Overview
The wireless vehicle detect/counter sensor can be deployed to detect the presence of a vehicle or count oncoming traffic utilizing a 9 ft. pneumatic tube. Deployment is easy with the included hose anchor and mounting spikes. Simply turn the unit on with the included magnet, roll the hose out where you wish to record traffic data and pound the spikes into the asphalt. In software, select “Counting” or “Detecting” and begin recording data.
How They Work
- The sensor measures vehicle detection data using its integrated sensing element at configurable intervals.
- Readings are transmitted wirelessly to the UpKeep Edge gateway via the 900 MHz protocol, with Encrypt-RF security.
- UpKeep Edge processes incoming data in real time, comparing readings against user-defined alert thresholds.
- When thresholds are breached, instant notifications are sent via text, email, or phone call to designated team members.
- All data is logged for historical trending, compliance reporting, and predictive maintenance analysis.
Applications
- Parking space monitoring
- Traffic counting
- Loading dock management
- Drive-through optimization

Questions about this sensor
- What does the Industrial - Vehicle Detect/Counter Sensor measure?
- The wireless vehicle detect/counter sensor can be deployed to detect the presence of a vehicle or count oncoming traffic utilizing a 9 ft. pneumatic tube. Deployment is easy with the included hose anchor and mounting spikes. Simply turn the unit on with the included magnet, roll the hose out where you wish to record traffic data and pound the spikes into the asphalt. In software, select “Counting” or “Detecting” and begin recording data.
- Where is the Industrial - Vehicle Detect/Counter Sensor typically installed?
- Common placements include parking space monitoring, traffic counting, loading dock management. It uses a NEMA-rated industrial enclosure, so it holds up to wash-down, outdoor, and high-vibration locations.
- What does it need to work?
- An UpKeep Edge gateway within about 1,200 ft. One gateway supports 50 or more sensors, and readings reach UpKeep over the gateway's cellular, Ethernet, or Modbus connection.
- What happens when a reading is out of range?
- UpKeep opens a work order against the asset and notifies the assigned technician. You set the thresholds for each vehicle detection sensor individually.
