Reno A&E to Host Webinar on Bicycle Detection & Vehicle
Differentiation Using Prefabricated Loops
Please join us
on Tuesday, May 12th for an informative 45-minute webinar on the Reno
A&E Bicycle Detection & Vehicle Differentiation System that combines a
C-series inductive loop detector, using enhanced / patented algorithms and
prefabricated inductive loops for new and upgraded intersections. Many states
now require automated bicycle detection in signalized intersections and RAE
loop detectors (model C-1101-B and model C-1201-B) identify all vehicles,
including the ability to differentiate bicycles from all other vehicles,
scooters and motorcycles. The webinar will illustrate how the system performs
and how traffic engineering professionals can benefit by detecting and
providing safe passage time for bicycles, without compromising operational
efficiency of the intersection. To register, go to http://bit.ly/1ECRADS.
