Vehicle Detection Loops
Vehicle Detection Loops are inductive sensors embedded in the pavement to detect the presence of vehicles in real time. These loops serve as the foundational layer for many parking automation systems from entry/exit control to occupancy tracking ensuring accurate vehicle monitoring and seamless integration with parking platforms like OLIOS.
Key Features
High Detection Accuracy
- Instant presence detection of any metallic vehicle type
- Supports both slow-moving and fast-passing vehicles
Entry/Exit Logging
- Automatically triggers events for entry and exit at gates or checkpoints
- Enables time-stamping for billing, duration enforcement, and analytics
Zone Integration
- Works with designated zones or geofences for targeted monitoring
- Supports multi-lane or multi-point detection
Seamless Integration
- Syncs with our ParkSmart and OLIOS and other third party systems.
- Helps automate violation detection based on presence and time rules
All-Weather Reliability
- Operates under all environmental conditions
- Immune to visual obstructions, glare, or camera blind spots
Long-Term Durability
- Rugged design for heavy-duty, high-traffic locations
- Minimal maintenance once installed
Why Use Vehicle Detection Loops?
When precision matters, ground-level loops offer unmatched reliability. Unlike vision-based systems, detection loops are unaffected by lighting, weather, or occlusion, making them ideal for continuous, unattended operation in high-traffic environments.
Benefits
Ensure accurate vehicle detection for parking event logging
Enable reliable occupancy and duration tracking
Support automated enforcement of time-based or unauthorized use
Reduce false detections compared to camera-only systems
Improve gate automation and reduce manual errors
Frequently Asked Questions
How do detection loops work?
They use electromagnetic fields to detect the presence of metal objects, such as cars or motorcycles
Can loops detect vehicle type or size?
No, loops detect presence but not the type or size of the vehicle.
Are they compatible with other sensors?
Yes, they can be used alongside cameras, RFID, or LED indicators for a hybrid solution.
Is installation disruptive?
Installation requires cutting into pavement, but it’s a one-time setup with long-term reliability.
What is the lifespan of a detection loop?
Typically 5–10 years or more, depending on usage and environmental conditions.
