Chart Widget User Guide
Working with Chart Widgets
The Chart Widget allows the User the ability to view traffic data collected by the DCMS system. The Chart Widget includes data summarized in a Chart, either in a Bar Graph or a Line Graph format. The data is collected from vehicle detection devices, like the Autoscope Video Vehicle Detection System, and their associated system detectors.
