▸
Please read this chapter carefully before you begin working with the profiling system.
2.1

and
he/she
•
Has access to and has read the operating instructions.
2.2
Applications of the system
The
Free Flow Profiler
profiling system is designed for automated measurement of vehicle
dimensions using eye-safe laser scanners. The system takes the measurements
automatically in free-flowing traffic without any need for manual operation.
The profiling system 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 modules available for the profiling system support the system functions described
below:
System function for measuring vehicle dimensions
The
Dimension Measurer
system function can be used to identify the following vehicle
data (depending on the system variant): length, width, height, speed, measurement start
and end times, 3D measuring points for the vehicle including – where applicable – excess
dimensions.
