Inductive Loop Detection - Still Going Strong: Why Loops Are Still The Best Choice

摘要

Loops have been around longer than any other current form of detection. The gold standard for accuracy is still a loop detector. With the increase in technology, such as faster processors and communications, and more advanced materials, loops are seeing some resurgence. There are new features in the old reliable loop detector worth looking at again. Automatic vehicle detection and bike detection are just a couple of the new technology features beginning to be available, with more to come as newer, faster processors are utilized. Add to this the added reliability and increased life expectancy of a preformed loop, it easy to see why loops have not gone by the wayside.
