79 Jenoptik is to supply German truck toll operator 485 Toll Collect with up to 600 toll payment monitoring systems by mid-2018 for the planned extension of compulsory truck tolls on Germany’s highways.

Jenoptik is offering a new system which combines modern sensor technology for measuring distances and stereo image-processing and roadside-mounted cameras for recording and classifying trucks by detecting axle numbers.

The toll monitoring systems will be installed at the roadside without the need for gantries, limiting the impact on the environment.

The roadside-mounted cameras will take high-frequency photographs of individual sections of each passing truck and generate true-to-scale distortion-free profile images, enabling the dimensions of the truck to be measured and the number of axles determined. High resolution images will document any toll infringements and transmitted to Toll Collect for future processing.

All components for toll monitoring will be integrated into a housing based on Jenoptik’s TraffiTower 2.0. The modular housing can be quickly installed and individually adjusted, simplifying servicing and maintenance and protecting the system from bad weather or vandalism.

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
