ELECTRONIC OVERSIZE CONTROL

One of the transport control subsystems that can be used is oversize detection, typically by height but also by vehicle width and/or length. Furthermore, it is necessary to consider whether these measurements are made at low or high speed, since this conditions the use of IR technology in the former or laser in the latter case.

We work with top-tier sensors in both technologies to offer robust control solutions, which we currently have installed in Spain, Bolivia, Peru, etc. These laser sensors can have different configurations depending on the vehicle’s speed of travel, the type of dimension(s) to be detected and the level of accuracy.

These electronic oversize control systems have evolved significantly in recent years and they can also be effective in fog, rain and snow, where up to now we have always used piezoelectric sensors to detect axles and wheelbase and thus classify vehicles that could be problematic in narrow, usually two-way roadways.

KINEO has installed this type of bidirectional management system in three tunnels between 2007 and 2013, two in the Pyrenees and one in Cantabria, always in environments with difficult weather conditions.
