Description
LT3001 is a vehicle detector based on two laser scanners. One scanner is installed in the middle of the lane and has a detection area parallel to the lane; the other is installed on the side of the lane and detects perpendicular to the road.
The longitudinal laser tracks the vehicle as it moves along the lane and measures its position, speed and length.
The transversal scanner measures the vehicles’ width, height and profile, providing an accurate classification of the transits.
LT3001 is able to distinguish more than 20 classes of vehicles including motorcycles, cars, vans, trucks, lorries, articulated lorries and buses.
The sensor has been built from both the mechanical and firmware points of view to work outdoors even in adverse weather conditions. The firmware implements filters for rain and snow.
The scanner optic consists of two physically distinct areas for laser transmission and reception, making it remarkably immune to the opacity produced by dust, water and pollution.
Each sensor is equipped with a CPU that processes the signals received from the scanner to obtain all the data related to the transited vehicle. One laser is configured as master and the other as slave, working together as a single detector.
Communication with the master sensor occurs via Ethernet and the configuration can be performed using simple and intuitive web pages.
In addition to the transit data, the LT3001 sensor also provides a file in 3D format that allows users to view the image of the transit from different perspectives.
