The TICx02 (traffic information controller) profiling system accurately classifies vehicles in free-flowing traffic. The vehicles are scanned up to 100 times a second using eye-safe 2D LiDAR sensors. The measurement data can be used to generate a 3D model of each vehicle. The system can also be expanded to include axle counting functionality. The TICx02 uses the recorded database for classifiying vehicles in up to 30 classes. The identification of vehicle speed and direction of movement rounds out the detection of traffic data.
