Traffic 

SICK offers a wide range of non-invasive products for today’s high-tech traffic applications to reduce costs and improve traffic flow, such as enabling vehicle separation and profile measurement. Laser-based solutions from SICK are engineered to withstand tough outdoor environments, are easy to set up and require minimal maintenance. Innovative time-of-flight measurement technology ensures reliable system availability.

Easily classify vehicles according to type, length, size of vehicles, or number of axles with laser-based solutions from SICK. Mounted overhead, these non-invasive sensors provide reliable vehicle profiles to differentiate between vehicle types in order to optimize open road toll collection.

Ensure a car or truck is identified by accurately detecting the leading and trailing edge of a vehicle. Technology from SICK can detect trailer hitches in the most difficult environmental conditions, including downpouring rain and a tall spray of water (rooster tails). The correct toll is collected every time, maximizing revenue in toll booth applications.

Sensors from SICK help control traffic and by monitoring dangerous traffic conditions. Vehicles that are too high can be detected before they enter tunnels and bridges, preventing accidents. Other applications include tracking vehicles in intersections and enabling vehicle counting in tunnels for better traffic monitoring.
