Hi Everyone,
Hope you all are doing good!. I am working on Inductive loop sensors which are used to buried inside the ground in a form of saw cut loops and they are powered from a loop detector, when any vehicle passes over the loop then its inductance decreases and it gives a trigger to the loop detector. It works on the principle of mutual inductance as i said, the loop inside the ground is powered from loop detector(electronic unit), so it induces a magnetic field around it self, and when any vehicle passes its magnetic field changes and we get a trigger in our loop detector. I am using procon loop detector to perform this task. below link is the data sheet of the device.

I want to know:
1: What is the effect of temperature on the inductance of the loop and how much percent it affects the working of the loop detector.
2: How can we measure the loop inductance. Any tool?
3: Can I classify the vehicles using the loop sensor? means Trucks, cars, bikes
It would be great if you people gives your expert comments
