Eberle Design Inc. Introduces iCITE™ Data Aggregator DA-200™

The Eberle Design Inc. iCITE™ Data Aggregator DA-200™ provides cost effective remote access to real-time performance measures and traffic data from isolated or networked intersections or arterial roadways. It easily interfaces with any traffic cabinet or controller, (NEMA, ATCC or 170/2070), to provide real-time traffic counts, and parsed data that can be used to derive a variety of data analytics. The iCITE™ Data Aggregator DA-200™ is designed to endure temperature extremes and is well suited for solar powered applications.
