The scope of this standard is limited to radar speed-measuring devices used by law enforcement agencies for enforcing vehicle speed regulations, where these radar devices are operated in a "down-the-road" (DTR) fashion, meaning that the radar is aimed in a direction nominally parallel to direction of travel on the roadway and toward traffic. These DTR radar units transmit modulated or unmodulated continuous-wave (CW) microwave energy, receive the signal reflected from moving vehicles within the microwave beam, process the Doppler shift of the reflected signal to measure and display the speed of the vehicle that is being tracked, and if applicable, the speed of the patrol vehicle. This standard does not apply to unmanned radar speed-measuring devices, automated speed enforcement, or DTR radar range measurements.
This standard is a companion volume for IEEE Std 1512-2006, referred to here as the "Base Standard." This standard specifies messages, data frames, and data elements for communicating information about traffic and infrastructure management in support of real-time interagency transportation-related incident management. The Base Standard specifies messages, data frames, and data elements to describe an incident and form the message infrastructure for communication involved in real-time… read more interagency transportation related incident management. Refer to the Base Standard for specification of the scope of the combination of the Base Standard and companion volumes such as this one. Together, the Base Standard and companion volumes shall be referred to as the "IEEE 1512 Family of Standards." read less
