Abstract

This paper introduces a new, small, low cost, robust and quick replaceable pavement-based vehicle detector using CW radar, magnetometer, and UHF small antennal techniques. The detector has been developed for a replacement of loop detectors having wide surface areas, for a more accurate operation under all weather conditions, and for no algorithmic change of the existing traffic information system. The detected vehicle information is sent by a small helical antenna embedded in a plastic material and received by a 5/8 $\lambda$ long GP antenna for signal processing. In a relatively good weather condition, the detector operates at 24 GHz. But in a heavy rain condition, magnetometer is activated by automatic switching.

본 논문에서는 CW 레이다기술, 자계기술, VHF/UHF 안테나를 사용한 적은 비용으로 작고 튼튼하며, 신속한 교체가 가능한 도로 관입형 차량검지기를 소개한다. 기존의 교통정보시스템의 알고리즘을 변화시키지 않고, 모든 환경조건에서 보다 정확히 동착하며 널리 사용되고 있는 루프감지기를 대체할 수 있도록 개발되 어졌다 검지된 차량정보는 물리적으로 강한 유전물질에 삽입된 소형의 헬리컬안테나에서 송출하여 5/8 파장 의 GP 안테나로 받아 제어부로 전송한다. 청명한 날씨에는 24 GHz로 동작하나 많은 비가 올 때는 자동스위치에 의해 자계검지부가 동작한다.
