RSSTwo separate regions of the 5247 Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities in the US have each decided to a buy a total of nearly 150 ADR-1000 Plus portable and ADR-2000 Plus portable traffic counter/classifier units from 6589 Peek Traffic Corporation.

The Fairbanks and Anchorage offices of the Alaska DOT ordered most of their ADR Plus units with the solar lid powering option and these will be used with the standard loop and road tube sensor inputs that come with all ADR-1000 Plus and ADR-2000 Plus units. Some units were also bought with piezo sensor modules to add the ability to weigh vehicles on the roadway. Some additional loop sensor modules for the ADRs were also ordered, as well as Peek's LPM-33E field-hardened low-power modems, also for use with these ADR Plus units.
