Reno A&E Bicycle Detection
System Maximizes Accuracy
Reno A&E now
offers a bicycle detection system that combines a C-series detector with
modified 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,
weather and maintenance challenges experienced with many types of above ground
detection technologies.

Reno A&E’s Bicycle Detection System, contact Reno A&E Director of Sales
