Vehicle Counter Technology

Radar-Based Field Detection Vehicle Counters

The TC-QT50 Series vehicle counters use an adjustable field radar-based system to detect stationary or moving vehicles while ignoring human targets. This system incorporates the latest radar-based technology to detect its target within an adjustable field of view and detection distance. Objects outside of the field of view are ignored. The rugged enclosure is rated for harsh environments withstanding wind, snow and rain. The sensors are non-invasive and easy to mount from above or side and are not affected by wind, light, and temperature. This versatile vehicle counting and detection system lends itself to a wide variety of applications because of its unique design and features.

TC-MS Series Magnetic Field Vehicle Counters

The TC-MS Series Vehicle Counter incorporates passive magnetic field sensing technology to detect vehicles. The sensor functions by measuring changes in the Earth's ambient magnetic field caused by the introduction of large ferrous objects such as automobiles, trucks and trains. The sensor will produce an output or count for each vehicle detected. Its unique design allows for surface side mounting or below grade installation. Versions are available for installation in existing pavement or new construction.

Pressure Hose Vehicle Counter

Pressure Hose Vehicle Counters use an air hose that is stretched across a single lane road and bracketed to the pavement. One end of the pressure hose is enclosed and the other end is connected to a counter unit equipped with air switches. When a vehicle’s tire depresses the pressure hose, a pulse is generated which is then detected by an air switch. The LCD display increments up once for every axel that triggers the manual switch.

Passive Infrared Sensor with Chime

This sensor can be mounted on the front, side, or overhead to count vehicles passing through its sensing area. It is best suited for entrances where multiple vehicles do not enter the detection area simultaneously. The PC-PIR15 sensor detects heat emitted from vehicles passing through the sensing area. It will only count once for two or more vehicles passing in front of or beneath the beam at the same time. This sensor can sense up to 50 feet in narrow beam or 17 feet in fan pattern modes.
