A vehicle detection system for monitoring stationary and moving vehicles is disclosed. The vehicle detection system includes a housing and a first sensor and a second sensor each configured to detect the moving vehicles. A control unit, and a first energy store as well as a second energy store configured to supply the vehicle detection system with electrical energy independently of one another are also provided. The control unit is designed in such a way that the first sensor is permanently switched on during operation of the vehicle detection system and the second sensor is only switched on for a predetermined time when the first sensor has detected a vehicle. The control unit is designed in such a way that, when the voltage of the first energy store falls below a first predetermined voltage, the vehicle detection system is supplied with electrical energy by the second energy store.

In a columnar-shaped magnetic marker including a magnet formed by dispersing a magnetic powder of iron oxide in a polymer material and to be laid in a road without being accommodated in a metal container, one end face of an outer peripheral surface and an entire outer peripheral side surface of magnet are covered with metal foil forming a conductive layer, and an RFID tag which performs wireless communication with a tag reader mounted on a vehicle side is arranged on the end face of magnetic marker provided with metal foil as being in a state of being electrically insulated from metal foil.
