Embedded monitoring
Our system is designed to be embedded into the upper asphalt layer of the road during, ideally, the re/construction phase.
Balanced response
Our system uses a unique mechanical design that provides excellent sensitivity along its entire length to ensure a balanced response to a whole traffic lane.
Measuring various traffic parameters
Compared to magnetic loops our system also enables measuring the weight of passing vehicles. When used together with magnetic loops, the vehicle’s metal chassis can be clearly identified.
No maintenance costs
Usually there is at least 10 cm of asphalt above the detector position. Thanks to this, there is no visible mark on the surface under which the sensor is installed. Moreover, it will not be damaged when milling the surface layer of asphalt. It is maintenance-free and long-lasting.
Highly resistant
One of the biggest benefits is that the system withstands the repeated laying of hot asphalt layers and intensive machine rolling.
Alternative to conventional systems
Our system can easily replace conventional systems installed in the top layer of asphalt which may be prone to breakage and difficult to repair, and which may require replacement during periodic maintenance.
Insensitivity to environmental induced noise
Compared to magnetic loops, our system is inherently insensitive to environmental noise and is therefore suitable for measurements that could be distorted by ambient sound.
Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) technology
FBG technology brings many advantages over the conventional sensing methods, such as immunity to EMI/RFI, high precision, durability, quasi-distribution and absolute measurement, compact size, and reduced cable requirement.
Special design
Special detector, designed with a minimal footprint, enables direct and fast installation in different layers of the asphalt infrastructure or under the roads.
Simple installation process
The detectors can be installed into a small groove in asphalt cut by a standard cutting blade. There is no need to mill large areas or deal with power supply cables.
100% passive solution
The detector construction is fully passive without the need for power. Therefore it easily monitors places without access to power and hazardous or inaccessible areas.
Customized size
The detector’s sensitive length can be customized to match the road or lane width with a different number of detection points.
Multifunctional measuring platform
Several sensors with different functions can be connected in series on a single fiber without signals being confused and with the necessary cable length being considerably smaller. The comprehensive monitoring system can be configured this way.
Connectivity
The detector can be used alone or incorporated into a larger detection network to minimize the cabling costs.
