A Traffic Control System Using Inductive Loop Detector

Abstract

This paper presents the development of an inductive loop traffic sensor device that can detect the vehicles under heterogeneous and lane less traffic conditions. The existing available loop systems are only suitable for lane based and homogeneous traffic conditions. The developed multiple loop system has a new loop structure that can detect large vehicles like bus, truck etc., as well as small vehicles like bicycle, motorcycle etc., occupying any available space in the road. The proposed system detects, segregates the vehicle type and also counts the number of vehicle even in mixed traffic flow condition.
