The Problem with Inductive Loops
Conventional inductive loops are costly to install and disruptive to maintain. Every repair means cutting into the road surface and interrupting traffic. Even when they work perfectly, they provide only limited data such as basic counts and classifications, without context about what actually happens on the road. Cities need a flexible, high-precision alternative that delivers richer insights without infrastructure work.
The Flow Analytics by AGC Approach
Flow Analytics introduces virtual loops powered by LiDAR sensing.
Mounted on existing poles or light structures, our system defines detection zones digitally, just like loops, but with far more detail.
It tracks every vehicle and vulnerable road user in 3D space, providing counts, speeds, trajectories, and even near-miss events.
Everything is configurable from software, so your detection layout can evolve as the intersection changes.
Old Way vs. New Way
Where Virtual Loops Make a Difference
No Roadworks or Interruptions
Deploy quickly on existing infrastructure without closing lanes.
Flexible and Scalable
Redefine or relocate detection zones in minutes.
Richer and More Actionable Data
Measure not only flow and turning movements but also safety indicators like near misses.
Lower Total Cost of Ownership
Reduce installation, maintenance, and downtime while improving decision quality.

Recent Virtual Loops Implementation
Flow Analytics by AGC has recently deployed LiDAR-based virtual loops in Jyväskylä, Finland, to support the city’s transition toward smarter traffic management. The system provides precise vehicle detection and movement data at intersections, helping optimize signal control without any roadworks or disruption. In Oulu, Flow Analytics by AGC is running a separate project that uses the same LiDAR sensing platform to detect near misses and analyze interactions between vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians, enabling the city to enhance road safety proactively. Together, these initiatives show how advanced sensing technology can serve both efficient traffic control and preventive safety management across different urban contexts.
