Automated Traffic Counters

Automated Traffic Counters are electronic devices used to monitor vehicle flow on roads. Installed on or beside roads, they accurately track the number, type, and speed of passing vehicles without human intervention. These devices often use sensors like inductive loops embedded in the pavement, radar, or infrared to detect vehicles as they pass. The data collected helps transportation agencies analyze traffic patterns, plan infrastructure improvements, and manage congestion effectively. Automated counters operate continuously, providing reliable real-time information that supports informed decision-making for road safety and traffic management.
