TDC2 Article

Featured in a recent issue of the Village Vision.

The Village of Los Ranchos recently purchased a Stalker Traffic Data Collection device (TDC2). The TDC2 can be installed on utility poles and will collect speed and traffic data throughout the Village. The TDC2 collects speed and traffic data and allows the Village to create several reports related to speed and traffic data to include ideal times for traffic enforcement by law enforcement. The following are the 3 locations for June 2024 that the TDC2 was located and the data we collected:
