69 International Road Dynamics (IRD) says its VectorSense sensor suite provides a new measurement technology for use in commercial vehicle operations, toll road operations and vehicle safety and traffic data collection applications.

VectorSense utilises in-road sensors to identify all vehicle classes, including motorcycles, three-wheelers and bicycles and delivers previously unavailable vehicle and traffic data including lane position information, single/dual and super single tyre measurement and identification of low pressure tyres, all at highway speed.

The tyre sensor suite can be used in open road tolling and can provide accurate measurements in stop-and-go traffic. The company says the device is complementary to its weigh-in-motion technology in bridge protection and truck tolling installations.
