Frequently asked questions
How much does a vehicle detection system cost?
Pricing is quoted per project. Cost depends on the technology, how many sensors and approaches you need, and the cabinet hardware involved. Send us the details and we will price it.
Which detection technology is best for my intersection?
It depends on the approach length, the zones you need and site conditions. Radar and video work above ground with no pavement cutting. Loops go in the pavement. Our team helps with product selection and application assistance.
Do you serve my area?
We sell and service across 11 Midwest states: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin. Our headquarters is in Woodridge, Illinois.
Will the detection work with our existing controllers?
Econolite EPIQ RADAR integrates using NEMA TS2 and ATC SDLC protocols. EDI loop detectors fit NEMA TS-1, TS-2, ATC, ITS and CALTRANS 33x cabinets. Tell us your cabinet and controller and we will confirm.
Can you detect bicycles and pedestrians too?
Yes. Autoscope OptiVu, EPIQ RADAR and Ouster lidar with BlueCity all detect and classify pedestrians and bicycles alongside vehicles.
Do you help after the sale?
Yes. TCC offers onsite troubleshooting, installation, maintenance and service plans, product and systems training, and technical support from factory-trained staff.
