The Houston Radar PX150 is the pinnacle of tracking radar technology.  Featuring a wide FOV, it’s engineered to precisely monitor the location and velocity of vehicles from a variety of installation locations across multiple lanes and turns, enhancing traffic management systems.

  • Advanced Technology Integration: Utilizes a blend of MIMO, FMCW, and Doppler technologies to deliver accurate measurements of range, azimuth, and speed for each vehicle up to a maximum of 256 targets simultaneously.
  • Compact and Non-intrusive: Offers a highly integrated design for monitoring multiple lanes without intruding on the roadway.
  • All-Weather Performance: Reliable operation in various weather conditions. Not affected by dust, fog, sun, shadows.
  • Customizable Detection Zones: Supports 64 user-defined zones for queue detection & stop bar.
  • Detection Alerts: Robust detection with pre & post trigger video clips uploaded to Tetryon™ cloud server.
  • Detailed Traffic Insights: Provides real-time, per-vehicle, and per-lane data, including lane-specific vehicle counts, categorization by speed, and speed statistics (average and 85th percentile).
  • Provides turning movement counts.
  • Extensive Vehicle Memory: Can store data for 1 million vehicles, ensuring continuous data collection even during communication disruptions.
  • User-Friendly Software: Features a companion Windows program with an intuitive GUI for easy setup and monitoring, alongside an Android app for convenient field installation and maintenance.
  • Effortless Installation: Includes an electronic accelerometer for tilt and level adjustments, and a built-in HD video camera for easy setup and remote traffic observation.
  • Wired Connectivity: Features built-in RS232/485 serial and Ethernet ports for versatile connections.
  • Wireless Connectivity: Equipped with Bluetooth, WiFi and optional 4G cellular modem for seamless wireless access.
  • Ample Storage: Comes with 8GB of internal storage and a microSD card slot for expansion (not accessible externally).
  • Robust Data Access: Supports comprehensive Houston Radar protocol, alongside C and C# SDKs, and a powerful SQL-based query interface for analyzing historical data.
  • Enhanced Data Management: Optional Tetryon cloud server for aggregating data from multiple units and alerts with video clips.
  • Regulatory Compliance: FCC and CE certification for operation within the full 500MHz ISM band.
