cursor to the desired lane. When the arrow changes to a hand, click and the

selected lane will disappear.

Construct and Remove Roads

To insert a new road, click on the Construct Roads buon and select a location

anywhere in the background (khaki-colored) area. Make sure the cursor appears

as a hand and then click to draw the road.

Because new roads are initially drawn with an upper shoulder line, a centerline

and a lower shoulder line, you will usually need to adjust your road to the

desired width using the Adjust Lanes function.

To remove an entire road, including all lanes, click on the Remove Roads buon

and click on the road you wish to remove.

Construct and Remove Barriers

Constructing a barrier or median is essentially the act of dividing a single road

into two separate roads. SmartSensor Manager denes a barrier or median as

two adjacent shoulder lines or two shoulder lines with only background (khaki-

colored) areas in between them.

To construct a barrier or median, click on the Construct Barriers buon and

move the cursor to the paved area where you want to insert the barrier. When

the cursor changes from an arrow to a hand, click and the barrier will appear.

Initially, the new barrier is only two shoulder lines wide. To widen the barrier,

use the Adjust Lanes feature as explained earlier.

You may also remove a barrier, or convert two roads into a single road, by

clicking on the Remove Barrier buon and selecting the barrier you wish to

delete.

Reverse Direction

Once the conguration process has been completed, you will notice that

SmartSensor Manager shows all detected vehicles moving in the same direction.

The Reverse Direction buon enables you to change the direction of travel

depicted in SmartSensor Manager so that each lane reects the actual direction

traveled by detected vehicles.

To do this, press the Reverse Direction buon and move the cursor over the lane

you wish to change. Once the cursor is in place, the cursor will again change

from an arrow to a hand and a tiny arrow will appear below the hand to indicate

the current direction of that lane (see Figure 6.4).
