Guía práctica para el uso del equipo Roadpod VT4 5904 para el estudio de tráfico automatizado, utilizando el equipo con software de Metrocount Traffic Survey Equipment, en el área de Ingeniería Civil de la Universidad Politécnica Salesiana

Abstract

Our degree project focuses on developing a detailed guide for the use of the RoadPod VT4 5904 equipment in automated traffic studies. This device is essential for the accurate collection of traffic data, providing crucial information for urban planning, and also for traffic management and transportation research. The developed manual covers all aspects necessary for the efficient handling of the MetroCount VT4 5904, from initial installation to daily operation and preventive maintenance. Procedures for configuring the equipment in the field are described, ensuring accurate and reliable measurements. Additionally, step-by-step instructions are provided on using the associated software for viewing, analyzing and exporting the collected data. It is expected to provide students and faculty with a detailed and practical guide to the use of the RoadPod VT4 5904 equipment, in order to facilitate automated studies of vehicular traffic. It is intended that users can understand and efficiently operate the MetroCount Traffic Survey Equipment equipment and software. The practical guide has been developed simultaneously, reviewing the technical documentation of the RoadPod VT4 5904 equipment and the MetroCount Traffic Survey Equipment software, and incorporating an analysis of existing guides and manuals to understand the structure and necessary content.
