Vehicle counting (traffic monitoring)
Traffic monitoring systems are spreading rapidly across Europe and the world. The need to monitor traffic flows arises from the need to manage the traffic system and create a statistical database to study the use of road infrastructure. For both reasons, vehicle classification is essential because each vehicle class (motorbike, car, van, heavy-duty vehicle, etc.) affects the traffic flow in different ways.
The data collected by the sensors is processed and sent to the server, allowing them to be viewed through reports, tables and charts. These statistics provide a complete overview of the traffic system including volume, type and flow of traffic. Information can be used to real-time traffic management and to study the data to fix and improve infrastructure.
Data collected:
- traffic volume;
- vehicle types;
- speed;
- road occupancy;
- traffic status (road congestion, slow traffic, free-flowing traffic, etc.).
Detailed traffic data for different times of day enable better understanding and improve the traffic flow in urban centers, roads and motorways. Comark offers a broad portfolio of sensors based on different technologies that cover different needs regarding accuracy and data collection.
Vehicle classification
One of the most important features of a traffic detector is the ability to classify vehicles with high accuracy.
Detectors classify vehicles according to several parameters depending on the technology used. Precision and accuracy play a crucial role in vehicle classification and laser scanner sensors are the best solution, providing the widest range of classes.
Even in applications such as traffic monitoring, gain valuable information about vehicles is essential, as each vehicle contribute differently to pollution, traffic flow and road degradation.
Comark’s classification solutions can be performed using different technologies. Below some examples of their working principles:
- Doppler radar sensors classify vehicles depending on the length;
- Ultrasound sensors classify vehicles depending on the height;
- Laser scanner sensors classify vehicles depending on the shape.
Sensors manufactured by Comark integrate one or more technologies in order to take advantages of each of them according to the specific application.
