Appendix 1: Lens selection and camera positioning
2 types of TrafiCam sensors are available:
• Wide angle lens
Vehicle presence detection in the area close to the camera: detection of vehicles at the stop bar
• Narrow angle lens
Vehicle presence detection in the area more distant from the camera: advance detection of vehicles
approaching the intersection

Guidelines for the sensor position
• Height: mount TrafiCam as high as possible.
• Position towards the road: position TrafiCam overhead if possible. If not, a side-fired position next to the fastest
lane is recommended.
• Orientation: do not point TrafiCam at the horizon. Place the camera in a position that will have minimum exposure
to direct sunlight.
The height and position of TrafiCam are important factors for minimizing occlusion. Occlusion occurs when a vehicle
blocks out part of the field of view of TrafiCam. Please contact your supplier if you wish more information on how to
reduce or avoid occlusion.
