Item 3 , the "Smart Trailer" speed indicator.
I have contacted Becky Schwartz of Kustom Signals , Inc . that makes
the radar speed indicator you referred to . The trailer is battery
operated with a solar power recharging system which would allow it
to run day or night . The system actually does more then register
speed of oncoming vehicles if certain options are purchased with
it . There is an on-board computer system that prints out a traffic
report that would include a vehicle count , speed c..art , information
as to the most active hours and target times for the most speeding
violations : ,
With all the options , the cost is $15 ,065 . It appears the options
are necessary (tamper alarm, wheel locks , etc . ) see attached
information sheets .
As I stated before, with the good, comes the bad. . . when left
unattended, there are those who would use it for target practice
from moving vehicles; those who would use it to see how high they
can get it to register. The machine would have to be calibrated
constantly to avoid a conflict in court with our radar devices used
to write citations with. The argument would come up that they just
went by the machine and it registered a different speed than the
officer clocked them at .
While this machine is a, good public relations instrument and the
good would outweigh the bad, $15 ,000 is lot for P.R.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Chief Carl Roderick
FROM: Lt . Stephen Allison
SUBJECT: Traffic Counter
DATE: June 15, 1994
I have reviewed the literature from Nu-Metrics reference the
traffic survey device that I mentioned at the last Public Safety
Committee meeting.
The NC-30X Countcard, slightly larger than a credit card, fits
inside a rubber mounting ramp which is placed in the center of a
traffic lane . The rubber mat sticks to dry roads and is secured
with nails for wet weather use . The Countcard is directional so
one is needed for each traffic lane to be surveyed .
The Countcard will collect data for specified time periods
regarding vehicle volume, relative average speed during the time
period, and percentage of trucks using the road during the time
interval . , The data can be retrieved manually from the card but
the preferable way is with a computer interface and software
designed to print reports and histograms from the collected data.
Prices are as follows :
NC-30X Countcard $295. 00
operation manual
installation ramp
installation mats
lithium battery
CIP-30 Computer Interface Adapter $195.00
cables and adapters to
interface with any computer
CDM-20/30 $250.00
Imports data from countcard
for reports and histograms .
Will export data to most
spreadsheet software.
This company manufactures traffic counters and analyzers from the
basic "hose across the road" to sophisticated units that are
permanently installed in the roadway with telemetry devices for
collecting data. The prices for the equipment and software go up
exponentially with the added features .
