After doing a detailed analysis of Peek’s
AxleLight® non-intrusive
laser axle sensors last year, the Iowa Department of
Transportation has selected the Peek product to be installed in a
permanent site along Interstate 35/80 in Des Moines. This is the
first time that the AxleLight sensors, normally designed as a
temporary study tool, have been installed in permanent roadside cabinets. AxleLight sensors shoot a
beam of non-visible laser light across the roadway, just a few inches above the pavement. Using these
sensors, and the ADR family of Automatic Data Recorders from Peek Traffic, state and municipal
governments can count, classify, and analyze traffic flow.
