IPS-403
NB-IoT Traffic Sensor
An in-road NB-IoT traffic sensor for real-time and statistical measurement of vehicle count and average speed
Vehicle countingSpeed measurementIP67
Product role
Traffic data directly from the road surface
IPS-403 uses vehicle-induced magnetic-field changes to count passages and estimate speed, then sends the data over NB-IoT to the management system
