WavetronixLINDON, Utah—June 04, 2007—Wavetronix LLC, the world leader in patented Digital Wave Radar™ traffic sensors and ready-to-use data appliances, has unveiled the newest version of its Command DataCollector™ at the 2007 ITSA exhibition in Palm Springs, California. DataCollector 2.0 offers several new features and improved functionality for better management of large sensor networks.
DataCollector is an out-of-the-box, Web-based data collection appliance that integrates easily into any environment and provides quick access to all sensors in a network. Easy to use and scalable, DataCollector offers at-a-glance verification of collected data as well as the communication status of individual sensors, and it easily expands to respond to a transportation department's growing needs. An extensive library of sensor drivers allows DataCollector to manage networks of multiple types of sensors while taking advantage of the features and functions unique to each detection device.
“Many existing data collection systems are limited to the NTCIP protocol, which reduces sensor management down to its most common functions, and so they lose the benefits of those devices' unique features,” says Brian Hagen, Wavetronix' COO and chair of the Command product management team. “DataCollector doesn't make that compromise. Its driver library takes advantage of every unique feature of each distinct sensor, and we work closely with manufacturers to keep our drivers up-to-date with their technologies.”
According to Hagen, DataCollector 2.0 uses the latest protocol drivers of several different sensor types to provide users with the full benefits of all features. It has expanded support for video detection systems, can support data collection from 10 or more lanes of traffic, and also supports the Federal Highway Administration's 13 plus two additional vehicle classes. Additionally, it offers expanded archiving functions, giving users access to seven days of sensor interval data and up to 90 days of five-, 15- and 60-minute aggregated data.
Hagen says DataCollector 2.0 offers improved search, sort and filtering functions with the ability to perform “batch controls” of selected sensor groups. “When you have hundreds of sensors to manage, how do you know which one needs your attention?” Hagen says. “With DataCollector 2.0, users can search by virtually any criteria to identify specific sensors, so individual sensors, or select groups of sensors, can be managed very quickly.”
DataCollector 2.0 improves the device's scalability, managing thousands of devices across multiple networked servers. True enterprise failover capabilities allow services running on multiple servers to operate as a single function and provide hardware backup in case of server failure. It also offers assisted troubleshooting functions which automatically capture all log files, user actions and error records into a bundles report for diagnostic review by Wavetronix Technical Support.
