The Car Counter was designed to count the number of passing cars. The maximum speed of cars for counting to be reliable is 32km/h(20mph). The maximum time a car can stay above the sensor is 2 minutes. Motorcycles are not guaranteed to be counted or not to be counted. The probability of passing a motorcycle being counted mainly depends on the relational trajectory of the motorcycle.

To maximize counting quality the minimum distance between cars should be 1 meter. This requirement should be easy to satisfy in case of safe driving as, based on the Two-second rule (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-second_rule ), 1 meter corresponds to a speed of 0.5m/s or 1.8km/h or about 1.1mph, and in the places where the car counters are usually installed expected vehicle speed is higher and so should be the distance.

Data from the device’s sensors are processed by the device's embedded algorithm. The algorithm output is the number of passing cars. Device configuration defines when the updated number of passing cars will be transmitted to the network.
