The purpose of this study is to design an inductive sensor,which detect a vehicle on the road. The main objectives are to design an inductive sensor using an enameled copper wire and interface it to an electronics circuit. The analyses of experiments will mainly the important part of this project. Then, a demonstration will be held to demonstrate the sensing process using a working model. This sensor can change some work from manual to automatically. Examples of situation that can implement this sensor is to control the barrier automatically on the main gates on the roads, to monitor traffic on a narrow curved portion of the road and to count the number of vehicles from a particular point per unit time. At present, there are a lot of sensors available in the market that uses inductive sensor. Many methods can be used in detecting the presence of vehicle and a complete circuit of inductive sensor has also been developed. The result from these methods will assist in the future work of this project.
