You "just" need to wave that instrument over 1400km of highway, potentially with a 100m+ width if the capsule has been kicked some distance away by a truck tyre.

I’m trying to imagine the scale of this. I guess it depends on how close you have to be to pick up the signal. And how many false signals there might be.
