Wrong Way - SafePath Configuration Guide

Wrong Way - SafePath Configuration Guide


Overview
This guide is designed to assist you in configuring the SafePath Wrong Way Driver Warning System using any Wi-Fi-enabled device, including smartphones, tablets, and PCs.

Initial Connection

  1. Power On the Controller:

    • Approximately 5 minutes after being powered on, the Controller will activate a Wi-Fi network. This network is identified by a unique ID containing "WWA."
  2. Connect to the Wi-Fi Network:

    • Open your device’s Wi-Fi settings and connect to the network identified by "WWA."
    • Use the following password: Tr@ffiCalm (case sensitive).
  3. Acknowledge No Internet Connection Warning:

    • Your device will warn you that no internet connection is available; this is expected and should be ignored.
  4. Access the Configuration Interface:

    • Open a web browser (Explorer, Chrome, Safari, Edge) and navigate to: setup.trafficalm.com.
    • Enter the following password when prompted: Tr@ffiCalm.

Configuration Wizard

The setup wizard will guide you through the system configuration in the following order:

  1. Flashing Options
  2. Alert Zone Setup
  3. Flasher Activation Zone Setup
  4. Pre-Alert Zone Setup
  5. Confirmation Zone Setup
  6. Flasher Only Setup
  7. Advanced Options
  8. Camera Aiming (applies to M75-DETCA-M000 only)

Alert Zone Setup

  1. Radar Settings:

    • Set the radar to detect approaching or receding vehicles, depending on the direction of wrong-way drivers.
    • Default radar sensitivity settings typically suffice.
  2. Adjust Radar Angle and Zone Size:

    • Measure the detection zone by walking towards the radar and marking the locations where detection starts (light turns red) and ends (light extinguishes).
    • Measure the distance between these two points and enter it into the system.
  3. Add Collaborator’s ID:

    • If present, enter the Collaborator’s ID (e.g., 0E23DB) and set it up like the Controller.
  4. Zone Collaboration:

    • Select which other zones will be utilized and how they will collaborate.

Pre-Alert Zone Setup

  1. Radar Distance Settings:

    • Set the distance for the Pre-Alert Zone.
    • Measure and enter the center-to-center distance between the Pre-Alert Zone and the Alert Zone.
  2. Zone Collaboration:

    • Decide whether the two radars within the zone require collaboration. Leaving the box unchecked will create a zone where detection on either radar constitutes a collaboration.

Flasher Activation and Confirmation Zone Setup

  1. Configure Radars:
    • Set up 1 or 2 Collaborators per zone.

Flasher Only Setup

  1. Add Flasher Only Collaborators:
    • These devices do not connect to a radar but only flash connected signage, expanding the system’s warning capabilities.

Advanced Wizard Page

  • Options and Radar Detection Stream:
    • Monitor the system’s radar detection stream. A properly set up system will have minimal radar detections. Adjust radar aiming or sensitivity settings as needed to minimize false detections.

Validation Testing

  1. Initial Testing:

    • Observe and adjust settings to exclude radar "noise."
  2. Live Testing:

    • Reverse the system to test on live "right-way" traffic, or preferably, shut down the road section and perform live wrong-way testing.
