Everything you wanted to know but were afraid to ask.
Why do we need sensors at all?
Vehicle Counts Vehicle Counts
Road Maintenance & Speed Monitoring
Congestion Evaluation New Route Congestion Evaluation – New Route Creation – Maintenance Costs
Volume, Speed, Occupancy, Vehicle Classification, HeadwayVehicle Classification, Headway
In RoadwayIn-Roadway Sensor Technologygy
Imbedded in the Pavement
Magnetic Sensors Changes in magnetic field trigger counts
Vehicle counts, speed, classification
Less susceptible than loops to traffic & Less susceptible than loops to traffic & temp – Insensitive to weather such as snow rain & fogsnow, rain & fog
Installation requires pavement cuts or boring under roadway – can not detect stopped vehicles – Requiresdetect stopped vehicles Requires lane closures for installation
GroundHogGroundHog
Inductive Loop Detectors Changing loop inductance sends signal to traffic controller Changing loop inductance sends signal to traffic controller
Most Common Sensor used in traffic management
Mature well understood Technology – large experience base – provides basic traffic parameters
Installation requires pavement cuts – Improper installation
fdecreases pavement life –Installation and maintenance requires lane closures Wirerequires lane closures – Wire loops subject to stresses of traffic and temperature –traffic and temperature Multiple loops usually required to monitor a specific location

Solar Power Where There’s No AC
RTMS slashes power costs by 3- Only 3 watts
Smaller Solar Panels- Smaller Solar Panels- Cloudy Days No Problem!
RTMS covers both sides of the highway with one unit – others make you buy two.
Two extra lanes of coverage per sensor enable future growth without future cost: That’s value!
