What are Vehicle Counting Systems?
A vehicle counting system is a network of devices, such as sensors, computers, and software, that collect and report vehicle volume and behaviour. With features such as high-visibility LED signs and wireless communication, these systems can provide real-time information to drivers and authorities alike, helping to reduce congestion and improve road safety. An automatic vehicle counting system can also be used for traffic monitoring.
TPS Group offers a range of solutions that are tailored to specific applications and can be easily integrated with other traffic management technologies.
How Do Vehicle Counting Systems Work?
Vehicle counting systems utilise various technologies such as infrared, radar, and magnetic sensors to detect and count vehicles in real time. This allows you to accurately monitor traffic flow and parking occupancy.
By using advanced technology such as infrared and RF sensors, a vehicle counting system can accurately and reliably track cars passing through a specific location, allowing traffic engineers to analyse traffic patterns and plan for improvements.

Who Uses Vehicle Counting and Tracking Systems in Australia?
Vehicle counting and tracking systems have become increasingly popular in Australia due to their ability to provide valuable data for traffic management and parking enforcement. These systems help public spaces like city councils and shopping centres make informed decisions about parking management and optimize the utilization of their parking spaces.
TPS Group is a leading provider of vehicle counting and tracking systems in Australia. We offer a range of solutions to match the right technology to your specific needs. Our Vehicle counting systems can be used for the following applications:
- Shopping Centre Car Parks
- Council Restricted Parking Areas
- University Car Parks
- Retail Precincts
- Vehicle Overstay Detection
- Vehicle Guidance and Signage
- Parking Surveys
- Linked with Parking Meters for More Effective Enforcement
You should purchase a vehicle tracking system for any area that requires detailed reporting of automated vehicle counts and car park occupancy without the need to manually download data.

Why should you buy a vehicle counting system? What advantages do they offer? Discover the numerous benefits of vehicle counting below.
Traffic Management
Vehicle counting systems allow you to control the flow of traffic within a certain area. They can help you identify hotspots and peak congestion times, enabling you to make the right adjustments to your traffic management methods and optimise the flow of vehicles.
City Planning
By counting the vehicles in a given spot, urban planners and city councils can improve local areas and build new infrastructure more efficiently. City planners can use vehicle counting systems to understand traffic flows and daily traffic volumes, allowing them to identify the right strategies to implement on future roads.
Road Safety
Vehicle counting also allows authorities to identify areas where accidents and collisions occur more frequently. This, in turn, enables them to implement accident-reduction measures and increase overall road safety.
Environmental Impact
Vehicle counting systems can track the daily use of cars, buses, vans, and other vehicles. This data is then used to calculate air quality and noise pollution, which enables authorities to implement appropriate eco-friendly measures in the right places.

FAQs
TPS offers a range of vehicle counting systems that are customisable to your needs. Check out these frequently asked questions before you purchase a system to make sure you know what you’re buying.
Which sensor is used to detect vehicles?
A vehicle counting sensor (or vehicle counting and detection system) is used to detect vehicles. These sensors typically use a range of technologies, such as pneumatic tubes, inductive loops, and magnetic sensors (which are installed directly on or under a road’s surface), infrared (passive and active), radar, Doppler microwave, pulse ultrasonic, passive acoustic, and video detection sensors. TPS offers a range of these, tailored to your application.
What are the types of sensors?
There’s a growing range of sensor types, including pneumatic tubes, inductive loops and magnetic sensors (which are installed directly on or under a road’s surface), infrared (passive and active), radar, Doppler microwave, pulse ultrasonic, passive acoustic and video detection sensors that TPS offers, which are becoming increasingly used for some applications.
Can IR sensors detect a car?
IR technologies can be used to detect a car, and there are a range of patented devices (such as the type TPS provide) that allow for this with increasing accuracy.
What's used to count vehicles on the road?
Typically, devices such as pneumatic tubes, inductive loops and magnetic sensors are installed directly on a road’s surface, and detect the passage of each car overhead. However, there are a range of new technologies such as infrared (passive and active), radar, Doppler microwave, pulse ultrasonic, passive acoustic and video detection sensors that TPS offers, which are becoming increasingly used for some applications.
How do you count cars?
There are a range of ways to count cars. Of course you could manually count cars, however a range of technologies such as infrared sensors, cameras, inductive loops, pneumatic sensors and vehicle counting cameras are all available to automate the job for you. TPS specialise in matching the right technology to the right application. So get in touch now to learn what’s right for you.
Can vehicle counters be used to count people?
Some of the technologies used in vehicle counting are also used in people counting. However, we always recommend a tailored people counting solution, which TPS also provides. Click here to view more information on our people counting solutions.
