With bicycle detection and differentiation in the early stages of being madated by law in several states, for new and upgraded intersections, Reno A&E now offers a bicycle detection system that combines a special detector with prefabricated inductive loops. 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. Reno A&E was just awarded a U.S. patent for signature analysis using inductive loops. This unique bicycle differentiation capability, allows signal technicians a means to provide proper extension time within the detector, ensuring safe passage through intersections, and to minimize impact upon traffic signal coordination and green-band progression. Bicycle detection using prefabricated loops maximizes detection accuracy and cost effectiveness, while avoiding specific lighting, weather and maintenance challenges experienced with many types of aboveground detection technologies.
