Vitronic develops gantry-less free-flow tolling

German tolling and machine vision specialist Vitronic has developed a technology for free-flow toll collection and enforcement that uses an optical identification and classification method installed at the side of the road and does not rely on gantry infrastructure.

German tolling and machine vision specialist 147 Vitronic has developed a technology for free-flow toll collection and enforcement that uses an optical identification and classification method installed at the side of the road  and does not rely on gantry infrastructure.

For easy installation, the new system is integrated in Vitronic’s City Design housing, which contains the complete sensor array and processing technology including vehicle-to-infrastructure communication-based on EETS compatible DSRC or on RFID.  Additional features include an electronic two-way locking system, video surveillance vandalism protection and a 4G-ready wireless connection and the system is compatible with Vitronic’s Tollchecker 4 enforcement back office software.

The new system delivers high-resolution images for front and rear ANPR and classification of vehicles based on size, type and axle count, as well as the automatic reading of vehicle markings like hazardous goods stickers or labels on trucks and trailers. All sensor data is automatically analysed on-site and compiled into complete reports that can be verified against existing tolling accounts or processed for billing.

    For some, machine vision is the coming technology. For others, it’s already here. Although it remains a relative newcomer to the ITS sector, its effects look set to be profound and far-reaching. Encapsulating in just a few short words the distinguishing features of complex technologies and their operating concepts can sometimes be difficult. Often, it is the most subtle of nuances which are both the most important and yet also the most easily lost. Happily, in the case of machine vision this isn’t the case:

    Jenoptik’s Uwe Urban looks at the advantages of ‘sensor fusion’ for the ITS sector. When considering the ideal sensing and monitoring system to enable the ITS sector to deliver improvements in mobility and road safety, for general policing security and border protection, we have to think beyond radar-base systems or laser scanners. What is needed today are solutions for detecting and tracking vehicles while recording evidence to deacide if any action is necessary. There is no sole sensor capable of
