Configuring system functions for axle counting
If single-lane monitoring with axle counting is selected in the configuration wizard, the 2D
LiDAR sensor is responsible for not only the
LMS Width
system component, but also the
LMS Axle
(shared function).
While this is, of course, one and the same device from a physical perspective, the system
components are handled entirely separately in terms of data technology. For this reason,
two system components are depicted in the tree, although the same sensor is assigned to
both.
As only one 2D LiDAR sensor can be positioned and calibrated, it is recommended to
position and calibrate the
LMS Width
and then transfer the calibration values to the
LMS
Axle
system component.
Positioning and calibrating the LMS Width
Define the exact position and rotation of the
LMS Width
position and rotation of the 2D LiDAR sensors
1. Go to the component level in the navigation tree and click the
Edit system component
position
icon. The position and angle can be defined using either the slide controls or
by entering the values manually.
The live view shows that the symbol for the LMS Width system component is positioned
according to your input. The graphic symbol for the LMS Axle system component remains
in the same position.
The two symbols had been overlapping in the default position.
When entering the position, please observe the alignment of the coordinate system:
•
The X-axis lies straight across the width of the road. The first distance parameter X
is measured from the origin of the right-hand edge of the lane (when viewed in the
direction of travel).
•
The Y-axis defines the height at which the laser 2D LiDAR sensors is mounted. The
second distance parameter Y is measured from the surface of the road.
•
The Z-axis points in the direction of travel. The third distance value is measured in
relation to the measuring plane of the sensor components (when viewed in the
direction of travel).
