PATINETE - Banco de Patentes

The traffic and variety of Personal Mobility Vehicles (PMV) are growing in urban environments. Urban planning and law enforcement requires a better knowledge on the use of PMVs. This invention enhances the magnetic loops used to detect traffic of motorized vehicles and provides a new tool for the remote assessment of PMVs traffic.

This invention brings remarkable innovations: (1) A double magnetic loop for cost-reduction (2) a working resonance frequency 400-800 kHz (3) a low cost electronic circuits designed and tuned for PMV.

The system and method extracts valuable information for PMV monitoring: Type of Vehicle, speed and length, sense of circulation, and traffic density in the target area.

The system design is validated with prototypes and tested in laboratory setup with a variety of PMV.
