Description

The TCM863 utilizes Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar technology at 80GHz to deliver precise, clutter-resistant detection of traffic flow. Its advanced signal processing employs FFT and target clustering algorithms to accurately measure distance, radial speed, and azimuth angle for each detected object, enabling reliable vehicle classification and lane assignment.

Engineered for permanent roadside installation, the module features a robust, compact housing with an IP rating suitable for outdoor use. Its low power consumption (4.2W) and wide input voltage range allow for flexible power sourcing from solar-battery systems or standard traffic cabinet supplies. The built-in GPS and PTP support ensure seamless data fusion with video analytics platforms and high-precision mapping systems for intelligent transportation applications.

Key Features

  • High-Precision Long-Range Sensing: 80GHz FMCW technology provides stable detection from 1.2m to over 350m, with minimal interference from weather or lighting conditions.
  • Dual-Beam Multi-Lane Monitoring: Combines a focused 28° beam for long-range lane tracking and a 120° wide beam for short-range multi-lane coverage, supporting up to 8 traffic lanes.
  • Advanced Anti-Interference Design: Features adjustable 4-level sensitivity settings and frequency error design to significantly reduce false alarms from other radar sources or environmental clutter.
  • Seamless System Integration: Equipped with GPS for geospatial tagging and PTP for microsecond-level time synchronization, enabling easy fusion with CCTV and all-in-one traffic management systems like Rayvision.
  • Rugged Environmental Durability: Operates reliably across an extreme temperature range of -40°C to +70°C, ensuring year-round performance in diverse climates.
  • Compact and Lightweight Form Factor: Measures only 90mm x 80mm and weighs less than 10g (sensor head), facilitating simple mounting on poles, gantries, or roadside infrastructure.

Applications

  • Highway Traffic Monitoring & Statistics: Continuous vehicle counting, speed measurement, and classification across multiple lanes for traffic flow analysis and congestion management.
  • Smart Intersection Signal Control: Provides real-time vehicle presence and queue detection to optimize traffic light timing and reduce intersection delays.
  • Roadside Parking & Violation Enforcement: Detects illegally parked or stopped vehicles in designated zones, triggering alerts or evidence collection for enforcement systems.
  • Tunnel & Bridge Traffic Management: Monitors vehicle speed and density in confined infrastructures to enforce speed limits and manage traffic incidents.
  • Radar-Video Fusion Systems: Serves as the primary sensing node in all-in-one systems, providing precise trigger and tracking data for synchronized video analytics and automated incident detection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the power supply requirement for the TCM863 radar?

The TCM863 operates from a wide-range DC input of +9.0 to +32 volts, with a typical power consumption of 4.2 watts. This allows it to be powered directly from standard 12V or 24V traffic cabinet supplies or via Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) injectors that can deliver the required voltage and current.

How does the radar synchronize with camera systems?

The module supports dual synchronization methods. For time alignment, it uses Precision Time Protocol (PTP) over Ethernet to achieve microsecond-level sync with network cameras. For spatial alignment, its built-in GPS receiver provides precise location data, enabling easy integration with high-precision maps and visual management platforms for accurate radar-camera data fusion.

What is the effective coverage area and how many lanes can it monitor?

The radar employs a dual-beam design: a narrow 28° beam for long-range tracking and a wide 120° beam for short-range coverage. This configuration allows it to effectively monitor vehicle traffic across up to 8 standard lanes, with a maximum detection range exceeding 350 meters for larger vehicles.

Can the radar distinguish between different types of vehicles and pedestrians?

Yes, through advanced FMCW signal processing and target clustering algorithms, the TCM863 can classify detected objects into categories such as large vehicles (trucks, buses), medium/small vehicles (cars), non-motorized vehicles (bicycles), and pedestrians. It provides this classification data alongside speed, distance, and azimuth for each of the up to 128 simultaneous targets it tracks.

Is the sensor suitable for permanent outdoor installation?

Absolutely. The TCM863 is designed for harsh outdoor environments, with an operating temperature range of -40°C to +70°C. Its compact, rugged housing is rated for outdoor use, making it ideal for permanent installation on traffic poles, gantries, or roadside cabinets for continuous traffic monitoring applications.
