The South Dakota Department of Transportation performs traffic counts at 52 permanent sites throughout the state. Currently, inductive loops imbedded in the pavement are being used to perform these counts. The problem is that the loops are prone to being destroyed when maintenance is performed on the roadways. Therefore, it was decided that other options for the traffic counting needed to be explored. A non-intrusive system was chosen to be tested for traffic counting. The Remote Traffic Microwave Sensor (RTMS) manufactured by Electronic Integrated Systems Inc. (EIS) was selected because it is placed above the roadway and because of its performance in similar applications. The RTMS was tested for its ability to accurately count traffic, and it was compared to the inductive loops for its cost effectiveness.
