VEHICLE DETECTION - Induction loop emulator

Induction loops buried under the road surface are used at intersections to detect a vehicle?s presence. This detection signal is used by the local and central traffic controllers to manage an efficient flow of traffic.

The replacement of a failed induction loop requires closure of the road and cutting the road surface. The scheduling of the road work can sometimes take a few weeks. While the loop is not functioning (awaiting repair) the efficiency of the traffic flow at the affected intersection (and possibly surrounding area) may be reduced.

Vidimon ILE system is a reliable, non-invasive detector that can be used to replace the functionality of one or more loops without the need for road works.

The ILE System

Specific Features
