I am very excited to introduce our latest sensor; the Houston Radar Crossfire! As you can see, this is a true side-fire device. It records traffic from a height, thus eliminating the concern for occlusion. This system is nothing less than revolutionary, as it provides a cost effective way to accurately survey high volume roadways. Preliminary tests are proving...

One of the many advantages of using radar to record traffic is its simplicity.  To illustrate how easy it is to install a Jamar radar recorder I have included a demonstration video. Jamar radar installation  

It is now the fall season. This is the time that many of us feel like falling down we are so busy. As The Appian Way staff are still standing, we have decided to expand our radar inventory. The Appian Way is now the proud owner of two Houston Radar Armadillos. The Armadillo is the tiny grey sensor strapped to the tree trunk in the centre of the photo. This unit...

Hello again everyone,   I’ve recently been conducting some tests of my new Jamar Radar Recorders, which I would like to share with you. The following studies include calibrations with tubes, loops, or manual counts.   The first study compares radar with piezo loops at the MOT Boston Bar count site.   The next example is of a classification study,...

Spring has sprung, and so have the tubes: As you may know, I am on a mission to rid ourselves of broken tubes. To this end I recently attended the IMSA Conference and Trade Show on May 27th and 28th, at the Kelowna Coast Capri.     What an eye opening experience!   This show included a wide variety of traffic recording equipment, including; video, radar,...

‘We guarantee to deliver the most accurate data possible, on time’. We understand that this data is used to shape our future communities: it must be accurate! We also understand that many people may be depending on this data: it must be on time! At The Appian Way, you can count on us to deliver! Our research indicates that this commitment to quality leads to...

Serving Vancouver and Victoria, as well as South and Central British Columbia. BC’s topography varies from region to region, as does its climate. Despite the challenges the terrain and climate impose, we will stop at nothing to get the job done!  ...

For automated studies we specialize in radar, using a variety of sensors which record up to SIX lanes of bi-directional traffic. For presence and speed, our CA Traffic Generation 1 Radar sensor is close to 100% accurate. Our Generation 2 Radar sensor, or Black Cat, is a highly accurate classifier. With a processor ten times faster than the Generation 1, this...

We conduct automated (ATR) and manual (TMC) traffic surveys for consultants, governments, and transit agencies. Automated studies include: Volume, Classification (in axle or vehicle length), and Speed. We specialize in the use of advanced technologies, such as radar and video.
