TDC Ultra User’s Manual
10-4
If you do want to classify vehicles while recording the speeds, rather than
just pressing the number 8 key when the vehicle crosses the end line you
can press any of the 1 through 13 keys to classify it. When the data is pro-
cessed you will see several columns of speed data, each corresponding to
one of the keys you used to classify the vehicles. The number of class used
can be anywhere from 1 to 13.
How to do a Spot Speed Study
The first task to perform is to choose the start and end lines. These usu-
ally are cracks or marks in the road that are clearly visible and roughly
perpendicular to the road. Objects on the side of the road can be used for
the end line, but should not be used for the start line. If necessary, you can
use a piece of chalk to define the lines. The lines can be anywhere from
100 to 250 feet apart. Measure the distance as accurately as possible, then
position yourself on the side of the road, exactly even with the end line, as
shown in the diagram below.
When you are in a good position, select Count from the Main Menu, then
select New and then select SS.
You are then prompted to select a site code type and assign a site code.
Refer to page 2-5 for information on selecting a site code.
Enter Distance
Once you have entered the site
code you will be prompted to
enter the distance between the
start and end lines. You must
enter a distance less than 256
feet or you will get an error message. Use the #10 key for zero, as in
other screens in the TDC Ultra.
