall time synchronization, transmits configuration commands and message acknowledgements, and receives and processes data from the sensors. The FlexAP then relays the sensor detection data to a roadside traffic controller or remote server, traffic management system, or other vehicle detection application. The FlexAP is the second generation of Sensys Networks access points and replaces the AP240. The FlexAP includes a higher sensitivity radio for more robust wireless links and more processing and memory capacity for additional applications. The FlexAP is housed in a robust enclosure that provides excellent protection against the environment. Types of FlexAPs. A FlexAP uses a single cable to support 10/100Base-T Ethernet communications and, in some versions, serial communications to the contact closure card that furnishes the interface to standard traffic controllers.
