How to Choose the Right PMX TCR Kit
The PMX TCR is a versatile radar object counter that can be used for a variety of applications. To ensure you select the right kit for your needs, consider the following:
1. What do you want to count?
- Pedestrians only: The basic PMX Firmware with speed class 0 is sufficient. For bi-directional counting, choose the LS license.
- Pedestrians and bicycles: The LS license is required for separate counting. It allows grouping of objects by length and speed up to 30 km/h. The "Slow Traffic and Pedestrians Kit" comes with the LS license pre-installed.
- Smart City applications: For complex traffic scenarios with diverse objects like cars, buses, and trucks, the PRO license offers full flexibility. It enables simultaneous counting and categorization of objects into up to 4 groups, including oversized vehicles, using the advanced MBR algorithm.
2. What are your connectivity requirements?
- LoRaWAN: The PMX TCR supports LoRaWAN 1.1 for long-range, low-power communication. Choose a kit with the appropriate LoRaWAN region for your location.
- Power source: Consider a solar-powered kit for autonomous operation in areas with sufficient sunlight. Battery backup ensures continued operation in low-light conditions.
3. Do you need additional features?
- Object categorization: The PMX Firmware offers advanced object categorization features to group objects by size and speed.
- IoT platform integration: Ensure the chosen kit is compatible with your preferred IoT platform for seamless data integration and analysis.
4. Do you have existing Parametric TCR devices?
- Upgrade your older devices: Enhance the lifespan and value of your existing Parametric TCR counters (Gen 1 & 2) and PCR2 devices with the latest model-based PMX Firmware. This upgrade significantly improves accuracy and efficiency, bringing their performance to the level of the new PMX TCR.
By considering these factors, you can choose the PMX TCR kit that best meets your specific needs and ensures optimal performance for your application.
