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.”

    The adaptation of machine vision to transport applications continues apace. That the machine vision industry is taking traffic installations seriously is evident by the amount of hardware and software products tailor-made for ITS applications that are now available on the market. A good example comes from US-based Gridsmart Technologies which has developed a single wire fisheye camera that provides a horizon to horizon view for use at intersections. Not only does the single camera replace four or more in a

    Tattile says its intelligent camera Vega 1 is designed for single lane vehicle tracking, traffic-limited areas and priority lanes as well as congestion charging. Vega 1 comes with an automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) engine and its local storage is expected to allow the solution to work independently in case the connectivity is interrupted. The single lane intelligent traffic system provides colour video streaming via standard RTSP protocol. According to Tattile, the camera is expected to offer a
