Vehicle Loop Detectors

Installation costs for loop detectors vary based on the number of channels, location, road conditions, and labor rates. Single-channel detectors are generally more affordable, while multi-channel or specialty units cost more. Contact Traffic Control Corporation for product pricing and guidance on selecting the right configuration for your project.

Loop detectors are typically installed in the pavement at intersections, stop bars, turn lanes, and highway on-ramps. The inductive loop wire is embedded in a saw-cut slot in the road surface and connected to a detector unit housed in a nearby traffic control cabinet.

EDI loop detectors are available in single-channel, two-channel, and four-channel configurations. They come in both rack mount and shelf mount form factors, making them compatible with a wide range of NEMA, ATC, ITS, and CALTRANS traffic control cabinets.

EDI loop detectors are compatible with NEMA TS-1, NEMA TS-2, CALTRANS 33x, ATC Cabinet, and ITS Cabinet standards, ensuring they integrate seamlessly into most existing and new traffic control infrastructure across the United States.

DEFLECTOMETER is a proprietary technology available on select EDI loop detector models that improves vehicle detection accuracy by better distinguishing between vehicle types and reducing false detections. It enhances reliability in high-traffic and mixed-vehicle environments such as intersections and arterial roads.

Yes, select EDI loop detector models include an AccurateCount function specifically designed for reliable traffic volume data collection. These detectors are suitable for transportation agencies and engineers needing accurate counts for traffic studies, signal timing optimization, and infrastructure planning.
