This chapter provides information that concerns your own safety as well as the safety of
the plant operator.
▸
Please read this chapter carefully before you begin working with the Traffic Information
Collector.
2.1
Qualified safety personnel
The Traffic Information Collector must only be mounted, commissioned, and maintained
by adequately qualified personnel.
A person is considered qualified safety personnel if he/she
•
Has sufficient skills in the field of the respective equipment based on his/her technical
training and experience
and
•
Has been instructed by the manufacturer on system operation and all applicable safety
guidelines
and
•
Is familiar with all relevant country-specific occupational safety regulations, work safety
regulations, guidelines, and generally accepted technical rules and standards (e.
g.,
DIN standards, VDE regulations, country-specific rules) to such an extent that he/she is
able to evaluate the safe condition of the power-driven machinery
and
he/she
•
Has access to and has read the operating instructions.
2.2
Applications of the system
The Traffic Information Collector is a system for vehicle classification on multi-lane roads
with eye-safe 2D LiDAR sensors. The system takes the measurements automatically in
free-flowing traffic without any need for manual operation.
The TIC is designed for use in multi-lane, free-flowing traffic and stop-and-go traffic as part
of electronic toll systems. It can also be used for traffic management and analysis.
The Traffic Information Collector is available in the TIC102, TIC502 and TIC501 variants.
All three variants classify vehicles in up to 30 vehicle classes in accordance with the
specified category system and outputs vehicle data such as length, width and height as
well as speed.
The TIC102 and TIC502 profiling systems can be supplemented with a system function
for automated axle counting.
In addition
to the vehicle class and vehicle data, the number
of axles, the position of the axles and, if necessary, the height above the first axle are
determined.
Data output
All the data recorded by the individual system functions are made available via a TCP/IP
interface (TEMS Info interface).
