It all began in 1996 with the innovative idea of company founder Fred Motzko to “detect pressure with light” and the first use of fiber optic technology in the intelligent transport sector. The applications of this technology are diverse, both in road and rail transportation/traffic sector.
Since 1996, more than 70,000 systems with Sensor Line in-road sensors have been installed and operated in around 50 countries worldwide by our main target groups, system integrators for e.g. tolling solutions, automated vehicle counting/classification and many other applications. The advanced technological developments as well as the high quality and reliability of the products have made Sensor Line a global leader in the field of fiber optic traffic sensors.
Sensor Line products impress on the one hand with their highly developed and sophisticated design and on the other hand with their simple operation. The fiber optic traffic sensors basically consist of deformation sensors that generate a load-dependent output signal. This principle makes them absolutely immune to any kind of electromagnetic influences. The absence of mechanical components reduces maintenance requirements to an absolute minimum. The fiber optic traffic sensors from Sensor Line have a very high accuracy and are extremely reliable.
The team around Jürgen Dichtl (MD) consists of 10 specialists in the field of fiber optic sensor technology. They work on Sensor Line products and applications and develop pioneering applications for road and rail transportation. Sensor Line has very high standards in the production process and has been continuously delivering high quality products to its customers all over the world since 1996. The company headquarter, development department and production line are located under one roof in Schrobenhausen, Germany. From here, fiber optic road and rail traffic products are delivered all over the world.
The acquisition of Sensor Line by Quarterhill/IRD in 2021 is a further milestone for the distribution of Sensor Line products to customers worldwide and the strengthening of tolling solutions as well as safety and enforcement applications.
Sensor Line fiber optic technology is as fascinating as it is simple. The technically sophisticated products are individually configurable and offer a wide range of applications in road and rail transportation and traffic.
