Tattile launches Axle Counter

Tattile has launched an automatic system for determining the number of axles on a vehicle for tolling solutions. Axle Counter records the axles of any vehicle - driving at speeds up to 180km/h - in order to help toll operators allocate the correct charges.

The company says the gantry-mounted, standalone system ensures that no post-processing of pictures is necessary.

Two cameras per lane are included to ensure left- and right-sight. An infrared illuminator allows night-time operation, with all image analysis - including the use of artificial intelligence to recognise the axle and wheel as well as counting - done on board in real time.

Tattile says: “Until now axle counting still has not found a smart solution, as in existing systems many times human interpretation of a picture taken at a toll station is still needed. Thus the final step was missing to completely automate this process through the use of image analysis.”

    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:
