Claim 18:
19. A vehicle detection system, comprising:
a first distance sensor oriented towards a first point of interest, wherein the first distance sensor is configured to detect an object passing the first distance sensor;
a second distance sensor oriented towards a second point of interest, wherein the second distance sensor is configured to detect the object passing the second distance sensor, wherein a distance between the first point of interest and the second point of interest is shorter than a vehicle length; and
a microcontroller in communication with the first distance sensor and the second distance sensor, wherein the microcontroller is configured to detect when a first distance reading detected by the first distance sensor is less than a first threshold value for the first distance sensor, and wherein the microcontroller is configured to detect when a second distance reading detected by the second distance sensor is less than a second threshold value for the second distance sensor;
wherein the microcontroller is configured to determine that the object is an actual vehicle when the first distance reading is less than the first threshold value and the second distance reading is less than the second threshold value.
