Abstract
A vehicle detector capable of detecting motorized vehicles, bicycles only or both types of vehicle in a loop near a controlled intersection. The vehicle detector includes a processor under control of machine readable code for controlling the operation of one or more oscillators coupled to one or more loops. Manually actuatable switches enable the entry of mode settings—i.e., motorized vehicle and bicycle detect or bicycle only detect—and clearance time parameters for ensuring that one or more bicycles can safely proceed through an intersection when given a green light. Selection of the Bicycle detect mode is denoted by the entry of a non-zero value in an initial timer using one or more of the switches.
