Leveraging existing loop sensor infrastructure, the VSign Smart Vehicle Classification Solution utilizes inductive loop signature technology and AI-based big data analytics to deliver reliable vehicle count, speed, and class data. Additionally, VSign can generate the FHWA 5-digit vehicle body type code for each vehicle.
The system only requires a single loop per lane for system operation.
The system uses signature data for classification and speed measurement which is accurate even under low speed and high volume conditions.
The system saves a lot of money by using existing loops and the system is very easy and quick to install.
Just by swapping the detector cards, the continuous counting stations can be converted into vehicle classification stations that are capable of classifying vehicles into 13 different vehicle classes and providing accurate speed measurement and traffic count data based on a single loop per lane.
The VSign system surpasses conventional loop detection systems, delivering more reliable and actionable traffic data in both normal and congested conditions. By classifying individual vehicles based on the FHWA 13-category system, VSign offers a clearer picture of vehicle composition along corridors. This enables cost-effective monitoring of truck flow and provides valuable insights into vehicle body types with its 5-digit code.
The VSign system transforms existing single or double loop detectors (or installs new ones) to provide detailed, per-vehicle data. This includes count, occupancy, speed, length, FHWA/HPMS vehicle class, and even a unique 5-digit code for identifying body types. Upgrading your current counting or classification system is simple – just add VSign hardware components.

VSign cuts costs and simplifies maintenance by requiring only one loop per lane for classification. It eliminates unreliable piezo sensors, notorious for their short lifespans and frequent maintenance needs. Additionally, VSign proactively monitors loop sensor health, sending automatic alerts for potential failures before they disrupt data collection.
The environmental protection agency, as well as federal and state agencies, have the need to obtain vehicle classification information and VMT by vehicle class and speed bin in order to accurately estimate Greenhouse Gas and criteria pollutants using their emission models such as MOVES and EMFAC.
