- A prototype of a traffic counter I'm making.
The differential pressure sensor: MPX5010DP
Arduino code: github.com/neuroprod/Road-Tub...

When I was a kid they set one of those up near my house. My mom said a traffic signal would be good at the nearby intersection so every afternoon we'd jumped up and down on the hose for like half an hour. This was in the 1960s so I doubt they could tell that 400 of the daily 450 cars passed just after school let out. They put up the traffic signal.
Thanks for this, I used it as a template to count cars!! I added an LCD display to count it out rather than a wifi, and it works beautifully. Well, it doesn't look as nice as yours, lol, but it works!! Thanks again!
you have a source code?
Excellent and exactly what I needed!
So elegant and so easy.
tnx! Yes, it was surprisingly simple :)
+Александр Баталов Can you please help me, this is interesting and I want to make one for myself but I am new to this. I didn't understand what happens in the fast time lapse. How do you connect the wireless and how to get it to work? What model is it and where can I buy it from? Thanks
Very interesting ! Do you think it could be used for heavier traffic (cars, trucks) and get differentiated data for bikes, cars and trucks?
Hi sir,this is fantastic project. please mention the name of extra components that used to build as a final product. Mainly the parts used in 2.13 to 2.40 in video
I've been searching for things like this. Can this be used on a "normal" roads, with cars/trucks? I think it depends more on the hose, right? What about logging the data into internal memory and tehn export it to the pc?
Hi. May I know how much pressure was being generated by the heaviest car? Should a sensor with a limit of taking 10k Pascal be enough to handle it?
can you give us the full detail on the procedure of making that device? thankyou
Amazing project, congratulations, i have a question though, does this pneumatic sensor work when a car slowly passes by?, i'm looking for a solution to detect a parked car in a parking lot so cars might be passing very slowly on the tube and the pressure might not be registered
Martín Medina Nualart
Hey Martin.
Have you found a solution yet?
I did traffic signals for over 15 years.
A solution I used to tell an ice cream vendor when a vehicle pulled up to the window was a loop.
A loop is a metal detector mounted into the ground.
These loops are used at traffic signal intersections to tell the CPU controller when cars are at the side streets, or in a left turn lane.
They are also used for counts.
These loops are basically a 6 X 6 square groove cut into the pavement, then filled with 2 passes of 14 gage wire,
then sealed with hot tar or loop sealant.
The ends of the wires are then connected to a detector, which is basically a metal detector.
At some intersections, we set the detection sensitive enough to detect bicycles.
If a vehicle was parked over a loop all night, you would get a steady "CALL" until the vehicle moved.
That's interesting, do you have an idea how to classify the passing vehicles to find out if it is a bicycle, car, truck, ... 2 axle, or more?
which type of connector used here for connecting road tube with pressure sensor?
Where did you get the hose? Any recommendations ? Will that hose withstand vehicle like sedans, and SUV?
This is a great project. Thanks for sharing it. I have a question, what would be the best way to have the Arduino store the data that can be viewed later instead of real time monitoring? I envision a running text file on the SD card.. something like that?
+Cody Deschenes Hi Cody, yes, that's how I would do it. Probably a CSV text file, so its easy to analyse later.
+Cody Deschenes Can you please help me, this is interesting and I want to make one for myself but I am new to this. I didn't understand what happens in the fast time lapse. How do you connect the wireless and how to get it to work? What model is it and where can I buy it from? Thanks
which tube can we use if santropene is not avaiblale?????
Is there any way you could provide me with an itemized list of every component used in the video?
Hey Kris, do you have any plans or videos that use 2 tubes and can measure speed of the vehicles and direction?
How did you print the counter to that black console?
Hi Kris, Congrats on a wonderful project. I'm looking to do similar, but as a Solar Power wireless 433 MHz remote controlled door chime when visitors come up the driveway. I've tried PIR and radar microwave but unfortunately both are susceptible to false triggering such as wind and sudden changes in background thermal radiation. Do you have an idea where to get suitable inexpensive tubing from for this project to tackle it from this type of sensor angle? Cheers Paul
I think it will work with any pvc/rubber tubing. A water hose etc will work. good luck! :)
@@KrisTemmermanNP Thanks for pointing this out, OK it then appears that the pressure level output from the tubing is not critical assuming the differential sensor has a wide input span range to work from.
can i have a list of all needed devices? please
how do you make it so two tires only counts as one vehicle? Shouldn't it count one per tire?
He's probably playing on the timing where two close activations are counted one. This would mean that more than one bike crossing at the same time would be counted as one as well. But overall, the idea is brilliant and the errors due to the timing would be very limited i guess.
really elegant! I wouldnt have thought of such a sensor if i had to build this :-) Does the software skip every second pulse because of the two tires per bike?
+Felix Dietz Thanks, Yes, it was something like that.
@@KrisTemmermanNPcan you help my with arduino program and with the application where the data is stored?
Hey im trying to make something for one of my classes that would be a little similar, i want to send an alarm off when someone crosses the tubes, any input would be great
Hey there Tyler, did you end up making the alarm for your class? I'm doing something similar to your project. I'm using the bike counter to trigger a piston that hit's an instrument. Curious what you came up with. happy to share notes.
Could you make one that counts trucks only?
I am doing a project that require me to to count and classifying them by type of car is there any chance you know the basic how to do it i would appreciate to try so . by the way that's a great video
i want too
What tube you used?
Fantastic project, well done! I'm building a pneumatic musical instrument and the design I'm considering is similar to what you've built but instead of counting bikes, I'm using each passing bike to trigger a piston to fire and hit an instrument. Bike music! Do you consult? I could use your assistance if possible and am happy to pay a reasonable consulting fee
Hello +Kris
Thanks for this video! Just what I was looking for!
I know this is very simple to make but I'm new to this world of DIY,
Do you have any details about what you do later? How do you enable it wirelessly, solder what to where, which Adruino Uno board and the prices of each component? I'm going to buy them and your price approximation will help me know I'm not being cheated.
I really really will appreciate your time in replying to me. Thanks
Hi, does this device work if the pipe is on soft ground?
If
At the same time 2 or more number of person passes through the sensor's tube ...then this project will not give correct reading!
And in case of of four wheeler what will be the reading!
Hey!! is the device up for sale? i am asking cause i am interested. Thanks :)
hassan kamal Sorry, It was part of a project i did for a client. So It's already sold :)
bent u vlaams? :) mooie projecten, knap gefilmd
Hey Quinten, Ja, ik ben van antwerpen. Danku! :)
Track ID?
how much do these cost $1595 ?
+Rich Cole If you make it yourself +- $70 in parts :)
wow that's amazing
+Rich Cole Can you please help me, this is interesting and I want to make one for myself but I am new to this. I didn't understand what happens in the fast time lapse. How do you connect the wireless and how to get it to work? What model is it and where can I buy it from? Thanks
(I have little background in practical electronics and I don't know what goes where, if you can spare some time to brief me, I would be very thankful)
please send ur contact nu
how much cost Indian rupe
I know it's been awhile but has anybody turn this into finding the speed of a vehicle
Hello, would you mind explaining the code in more detail please
