The solution was reportedly based on the induction loop technology developed by Eco-counter. Initially intended to count bicycles, the digital sensor was then designed to detect other vehicles.
According to Traffic Technology, the detection loops can be installed on dedicated or shared lanes and on all typical surface types. It claims the sensor can be connected to the user’s traffic data management system, to provide direction recognition, multi-user classification and count timestamps
Richard Toomey, managing director of Traffic Technology, said: “Providing an accurate means of monitoring electric scooters, which are overtaking electric cycles on our urban roads, is an important part of our product development with future upgrades to the Zelt Evo to include cargo bikes”
