What is a LOOP? Loop Installation?
What is a LOOP? A loop sensor is a detector that senses a change in inductance caused by the passage of a vehicle near the sensor. It is used to manage traffic flow. Vehicles passing over or stopped within the detection area of an inductive-loop detector decrease the inductance of the loop. The electronics unit senses this event as a decrease in frequency and sends a pulse to the controller signifying the passage or presence of a vehicle. Loop Installation? Traffic Counting Loops are installed in the surface asphalt of secondary roads, highways, freeways & freeway ramps. The number of loops per location varies from 1 (on a single lane ramp) up to 8, 10 or more on a multi-lane freeway. The dimensions of a loop are dependant on the exact requirements from Ministry of Transportation, Ontario, Region or Municipality requesting the work.
