Jenoptik is offering a new system which combines modern sensor technology for measuring distances and stereo image-processing and roadside-mounted cameras for recording and classifying trucks by detecting axle numbers.
The toll monitoring systems will be installed at the roadside without the need for gantries, limiting the impact on the environment.
The roadside-mounted cameras will take high-frequency photographs of individual sections of each passing truck and generate true-to-scale distortion-free profile images, enabling the dimensions of the truck to be measured and the number of axles determined. High resolution images will document any toll infringements and transmitted to Toll Collect for future processing.
All components for toll monitoring will be integrated into a housing based on Jenoptik’s TraffiTower 2.0. The modular housing can be quickly installed and individually adjusted, simplifying servicing and maintenance and protecting the system from bad weather or vandalism.
