In a bout of frustration I recently realized that the roads have all updated — most people have no idea how — and this sometimes hurts the flow of traffic. This realization happened when an ...

Many red lights fail to detect smaller vehicles like bikes and scooters due to sensor limitations. Inductive loops, common in traffic signals, rely on sufficient metal mass to register a vehicle.

Download this article in PDF format. We’ve been waiting for a long time and now it’s being implemented widely—namely, artificial intelligence (AI). From automatic factories, self-driving cars and ...

It seems like engineering 101, but do you actually remember the specific differences between inductive proximity, inductive displacement, and eddy-current sensors? I asked a few friends and everyone ...

If you're a regular bicycle commuter, then you've no doubt experienced the following scenario: you're the only vehicle going in your direction at a controlled intersection, and the light is red, but ...

Inductive sensors are non-contact proximity sensors that detect ferrous targets, ideally ones made of mild steel thicker than one millimeter. They consist of four major components: a ferrite core with ...

Twenty-one year old Ana Gamble sits on her black scooter at the intersection of Hull Road and Southwest Thirty Fourth Street waiting for the light to turn green. As she waits, the other traffic ...
