          Real-time, non-intrusive counter & classifier



          Traffic data in real time

           The RoadPod  VM            Each RoadPod VM works in
          magnetometers are small,   an array of units to accurately
          unobtrusive vehicle counters   count vehicles, monitor
          and classifiers that provide   speeds and classify vehicle
          real-time data on traffic   type based on the length of
          movements.                 each passing vehicle.


                                                    The RoadPod VM Gateway
                                                     is solar charged & sits in a
                                                waterproof cabinet by the roadside,
                                                transmitting raw data to the Cloud.




          Extremely fast sensor installation

           The RoadPod VM was        RoadPod VM onto the top
          designed to be the simplest   side of the pad.
          and fastest traffic sensor   This method allows
          to install on sealed roads   installation to occur with little
          or cycleways. Simply apply   to no traffic management and
          a butyl pad to the road    ensures the longevity of each
          surface, heat and place the   RoadPod VM on the road.
