11. INTRODUCTION Commercially available instruments for road-side data collection take highly limited measurements, require extensive manual input, o

2Some of these constrains were that the stations should be capable of operating both during the day and the night, that the stations should be mobile

3The most constraining aspect of the design was finding a power source capable of supporting a running time of one week that was both low cost and mo
