How to Choose a Vehicle Detection Technology
The ability to reliably detect vehicles offers significant advantages for asset management, resource allocation, site safety and traffic control.
Factors to Consider
Identifying the right technology for your vehicle detection application can be challenging, and many factors must be taken into consideration, including task, size of target, sensing range, sensor mounting, and whether the application is primarily indoor or outdoor.
Combine Multiple Solutions
Applications that require the highest possible accuracy should consider implementing redundant technology. Utilizing two sensor technologies simultaneously can help reduce risk of error in case one sensing method fails. We recommend discussing your specific application needs with a professional.

Bank Drive-Thru Automobile Detection
Detect cars arriving at a bank teller's window
Car Wash Status Indication Inside Washing Area
Bright indication inside a car wash for various stages
Car Wash
Vehicle sensing technologies verify that vehicles are correctly positioned in the car wash bay, monitor the flow of traffic, and trigger next steps like opening and closing doors.
Delivery Truck Detection at an Outdoor Loading Dock
Use shifts in magnetic fields to detect arrival and trigger alert
Delivery Vehicle Detection with Indication in Warehouse
Vehicle detection at loading docks is complicated because sensing solutions are exposed to the elements and need to recognize a wide variety of surfaces. Rugged ultrasonic sensors work well to accurately detect the surfaces of delivery vehicles regardless of the material. Pairing with bright LED indication creates unmistakable operator guidance.
