EMX launches new loop-less vehicle detector

The CarSense CS303-L Logic Interface from EMX Industries expands the application of CS303 magneto-resistive vehicle sensors into single, two channel and directional detection installations.

The CarSense CS303-L Logic Interface from 7630 EMX Industries expands the application of CS303 magneto-resistive vehicle sensors into single, two channel and directional detection installations.

While the new sensor is less intrusive then an inductive loop and requires less maintenance, the CS303-L logic interface allows users to configure it as a single or two-channel inductive vehicle detector. The ability to operate the CS303 in a closing loop, vehicle counting and other inductive vehicle detector applications, while also allowing detect on stop and detection axis optimisation, makes it suitable for parking and access control.

The sensors can be retrofitted in an old inductive loop cut or over the existing loops without any interference and rebar has no operational influence on the magneto-resistive sensors.

    Historical traffic data provided by TomTom is being used by the local government in Spain’s Basque region to reduce road congestion at less cost. Old habits die hard. Photos from as far back as the 1930s show people counting cars by the roadside in order to provide congestion data to those running road networks. Today, such techniques are still used, albeit augmented by a range of automation technologies such as inductive loops, infra-red sensors and number plate recognition. Even with these advances, howe
