High-speed rutting detector

INO, a world-class centre of expertise in industrial applications for optics and photonics, offers its laser rut easurement system (LRMS), a transverse profiling device that detects and characterises pavement rutting. The organisation says LRMS can acquire full 4m width profiles of a highway lane at normal traffic speeds (up to 100km/hr), using two laser profilers that digitise transverse sections of the pavement.

3388 INO, a world-class centre of expertise in industrial applications for optics and photonics, offers its laser rut measurement system (LRMS), a transverse profiling device that detects and characterises pavement rutting.

The organisation says LRMS can acquire full 4m width profiles of a highway lane at normal traffic speeds (up to 100km/hr), using two laser profilers that digitise transverse sections of the pavement.

Custom optics and high-power pulsed laser line projectors allow the system to operate in full daylight or in night-time conditions, and in order to keep a constant longitudinal sampling, the vehicle's odometer can be continually monitored.

Road transverse profile data can be collected and processed in real-time on board the vehicle. Rut extraction algorithms have been developed to automatically measure rut depth and width.

    Batsch Dynaweigh says its truck scales HHB01 and HHB02 for dynamic detection of overloaded vehicles has a legal verifiable accuracy of +/- 1% (class 2D). This meets the requirements of the OIML R134 regulations for automatic instruments for weighing road vehicles in motion and measuring axle loads.

    For Dynaweigh’s popular HHB01 and HHB02 scales – eight years in development – the total weight and axle loads are recorded automatically during crossing at up to 35km/h.

    In the coming age of the autonomous vehicle, fast and accurate LiDAR surveying will be increasingly important, explains Valdis Vanags. The game-changing introduction of autonomous vehicles relies not only on intelligent traffic systems but well maintained roads to help computer-guided systems navigate using road markings. Laser scanning technology, too, is a game changer when it comes to planning and executing many civil engineering projects, including transport network upgrades and smart city initiatives.
