Three common types of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) include pressure plate IEDs, which detonate when weight is applied; command-detonated IEDs, triggered remotely by a person; and roadside bombs, often hidden in vehicles or along roadsides to target passing vehicles or personnel. Each type utilizes various triggering mechanisms and explosive materials, posing significant threats in conflict zones and areas of terrorism.
Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) can be categorized into three main types: Command-Detonated IEDs - These devices are triggered by the operator using a remote control, such as a switch or a cellphone. Victim-Operated IEDs - These are triggered by the presence or action of a person, such as stepping on a pressure plate or pulling a tripwire. Time-Delay IEDs - These devices are set to explode after a predetermined delay, allowing the perpetrator to leave the area before detonation.
Other IEDs may use military and commercial explosives, such as trinitrotoluene (TNT), ammonium nitrate (fertilizer), and fuel oil (ANFO).

Since there are several different types of IEDs, it's safest to avoid any devices instead of trying to disarm them.

Those could be rigged to be detonated by cellular phones, wire or by the weight of the person or vehicle.
