The ADR can also use optional temperature probe inputs for automatic calculation of weight compensation factors There is no established standard for the placement of the temperature sensing probe They are most often placed near the end of and in the same installation slot as a primary piezo sensor They should not be placed under the piezo sensor or cable In this document temperature probes are not shown in the ADR WIM arrays to avoid clutter in the diagrams 91 WIM Arrays Loop WIM Loop Array Loop WIM Loop Array The data that can be collected from this array is Gross Vehicle Weight Axle Weight Group Weight KIPS and SPEED CLASS LENGTH chassis VOLUME HEADWAY 3 4 GAP or Direction by Lane or a combination of these This array type can provide slightly less accurate weight data than the WIM WIM array but can discriminate between vehicles more accurately Very comparable to the WIM Loop 1 2 WIM array the Loop WIM Loop array can usually be installed at a lower cost The diagram shows two Loop WIM Loop arrays one in each of two lanes Using this array the ADR measures each axle weight only once in passage It is recommended that the piezo sensors be installed so as to assure both wheels on an axle hit the WIM sensors equally In a 12 foot wide lane this might be achieved by using an 11 foot long piezos installed as shown in the diagram The space between the adjacent lane piezos should be no

The data that can be collected from this array is VOLUME HEADWAY or GAP by lane channel Two short long tube arrays can be used together on a divided highway as shown in the diagram to record the volume of traffic in each lane in separate channels The first short tube is connected to the ADR on roadtube input nipple number 1 the first long tube to number 2 The second short tube is connected to the ADR on roadtube input nipple number 3 and the second long tube is connected to roadtube input number 4 Note It is important to have the same length of hose 20 feet from the near edge of the road to the ADR for each hose in a pair HI EIE 83 Roadtube Arrays 84 Directional Tube Count Array 1 foot spacing The data that can be collected from this array is VOLUME HEADWAY or GAP by direction channel The directional tube array enables the total volume of traffic passing the array to be determined by direction Note It is important to have the same length of hose from the near edge of the road to the ADR for each hose in a pair At least 20 feet is recommended Both tubes should also be of equal total length to maintain accuracy As with the previous arrays the ADR can be set up with two of these arrays in operation at the same time with data separated by direction across the tubes not by lane Two Tube Class by Direction Array 8 or 16 foot spacing The data that can be collected from this array is SPEED C

The two smaller loops enable vehicles that cross or straddle lanes to be detected Combined Sensor Arrays Chapter 15 Combined Sensor Arrays Combined sensor arrays are used to take advantage of the strengths of each sensor and provide improved accuracy of data Many combinations are available beyond the descriptions provided here These are the most common high accuracy combined sensor arrays in use today Axle Loop Axle Array The data that can be collected from this array is SPEED CLASS LENGTH chassis VOLUME HEADWAY GAP or Direction by Lane or a combination of these This array has proven to provide the highest accuracy of those shown as standard in this document The axle loop axle array calculates the same data as the two piezo array and uses the loop to improve classification accuracy in situations where tailgating is a problem The diagram shows two axle loop axle also known as Piezo Loop Piezo or P L P arrays one in each of two lanes Using this array the ADR can measure speed very accurately and can then determine classification by axle spacing and wheelbase It is recommended that the piezo sensors be installed so as to only have wheels on one side of the vehicles hit the piezos In a 12 foot wide lane this might be achieved by using 7 foot long piezos installed on the right side of the lane as shown in the diagram The space between the adjacent lane piezos would ideally be more than the maximum expected width
