Reno A&E Bicycle Detection System Maximizes Accuracy
Reno A&E now
offers a bicycle detection system that combines a C-series inductive loop
detector, using enhanced and patented algorithms and prefabricated inductive
loops for new and upgraded intersections. The Reno A&E (model C-1101-B and
model C-1201-B) loop detectors identify all vehicles, including the ability to
differentiate bicycles from all other vehicles, as well as scooters and
motorcycles. Both models, (CALTRANS or NEMA type), allow traffic engineering
professionals to detect and provide safe passage time for bicycles without
compromising operational efficiency of the intersection. Bicycle detection
using prefabricated loops maximizes detection accuracy and cost effectiveness,
while avoiding specific lighting, field of view, weather and maintenance
challenges experienced with many types of above ground detection technologies.
To learn more about Reno A&E’s Bicycle Detection System, contact Reno
A&E Director of Sales Carl Zabel at carlz@renoae.com.
