The vehicle loop detector is currently the most widely used and accurate detector; Based on the principle of electromagnetic induction, the vehicle loop detector has been the preferred means of detecting traffic flow information in urban traffic control systems around the world since its application.
The vehicle loop detector is mainly used in traffic flow data information acquisition systems, traffic signal control systems, traffic guidance and parking management systems. The detection requirements mostly include traffic flow, direction, speed, lane occupancy rate, as well as vehicle length and queue length, which can be achieved through different induction coil settings.
The vehicle loop detector is easy to set up and install, and its main applications include toll collection at intersections, traffic control, parking lots, and vehicle counting.
