The smartmicro Handheld Target Simulator streamlines sensor alignment and verification during installation, ensuring your traffic projects start with maximum accuracy.

Radar sensors are the backbone of modern traffic management, delivering precise vehicle tracking, speed measurement, and enhanced road safety. For best-in-class performance, accurate alignment in real-world conditions is essential right from the start.

The Handheld Target Simulator makes alignment easier by giving you a reliable reference target right at the installation site.

Accurate Alignment in Real Traffic Conditions
The Handheld Target Simulator creates a clear radar target with exact range, angle, and Doppler features. This helps installers check sensor placement and performance in real traffic, so the sensor picks up exactly what it should, without any guessing.

Efficient On-Site Verification
Designed for field use, the device is lightweight, portable, and intuitive. Installers can position the reference target in the sensor’s field of view and instantly verify detection via the smartmicro Web UI, speeding up and simplifying the setup process.

Real-Time Feedback and Adjustment
Installers receive real-time feedback on sensor alignment, allowing immediate adjustments and instant confirmation of results. This guarantees correct setup before the system goes live.

Reliable Installation from the Start
A clear reference target eliminates uncertainty during installation, ensuring radar sensors are aligned right from the start. This reduces errors, minimizes maintenance, and delivers long-term system reliability.

Whether deploying new traffic systems or upgrading existing infrastructure, the Handheld Target Simulator offers a precise, efficient, and dependable solution for field alignment of radar sensors.
