Utilizing their SureCross Wireless Network and their M-GAGE Wireless Sensor Node, Banner Engineering Corp managed to create an efficient and reliable vehicle sensing system. The M-GAGE detects ...

In a bout of frustration I recently realized that the roads have all updated — most people have no idea how — and this sometimes hurts the flow of traffic. This realization happened when an ...

It seems like engineering 101, but do you actually remember the specific differences between inductive proximity, inductive displacement, and eddy-current sensors? I asked a few friends and everyone ...

Many red lights fail to detect smaller vehicles like bikes and scooters due to sensor limitations. Inductive loops, common in traffic signals, rely on sufficient metal mass to register a vehicle.

[Trax] was asked by a friend to build a device that could detect the presence of a car in front of his garage gate for it to open automatically. After searching the web for such a project and trying ...

Ordinarily, traffic lights change color in response to predetermined rules and induction loop sensors embedded in the road. According to new research, however, making those lights artificially ...

Q: I read yet another answer of yours about damaged sensors. Some intersections use wire loops buried in the roadway and some use cameras mounted with the traffic lights. Out of curiosity, how do they ...

A video-detection traffic sensor system uses video cameras mounted on the mast arm of a traffic signal to "see" a vehicle approaching the intersection. When a vehicle enters the camera's "detection ...

How a wireless stent can be used for an implanted sensor and inductive link. How the wireless stent was fabricated and used. How the stent’s performance was evaluated. There are multiple options for ...

Twenty-one year old Ana Gamble sits on her black scooter at the intersection of Hull Road and Southwest Thirty Fourth Street waiting for the light to turn green. As she waits, the other traffic ...

Waiting alone at a red light that simply refuses to turn green can feel like the universe is pranking you. Anyone who has driven late at night, or who rides a scooter or bike, knows that sinking ...
