Challenge
The customer needed a modern method to accurately identify and classify different types of vehicles, including cars, trucks, and buses, to implement various toll rates and pricing strategies. Traditional identification methods were inefficient and error-prone, necessitating a more reliable and efficient solution.
Solution: Laser Sensors
They chose the DADISICK Highway Automatic Vehicle Classification Light Curtains QLV Series as their solution. These curtains employ advanced optical sensing technology to precisely detect the height, length, and wheelbase of vehicles.
Working Principle
At the entrances to toll booths on the highway, QLV Series light curtains are strategically installed, creating an invisible laser barrier. As vehicles pass through, the curtains scan the vehicle's characteristics and transmit the data to a central control system.
Results:
After implementing the QLV Series light curtains, the highway management authority achieved significant results. They could accurately and in real-time identify vehicle types, automatically categorize them based on their characteristics, and ensure proper toll collection. This automation process substantially reduced human errors, improved toll accuracy, and reduced traffic congestion.
