Subject: Traffic Detectors- Replacement and Surplus of Existing Units
Background Summary:
The City has utilized JAMAR Technologies traffic counting devices for conducting traffic studies
associated with traffic calming requests. The City purchased the traffic counters in 1998 and the devices
no longer function having reached the end of their service life. Public Works evaluated replacement
devices from other manufacturers; however, we are recommending purchasing replacement units from
JAMAR as they are offering trade in value on our existing units and we already have the updated
computer software for analyzing data collected from JAMAR devices. Public Works is requesting
Commission approval to surplus the existing JAMAR units with serial numbers 12835, 12836, 12837 and
12838 for trade in on the purchase of replacement units at a total cost of$4,842.00.
Issue:
Request the City Commission to approve the replacement of traffic counting devices used to conduct
traffic studies for traffic calming requests.
Recommendations
Recommend the City Commission declare surplus the City's existing JAMAR Technologies, Inc. (JTI),
traffic counting devices with serial numbers 12835, 12836, 12837 and 12838 and approve the trade in on
the purchase of four (4) replacement units from JTI in the amount of$4,842.00.
Attachments:
JAMAR Technologies, Inc. Quote.
Financial Impact:
The devices are adequately funded in the Streets Division.

J MAR
Technologies, Inc. Making Data Collection Easier
JAMAR TRAX Traffic Data Recorders...
...The Best Just Got Better
For over a decade, JAMAR has set the standard in pneumatic traffic recorders. Now we're raising the bar again by introducing the
all new TRAX Apollyon...the most advanced, yet simplest to use TRAX ever.
The cost effective Apollyon allows you to easily and accurately collect comprehensive time-stamped traffic data at multiple locations.
This data can then be processed with the powerful TRAXPro software to provide volume, speed, class, gap and more information
all from one data file.
Tight budgets and smaller staffs demand greater productivity.With only so many hours in a day, better equipment is one of the few
ways to get more done in less time. Justifying specific equipment depends on cost vs. payback in man-hours saved. Our TRAX
Apollyon provides an economical tool to increase productivity with a payback often in a matter of weeks.
Among the new time saving features of the Apollyon is the elimination of battery maintenance though the use of high-capacity lithium
batteries,which don't require charging or changing.These lightweight(yet long lasting) batteries make the Apollyon, at just 3 pounds,
the lightest traffic recorder of its kind.The Apollyon also has a built-in USB port for easy in-field flash memory download, as well as
a USB port for direct computer download back in the office.When you combine these features with the TRAX's exclusive on-board
tube testing capability and EZ Belt compatibility, you end up with the most accurate, yet easiest to use, traffic recorder available.
Virtually everyone who uses JAMAR TRAX data recorders prefer them over what they have used in the past.Our quality and reliability
are unequaled.
In short, you won't find a better solution to your traffic data collection needs.
New! • USB Interface - Retrieve Your Data with Ease
One of the most convenient new features of the TRAX Apollyon is the incorpo
ration of USB ports for retrieving data.Most older traffic counters use a serial
port for downloading data, but many new computers no longer come with a a= ' ;, JAMAR
serial port.This usually requires you to use an extra adapter to create a port
on the computer that you can use. 0 0 O
The USB download port of the TRAX Apollyon allows you to bypass this issue, :APOLLYON (J 0 01
by allowing you to connect to any of your computer's USB ports and download ® G 0
to the TRAXPro software.Also, since the USB port uses a standard format,
any USB cable you use to connect to a peripheral device (printer, scanner, ° — — 0 0 C
etc.)can be used to download the Apollyon. -
In addition to the download port,the Apollyon also has a USB port for flash '
memory,so now you don't even need to bring the counter back to the office to
get your data.Simply plug any standard flash drive into the Apollyon's port and r'
you are ready to walk away with your data in seconds.
New!• No Battery Charging— Long Life Lithiums
One of the best things about the new TRAX Apollyon is that it doesn't re-
quire routine battery maintenance.The recorder is powered by two internal
high-capacity lithium batteries.These batteries will typically last several years,
depending on use.
Use of these lithium batteries also means that you don't have to lug around
a heavy lead gel cell battery,like with most other traffic recorders.In fact,the
Apollyon weighs less than 3 pounds.
New! •Watertight,Crushproof Case
The Apollyon uses a watertight, crushproof polypropylene copolymer case
that makes it extremely durable,greatly reducing the potential for costly water
damage and downtime for repairs.
•The Power and Flexibility of Axle Time Stamping r:: - W --PLW Graph time-stamps
In storing its data, the Apollyon time-stamps every axle recorded during the .L.1...........■.I.....In.meiw"" for easy error checking

•On-Board Road Tube Diagnostics -
Identify problems BEFORE they occur -
Few things are more frustrating than spending time&money to do a traffic study .. _ .__
only to find out later the data is not usable because of road tube problems.With 1-----
`�J
high fuel costs and the time it takes to return to a location,reinstall equipment
and redo a count,the overall cost can easily reach hundreds of dollars for a
single count.
With a TRAX Apollyon,you can greatly reduce this possibility.TRAX Apollyon
data recorders use built-in diagnostics to analyze the strength of air pulses or%
that are received from road tubes.This information is then displayed on the
screen in an easy to understand format for your review.With this information
you can diagnose situations where a tube may be good enough to record data
for a few hours,but will fail long before the study is complete,enabling you to
reduce the need for recounts.
•The EZ Belt—Collect Data with a Tube Spacing of 4 Inches
The EZ Belt is a revolutionary new design for recording data with road tubes.The new EZ Belt 1. ' gel, 0#4. - ,
consists of two pneumatic tubes connected together at a 4 inch spacing by a thin layer of rubber. '.,, 1g y r i
Since the two tubes are manufactured at a set distance apart,there is no need for you to do any ,
measuring while in the field.Simply roll out the EZ Belt,tape it down and you're ready to record !R� '
highly accurate data for class,speed and more.Only JAMAR recorders like the Apollyon have the , , `
processing speed to effectively handle data this fast. ilk
The spacing between the two tubes is of critical importance when you are trying to record data on
more than one lane.The area between the two tubes is an error zone-if two vehicles are in that �'
zone at the same time you can get bad data.The shorter you can make the spacing,and thus the 4 Inch Spacing
error zone,the more accurate your data can be.
