Reno loop detector
The latest multi-function inductive loop vehicle detectors from intelligent transportation systems supplier 7435 Reno A&E are designed to reliably detect all vehicles, as well as differentiating cycles from all other vehicles. The Model C-1101-B and C-1201-B two channel loop detectors are available in 170/2070, NEMA TS1/TS2, ITS and ATC cabinet configurations and provide intersection safety without sacrificing efficiency.

Additional passage time for bicycles can be provided by either the loop detector or the controller.  Cycles receive additional green time for safe passage through intersections, while minimum passage time for motorised vehicles is maintained.

The detectors provide two outputs per channel. The primary output provides ‘call’ outputs for all vehicles, including motorcycles and cycles. The primary output can be programmed for lane line ‘LL’ mode, which only outputs for cycles. The secondary output provides a single pulse for each bicycle. The company claims both models allow the traffic engineer to detect and provide safe passage time for cycles without compromising the intersection’s operating efficiency.  This unique capability to identify bicycles from other vehicles allows the technician to program initial time and extension time in the detector for bicycles only, thus providing a safe passage time through intersections.

    David Crawford reports on an urban electronic nervous system. The northern Spanish city of Santander – historically a port - is now an emerging technology showcase attracting global attention as a prototype for a medium-sized smart city of the future. In a move to determine the optimal use of available data, it is creating a de-facto experimental laboratory for sensor and mobile phone-based urban traffic management and environmental monitoring innovations.
