In the following figure, the mounting position is too high and, because the laser scanner
is too close to the edge of the lane, the angle of incidence is too steep. This means that
fewer measurement points are generated in the analysis area (shadow pattern, point
pattern for the wheels).
Fig. 57: Axle counting project planning – Angle of incidence for the LMS Axle (too steep)
The following figure shows the combination of the vertical and horizontal distance for the
LMS Axle that generates the best measurement results.
Fig. 58: Axle counting project planning – Ideal mounting position for the LMS Axle
The chart can be interpreted as follows:
•
The dark green triangle (1) marks the area where the LMS Axle will achieve the best
possible performance.
•
A mounting position within the light green triangle (2) will provide good to very good
results.
•
If the LMS Axle is mounted within the gray area (3), the system's ability to count axles
accurately will be reduced.
