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.

  • Solar roads such as Colas’s Wattway could be the right way
    April 26, 2016
    Peter Harrop, chairman of independent research and consultancy IDTechEx, considers arguments in favour of solar roads Nowadays a major trend is the move to off-grid clean energy created by “energy harvesting” to produce electricity where it is needed. This is more controllable and increasingly at lower cost than grid power or diesel gensets, cleaner, and often less subject to interruption. It is taking new forms as revealed in the IDTechEx Research report, “High Power Energy Harvesting 2016-2026”.
