TIC501 Pro - Managing and analyzing traffic: Reliable counting and classification with one sensor over several lanes

SICK AG: The TIC501 Pro (Traffic Information Collector) profiling system is designed for traffic management and statistical applications in multi-lane, free-flowing traffic. The mounting position of the system components can be adapted easily to the local conditions, which allows the TIC501 Pro to be installed above the lane, between two lanes or next to the road on street lamps and poles. One TIC501 Pro can detect several lanes at the same time, reducing the installation and commissioning costs. The intuitive user interface guides the operator through the commissioning process in just a few steps. The measurement results are then displayed directly as a 3D point cloud, including the classification result.

TIC501 Pro profiling system: outstanding performance across every lane!

The TIC501 Pro is a very flexible system, which can be easily integrated into any traffic management system. It can accurately differentiate between up to 30 different vehicle classes simultaneously across several lanes, regardless of vehicle speed. It can also count the number of vehicles with high precision, even if they are frequently switching lanes. The Traffic Controller TIC uses laser measurement data to build a 3D model of the vehicle in question, which is then used to determine the vehicle class. The sensors are mounted either above the road on a portal or to the side on a gallows or pole depending on how many lanes need to be monitored. No components need to be built into the road surface and no road blocks are required as part of the installation process, which means that there shouldn't be any traffic disruptions. The TIC501 Pro is the perfect choice for managing and analyzing multi-lane, free-flowing traffic.

The TIC Pro family: perfectly combining innovation

The name SICK is synonymous with innovation in terms of the development of laser scanners. The new multi-echo technology means that your measurement applications will continue to run perfectly, whatever the weather. It also increases the reliability and accuracy of the data being captured. The TIC Pro family consists of the following systems: TIC1xx Pro and TIC501 Pro. The TIC1xx Pro is used all over the world to classify and count vehicles for electronic toll collection on roads with multiple lanes. The system can be combined with an additional LMS511 Traffic laser scanner for counting axles. The TIC501 Pro is the perfect choice for managing and analyzing traffic. Both systems are based on laser scanner technology and can be optimally combined. They have the same interface and identical configuration software. This makes installing both systems simultaneously on roads with multiple lanes easy.

Efficient, safe, and environmentally-friendly sensors for perfect traffic management

Modern road traffic management is all about safety, efficiency, and a sound environmental approach. Every road user wants to see a smooth flow of traffic without any hold-ups, accidents or long queues and wants to avoid having to worry about seeking out that one elusive parking space. Proper coordination of the various systems involved in traffic data collection, transmission, and processing, as well as traffic control, plays a vital role in effective traffic management. Rugged sensor solutions constitute the foundations of a reliable system for monitoring and controlling traffic. SICK has extensive experience in developing smart sensor solutions for traffic management. Its broad range of innovative and reliable products, combined with a global service and sales structure, makes SICK the market and technology leader in many areas of traffic data collection.
