10 www.atsi-tester .com Overview of T raf fic Loop Detection Systems The inductive loop represents the most commonly used method to detect vehicles. The inductive loop is simply a coil of wires embedded into the pavement and can be characterized by several parameters, L (inductance), Q (quality factor), R (active resis- tance, measured using AC sig ...

11 HILT 9000 - Inductive Loop Tester To guarantee a reliable oscillation in the loop system the quality factor ( Q ) of the loop with the lead-in wires should be above some value, deter mined by the amplifiers inside the detector . Deterio- ration of the loop and lead-in wires reduces Q and eventually prevents the system from oscillating even with ...
