Vehicle Loop Detectors

Loop Detector and premade loops create an advanced detection system widely used in managing traffic, parking, and access control, such as in automatic gates and door operations. This technology improves efficiency, enhances security, and boosts convenience by using electromagnetic fields to detect the presence of vehicles.

The system comprises two primary elements: the loop detector and the premade loop. The premade loop, a preformed coil of wire, is installed under the pavement or within a gate’s pathway. It serves as an inductive sensor. When a vehicle drives over or stops on the loop, it interrupts the electromagnetic field. The detector, linked to this coil, detects this disturbance and sends a signal to manage traffic lights, open gates, operate ticket dispensers, or engage other traffic control devices.

Premade loops are preferred for ease of installation and reliability. They come in various sizes and shapes to accommodate different detection zones and are engineered to withstand environmental factors like temperature changes and physical stress, ensuring long-term durability and performance.
