...data memory and GPS Equipped Recording!

The RAC Plus III takes all the benefits of the RAC Plus I and adds the ability to record and store events to the unit's expansive memory. This unit also comes with GPS recording capability creating an unparalleled combination of accuracy & convenience. This cost-effective unit saves time & money by allowing personnel to measure distance, accurate to 1 foot per mile, while recording GPS coordinates of roadway features – making it the most powerful DMI on the market.

Detailed analysis and reporting can then be done by downloading to the WinRAC Plus software.

This unit is a replacement for our older model RAC-200 DMI.

• Memory The RAC Plus III will allow you to store up to 400,000 events in memory. Ideal for inventory applications, the Events are identified by using a four digit numeric code (0 thru 9999) to identify signs, guide rail, pavement marking, intersections, railroad crossings or other highway features. Events are stored in nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM). This NVRAM will hold your data for approximately 50 years, or until you clear the memory.

• Data Output Download the stored data to your PC or laptop using our WinRAC Plus software. The downloaded data contains the memory location (0-3500), event code (0-9999),distance, interval distance, time and speed for each event.

• Record Accurate Distances along with GPS Coordinates Exclusive only with the RAC Plus III/GPS, you are able to store up to 30 hours of continuous GPS data, at one second intervals, while recording roadway distance in the RAC Plus III's internal memory. Using this powerful inventory tool, you can record road features (intersections, bridges, signs, guide-rail, etc.) along with their distance and GPS coordinates.

• Unmatched GPS Recording Accuracy The RAC Plus III uses a GPS receiver which incorporates the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) for improving accuracy of GPS signals. WAAS uses a correction signal created by a collection of 25 land-based stations that are spread out across North America. This correction signal is then broadcast from specialized communication satellites.

With WAAS enabled, our 12 channel GPS receiver capability allows 2D GPS accuracy of approximately 2 meters. Without WAAS, depending on the location in the continental US and satellite accessibility, horizontal GPS accuracy is approximately 6 meters. This, along with the RAC Pus III's distance accuracy of +/- 1 foot per mile provides unequaled data collection capabilities.

• Several Data Retrieval & Processing Options There are two methods that can be used to retrieve distance and GPS information from the RAC Plus III.

In its most basic configuration, you can simply record and then read the distance and GPS information off of the RAC Plus III's display. This can be done while the vehicle is stopped, or while it is moving, depending on the number of people doing the data collection.

Another method is to have the RAC Plus III store the events of interest, along with their distance, latitude & longitude, as you key them in. When using this method, the GPS coordinates can be stored every second while roadway events, with their distance & latitude/longitude, are stored as you enter them. This data can then be easily downloaded to the WinRAC Plus processing software for analysis, reporting or exporting to external software like Excel or commercially available mapping programs.
