DESIGNING AN INDUCTIVE SENSOR FOR ROAD TRAFFIC MONITORING SYSTEMS AND CONTROL

The purpose of this study is to design an inductive sensor,which detect a vehicle on the
road. The main objectives are to design an inductive sensor using an enameled copper
wire and interface it to an electronics circuit. The analyses of experiments will mainly
the important part of this project. Then, a demonstration will be held to demonstrate the
sensing process using a working model.
This sensor can change some work from manual to automatically. Examples of situation
that can implement this sensor is to control the barrier automatically on the main gates
on the roads, to monitor traffic on a narrow curved portion of the road and to count the
number of vehicles from a particular point per unit time.
At present, there are a lot of sensors available in the market that uses inductive sensor.
Many methods can be used in detecting the presence of vehicle and a complete circuit
of inductive sensor has also been developed. The result from these methods will assist
in the future work of this project.
