Speed-Measuring Device Performance Specifications: Radar Module

Published

Author(s)

A G. Lieberman

Abstract

Technical requirements and verification procedures are presented which define a baseline for acceptable traffic radar device performance. Manufacturers are encouraged to produce radar models that meet or exceed these performance specifications; equipment buyers are encouraged to use these performance specifications to develop purchasing criteria. As a result, traffic officers, citizens and courts should be assured that radar models determined to comply with these specifications will provide the high quality of service they require.
