The Leddar One sensing module from Canadian LED-based detection technology supplier, 84 LeddarTech, is a more compact (50mm diameter) and low-cost alternative that the company claims brings valuable sensing intelligence to a whole new range of finished products.

Its focused, conic beam is said to offer excellent overall range and performance, adaptability, easy integration, low power consumption and high accuracy. The single-element sensing module is particularly suitable for applications such as level sensing, security and surveillance and proximity detection

Leddar One comes with dedicated Leddar Configurator configuration software and the Leddar Enabler SDK development kit, containing libraries and examples. The code can be easily ported to any system, resulting in fast integration of the sensor in the final application.

    Q-Free’s Andrew Lees looks at regional characteristics and technology trends in the global Weigh-In-Motion market. The principles of Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) are well established. Data derived from vehicles passing over in-ground sensors can be interpreted for vehicle classification (axle counts and spacing) and positive identification (especially when linked to image capture) applications as well as to derive individual axle and gross vehicle weight (GVW).
