JUTAI Loop Detector are the most commonly used vehicle detector for freeway management JUTAI Loop detectors are the most commonly used vehicle detector for freeway management. A loop detector consists of a physical loop of wire embedded in the pavement connected to a sensor located in a nearby cabinet. The sensor detects the presence or absence of vehicles over the loop and typically allows a user to manually select the sensitivity level of operation to accommodate for a wide range of responsiveness from the physical loop. In conventional practice, However, it is difficult to know the physical loop’s responsiveness, which makes selecting the appropriate sensitivity level difficult. If the sensitivity and responsiveness are poorly matched it will degrade the detector’s data and the performance of applications that use the data, including: traffic management, control, and traveler information. To resolve this often overlooked problem, this paper presents ...
