TIME SAVING RECAP

Data Collection Time Savings

A ( 3 ) Mile Segment x ( 3 ) collection spots per Mile, = 9 locations.

Microwave Radar Laser Gun

9 locations x ( 2 ) location moves =18 x .5Hr = 9 Hrs 9 locations x .5 Hr = 4.5

9 HR’S X $40.00 = $360.00 4.5 HR’S X $40.00 = $180.00

Calculation Savings
