Abstract
This article discusses the results of a research and development project to detect and evaluate inductive loops used in intersections for traffic detection and control using a step-frequency ground-penetrating-radar (SF-GPR) array. The frequency bandwidth, the dwell time, the transmitter-receiver patterns within the array, and the processing options defined the domain of an optimization effort to maximize the detection of the inductive loops. Descriptions of the application and the SF-GPR system and method are provided. A summary of the research effort and final results are presented. The inductive loops were detected and mapped at increasing levels of success with the optimization of data acquisition controls and data reduction options.
