LSR2001–PROFILER

Description

The 3D profiling system can provide a high-resolution 3D file of the vehicles and measure their height, width, length and volume.
The system is composed of three LSR2001 laser scanners: two are installed on the left and right sides of a gantry, the third one is installed on a side pole (or on a second gantry).

The first two lasers continuously scan both sides and the top of the vehicle, while the third detects the position and movement. The result is a very accurate 3D detection of:

• Length
• Height
• Width
• Speed
• Profile
• Vehicle class

The system is also able to classify vehicles and give trigger signals when a vehicle begins and ends. It is based on the LSR2001 laser scanner, which has a scan angle of 96° and high definition (274 measurements in 96° with an angular resolution of 0.35°).

One of the three LSR2001 used in the profiling system acts as the master unit and combines the information provided by the other two to create an accurate 3D profile of the vehicle.

The transit data and the 3D file can be retrieved from the master unit through the Ethernet port.

INSTALLATION

The LSR2001-PROFILER system needs a gantry for the first two lasers: one on the right of the lane, one on the left of the lane and a third front laser.

If only one lane is to be monitored, the front laser can be installed horizontally on the side of the road on a pole of about one meter in height.

In the case of multi-lane monitoring, the front laser must be installed vertically, in the middle of each lane, on a second gantry.

3D IMAGE

The 3D file generated by the system is a “Point Cloud”, which is a standard for 3D images generated by lasers. Special software allows the image to be rotated to offer different points of view of the vehicle.
