A Loop Detector for Gate Barrier is an inductive vehicle detection system installed beneath the road surface to detect the presence of vehicles. It works by sensing changes in magnetic fields when a vehicle passes or stops over the loop, triggering the boom barrier to open or preventing it from closing.
Loop detectors are essential for ensuring safe, automated, and efficient vehicle access control in residential, commercial, and industrial environments.
How a Loop Detector Works
- An inductive loop wire is embedded under the driveway surface.
- The loop detector monitors magnetic field changes.
- When a vehicle enters the detection zone, the system sends a signal.
- The gate barrier either opens automatically or prevents closing while the vehicle is present.
- This ensures smooth traffic flow and prevents accidental barrier damage.
