MAG2/Grind Resistant (GR) Sensor
The Sensys Networks VDS240 Wireless Vehicle Detection
System uses wireless magneto-resistive sensors to detect the
presence and movement of vehicles. The sensors – installed in holes
cored in the roadway and covered with epoxy – transmit detection
data in real-time via low-power radio technology to a nearby Sensys
Networks access point. Vehicle detections are further relayed to a
traffic signal controller, remote traffic management center, or other
system.
The new MAG2/GR sensor developed by Sensys Networks utilizes
the next generation of RF chipsets and circuitry. The MAG2 sensors
are installed flush with the roadway surface in plastic shells. The
plastic shells enable the removal and replacement of sensors during
roadway milling operations. The GR sensors are installed at depth
of up to 7 inches below the top of the roadway surface without
plastic shells. Sensors installed at these depths do not have to be
removed and replaced during most roadway milling operations.
In typical traffic management applications, a sensor is placed in
the middle of a traffic lane to detect the presence and passage of
vehicles. Vehicle speeds and length are measured by two sensors
installed in the same lane with the exact distance between them
configured in software. The recommended distance between
sensors depends on the range of expected speeds to be measured:
for typical freeway applications, a separation of 20 to 24 feet (6.1
to 7.3 meters) is recommended; for typical arterial applications, a
separation of 10 to 12 feet (3.1 to 3.7 meters) is preferred.
Advanced Magnetometer-Based Vehicle Detection.
The state-of-the-art magneto-resistive sensing devices in each
wireless sensor measure the x-, y-, and z-axis components of the
Earth’s magnetic field at a 128 Hz sampling rate. As vehicles come
within range, changes in the x, y, or z axes of the measured
magnetic field become apparent. When no vehicles are present,
sensors continually measure the background magnetic field to
estimate a reference. Each sensor automatically self-calibrates to
the local environment, and to any long-term variations of the local
magnetic field, by allowing this reference value to change over time.
