Vehicle detection; replacing a ground loop

by Annemarie Mooibroek01 January 20241 min read

Functionality, reliability, efficiency, and design come together in our OPTEX OVS vehicle detection range. These vehicle sensors offer high quality, above ground detection for Vehicle Presence detection for Activation, Counting and Presence detection purposes.

With the OPTEX OVS-Series it's easy to implement a vehicle detection sensor that provides a solid solution for above ground vehicle detection, without digging into the surface. It reliably senses motion and presence based on microwave and ultrasonic technology and is a great solution for gates, barriers, industrial applications, car counting and occupancy detection. Each sensor is equipped with a unique set of features to cater to different on-site requirements, and they are the perfect solution for sites where in-ground induction loops are impossible or not allowed. The sensors enhance safety, security and efficiency and are easy and quick to install and maintain. The performance during challenging weather conditions like heat, snow and rain is excellent and the sensors are therefore suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

OPTEX is a developer, manufacturer and distributor of high quality sensing technology for over 40 years. Our products are globally appreciated and used in a variety of applications for entrance, security, factory automation and vehicle detection solutions.
