Reno A&E to Host Webinar on Bicycle Detection & Vehicle Differentiation Using Prefabricated Loops
Please join us on Tuesday, May 12th for an informative 45-minute webinar on the Reno A&E Bicycle Detection & Vehicle Differentiation System that combines a C-series inductive loop detector, using enhanced / patented algorithms and prefabricated inductive loops for new and upgraded intersections. Many states now require automated bicycle detection in signalized intersections and RAE loop detectors (model C-1101-B and model C-1201-B) identify all vehicles, including the ability to differentiate bicycles from all other vehicles, scooters and motorcycles. The webinar will illustrate how the system performs and how traffic engineering professionals can benefit by detecting and providing safe passage time for bicycles, without compromising operational efficiency of the intersection.
