MEASUREMENTS OF ROAD TRAFFIC PARAMETERS USING INDUCTIVE LOOPS AND PIEZOELECTRIC SENSORS

Journal Title: Metrology and Measurement Systems - Year 2007, Vol 14, Issue 2

Abstract

The basic problems corresponding to traffic measurements have been presented in the paper. The Authors gave a general overview of the parameters and characteristics describing the vehicles and traffic flow. The current sensor technologies used in measuring systems have been presented. Moreover the measuring systems used in traffic measurements have been described. Special at tention has been paid to the more sophisticated problems like a vehicle's classification based on the analysis of its magnetic signature and to vehicle's weigh-in-motion technique. The presented results base on the Authors' experience in designing and exploitation of the measuring systems equipped with inductive loops and piezoelectric sensors.
