1 INTRODUCTION
Radar technology and streaming video for stop bar detection
Radar presence detection
VantageRadius™ is the newest sensor in the Iteris Vantage family that utilizes radar technology for vehicle
detection at the intersection stop bar. VantageRadius builds on the success of the Vantage Vector hybrid
detector offering a combination of radar and video designed specifically for stop bar detection at the
intersection.
Using radar and Iteris’ enhanced detection algorithms ensures that VantageRadius can accurately detect
vehicles and vehicle speeds as they approach the intersection, enabling the intersection to operate at its peak
efficiency. The system is built on the simple-to-use Vantage Next® platform and continues the Iteris tradition
of ease of installation and simple configuration.
Monitor your intersection with live video stream
Included with the VantageRadius sensor is a high resolution digital camera that streams live video back to a
central management location, providing agencies with the ability to monitor and take action on the operation
of their intersection. This video stream can also be used in place of other surveillance cameras to stream live
video to your traffic management center video wall and mobile applications from Iteris.

User Guide | Version E
1.1 Overview
A typical intersection setup will have four sensors, each connected to a Vantage Radius Processor module in
the traffic control cabinet. You use the Radius hosted user interface to draw detection zones. To define a
detection zone, you designate the four corners of a zone on the radar tracks and then setup the various zone
properties. You can define up to 32 detection zones per sensor.
The processor module analyzes the radar data to determine when a vehicle is present in a zone. Vehicle
detection information is passed to the traffic control equipment for real-time adaptive control. Video can also
be sent via various communication methods to be displayed and monitored at a traffic management center.
This User Guide will walk you through the setup and startup, of the Radius system. Please refer to the Radius
Installation Guide for full instructions of the various modules and setup instructions for the system.
If you have questions once you have completed the steps within this guide, refer to Section 6:

2 PROCESSOR CONFIGURATION
Vantage Radar Detection
The radar sensor used in the Radius system provides data for up to 64 vehicles. The data includes position,
speed and size. The Radius system processes this data and determines if one or more of the objects is inside a
detection zone. Based on the zones parameters an output may be sent to the traffic signal controller to indicate
the presence of an object.
Appropriate zone sizing rules should be observed. The best policy is to use the least number of zones possible
to obtain the desired operation and performance.
Zones should be placed on a lane by lane basis with a maximum of 8 placed side to side
Do not overlap zones from one movement to another. This may cause false detections for a movement and
result in inefficient operation at the intersection.
Ensure zones are drawn where vehicles are moving (within lanes) and also where they stop on a red phase.
Drawing them too far forward or backwards may result in missed calls as the vehicles may be outside the
detection area.
Iteris, Inc. | 8
User Guide | Version E
Zone Types
The "Type" option allows the user to specify the type of detection to be used for a particular zone. Several
types of detection are available and are defined below.
PRESENCE (PR) (Default) – places a call while a vehicle is in the zone. When the vehicle exits the zone the call
will be dropped.
EXTENSION (EXT) – places a call while a vehicle is in the zone, when the vehicle exits the zone the call is
extended for a user selectable length of time. Timing choices range from 1 to 250 in tenths of a second. For
example, a value of 50 is equal to five seconds of extension.
DELAY (DLY) – when a vehicle enters the zone area, the call is delayed for a user selectable length of time. Once
the delay time has expired the call will be placed. Once the vehicle leaves the zone the call will be dropped.
Timing choices range from 1 to 250 in tenths of a second. For example, a value of 50 is equal to five seconds of
delay.
PULSE (PUL) – when a vehicle enters the zone, a pulse is output for a user selectable length of time. The vehicle
must leave the zone and a new vehicle must enter before a new pulse will be generated. Timing choices range
from 1 to 250 in tenths of a second. For example, a value of three is equal to a 0.3 second pulse.
COUNT (CN) – when a vehicle passes through the count zone area, it is counted. The count data for that zone
is then stored in an internal processor bin. Bin interval length can be set from the Radius Setup Tool and this
tool or VantageLive! can be used to retrieve the stored count data.
• Channel Output (Ch / Out) is recommended to be set to "NONE".
• Draw the count zone using the same guidelines as you would for a normal detection zone. Counts are
stored in ‘bins’ the interval between bin storage is set in the Miscellaneous Menu.
• There are a maximum of eight out of the 32 zones that can be assigned as count zones (per sensor).
• The count data is retrieved from the Radius System by communicating through the Ethernet port using
Radius Setup Tool (RST) or automatically with VantageLive!.
NONE (NO) – when a vehicle enters the zone area a call will not be placed. This type can be useful in conjunction
with the GREEN INPUT (Grn/In) function.
COUNT SPEED OCCUPANCY (CSO) – These zones are similar to count zones. They collect extra data splitting the
count into small, medium and large vehicles and also estimating average speed and road occupancy per Bin
Interval.
BIKE – Some intersections have dedicated bike lanes. Some intersections are marked with shared line
pavement markings (or “sharrows”) where both vehicles and bikes share the same lane. Some intersections
have vehicle lanes only. To detect all possible bicyclists bike zones should be drawn wherever a bicyclist may
ride in the sensor field of view (dedicated, shared or vehicle lanes).
All Bike zones can be configured with an extension time. The extension places a call while the bike is in the
zone, when the bike exits the zone the call is extended for a user selectable length of time. Timing choices
range from 0 to 250 in tenths of a second. For example, a value of 50 is equal to five seconds of extension.
Note: Setting the time to zero disables the extension and the zone will operate like a standard bike
presence zone, ie, the output will only be active while the bike is in the zone.
Bike zones can have dual functionality providing both presence/extension calls and counting bicycles.

Property Description
Number The zone detail number is a processor generated reference number sequence from 1
through 32 for camera one, 33 through 64 for camera number two, 65 through 96 for
camera number three and 97 through 128 for camera number four.
Label The zone label, a user customizable zone identifier. Zone labels can be up to six characters
in length. To edit a Zone Label, click in the box and type the new name.
Direction The zone direction option can be set to a number of options.
ANY (Default) - This setting has the potential to detect vehicles from any direction.
DOWN - This setting enables "Wrong Way Vehicle Rejection". This function helps reject
vehicles entering the zone from directions other than down. The function primarily rejects
vehicles traveling "up", but can still be used in left turn lanes, for some degree of relief from
side street cars, that may stray into the front left turn detection zones while making a left
turn.
DOWN has three options Down Thru, Down Left Turn, Down Right Turn. By selecting one of
the three options the system will automatically begin counting vehicles and storing them in
bin data memory for use with the On Screen Graphs. See Section 4.3: Automatic Traffic
Volumes for more details.
Select the direction from the drop down box.
Input This function allows the Processor to utilize the NEMA TS-1 detector rack "delay inhibit" or
Channel green phase input lines from the controller, if they are available (332 cabinet input files do
not normally come wired with this capability). Using this feature the user can program a
Iteris, Inc. | 18
User Guide | Version E
Property Description
detection zone to respond differently depending on the delay inhibit line status. For
example, a zone could be programmed to Extend on Green and Delay on Red (not green).
To enable this feature left click on the "Grn/In" menu item. The menu options will expand
to include options for: Green (Grn), and Not Green (NGrn). "Grn/In" refers to the Processor
delay inhibit input channel. The choices are DP-x:1 through DP-x:4 and extension modules
could also be a choice if they are being used. Most NEMA TS-1 detector racks are only wired
for two delay inhibit pins per slot (pins 1 and 2). Choosing DP-x:1 would correspond with
delay inhibit pin 1 and DP-x:2 would correspond with delay inhibit pin 2. Choosing DP-x:3 ,
DP-x:4, or EM:03, or EM:04 would most likely have no effect, since they correlate with pin 3
and pin 10 respectively. There is normally no delay inhibit logic wired to these pins.
Output This function allows the user to assign an output channel to the zone. The output channel
Channel will place a call to the controller depending upon the position of the Processor in the
detector rack. Where you physically plug the Processor or Extension Module into the
detector rack, is where it will place the vehicle calls. Multiple zones can be assigned to a
single processor or extension module output channel.
Typical Channel Designators:

EM-0:1, EM-0:2
Four Channel
EM-1:1, EM-1:2, EM1:3, EM-1:4
IOM-32 Module

If using a TS-2 controller then 64 detector outputs are available through
the SDLC connection.
Note: For more information on output channels, see the Section 5: Output Channel
Assignment in the Next Installation Manual.
And With This function allows the user to "AND" zones together for special operation. Zones that are
AND'ed together will only place a vehicle call when there is a vehicle placing a call in both of
the zones simultaneously. If there is a vehicle in only one of the zones, a call will not be
placed. If normal operation is desired, be sure that the value of AND/W is set to the same
number as the zone detail number; this is the default setting.
CAUTION! The accidental setting of this parameter to a random value can result in
and undesirable operation. Be sure you understand the AND/W function before attem
it. If you do not intend to use AND/W operation, be sure that the AND/W value is set
value as the zone detail number.

present until the phase associated with the zone turns green. The zone will remain off until
another vehicle enters the zone and the cycle is repeated.
This function is similar to the controller latching an input.
Reject Call When using phase inputs it is possible to set each zone to drop the call in the event a rogue
object is present during a red to green phase transition. Objects that are moving will not be
affected and the calls will be placed normally.

Max Recall This parameter determines how the output channels will function. This is a global setting.
OFF - This is the default setting and is most commonly used during normal operation.
The "NORMAL" setting will allow the output channels to function in a "normal"
mode. When cars are present in the detection zone the output channel associated
with that zone will place a call to the traffic controller.
ON - The "MAXCALL" setting places constant calls on all output channels.
Inactive This setting determines how inactive (unused) channels will function. This is a global setting.
Channel NOCALL - This is the default setting and is most commonly used during normal
Status operation. The "NOCALL" setting will cause all unused channels not to place any calls.
CALL - If this setting is selected, then all unused channels will place constant calls.
Note: Output Channel and Inactive Channel are two settings that cause new users
problems when they are set to other than the default settings. If you are getting
constant calls on output channels, even after the learn mode, check the Output
Channel setting and make sure it is set to "NORMAL". If unused channels are
mysteriously placing constant calls, check the Inactive Channel setting and make sure
that it is set to "NOCALL".
Bin Interval A Bin Interval needs to be set to tell the system how often the counts should be stored. You
can select a bin interval of either: 10 or 20 seconds or 1, 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes. For example,
if you select five minutes, that means that every five minutes count data for all count zones
will be time-stamped and binned. The Next System will store this count information into local
memory.
Radar Global This setting allows the system to go into global constant call if the number of sensors selected
Constant Call are individually in constant call. This setting helps protect the operation of the intersection
Threshold when detection performance may be compromised by local conditions.
Accelerated This setting ignores the built in learning time of the system. This setting should only be used

This screen also displays the zone information for each Radius sensor connected to the system. Use this
information to ensure the zones have been configured correctly and that there are no conflicts with the
detector outputs.
Relative Direction Data
When a zone associated with a relative direction (Down Left Turn, Down Right Turn, Down Thru) detects a
vehicle, the associated arrow will light. The arrows can be found top left of the screen
Volume Data
The volume data graph can be found center left of the screen. It is a rolling24 hour graph in 15 minute bins of
left, right and thru volumes
Occupancy
The occupancy graph can be found in the center left of the screen. It is a rolling 24 hour graph in 15 minute
bins. The Processor calculates the active time for all zones against the total possible active time and calculates
the approximate occupancy for the approach.
The graph’s y-axis is fixed to 100%. The graph’s x-axis 24 hours. The occupancy line is in blue.
Speed
The speed graph is combined with the occupancy graph. The system will calculate the average speed of the
traffic during the bin interval. This is displayed on the graph as a red line.
Phase Information
If Phase Information is enabled the information will be displayed in the top right of the screen. For TS-2
applications Red, Yellow and Green information will be displayed. For other applications only the Green
information will be displayed.

i. The DP’s online LED will blink for a couple seconds during startup. This is normal. For a continuous
blinking see the steps below.
ii. Power cycle the DP’s to see if blinking goes away.
iii. Check the red dip switch on the board. All of the switches should be off or open.
iv. Make sure the reset line of the detector rack is not grounded (pin C).
v. If the blinking persists there is a problem with the processor and it needs to be sent in for repair.
Symptom B: DP’s has an output channel that is locked on.
i. Reset a zone that is associated with the stuck on channel.
ii. Delete all of the zones associated with that channel and redraw them.
iii. If none of these suggestions work the processor may have a shorted channel and needs to be sent in
for repair.
Symptom C: DP’s is locked up with constant calls and no RST response.
i. Power cycle unit and go to the utilities menu and do a bin reset and log reset.
ii. Upgrade DP’s to latest firmware version.
iii. If these steps fail to remedy the situation the DP’s maybe bad and needs to be sent in for repair.
Symptom D: DP’s has constant calls.
i. Under the Miscellaneous tab is the Max Recall set to “on”? If it is, set the output to “off”.

9 MAINTENANCE
The Vantage Detection System, once correctly installed, requires a minimal amount of maintenance.
Connector and Cable Inspection
Periodically, it is wise to check sensor cat-5 cable connections. Look for connector corrosion or moisture
damage. Replace any defective connectors. Cabinet cat-5 cable and connections can also be checked for
excessive wear or other defects. Repair or replace the defective cable or connectors as needed.
Camera Cleaning
Over time the video stream may become blurred. Cleaning the camera lens should resolve this issue. The use
of a soft cotton cloth (non-abrasive) and water is the recommended method for camera glass cleaning. Avoid
leaving streaks on the glass. Avoid anything that might scratch the glass, cloud the glass, or leave an undesirable
residue.
Firmware Upgrades
Approximately once a year, Iteris releases new firmware upgrades for its Vantage products. By using a program
called Radius Setup Tool (RST) you can update to the latest firmware into your Vantage product to add new
features and the latest performance enhancements. See the section on upgrades in this manual for more
detailed information.
