Abstract

See full text

A system and method for measuring a plurality of successive induction measurements, collectively known as the 'inductive signature' of a vehicle, and classifying the vehicle described by the measured inductive signature. The system includes a blade-type wire-loop configuration, or blade sensor and a corresponding measurement circuit employing a discrete measurement technique, as opposed to the frequency counting technique of the prior art. The system and method produce repeatable inductive signatures at a high resolution that allows for accurate identification and classification of a vehicle.
