HawkScan
HawkScan expands the Falcon platform with LiDAR sensors on both sides of the road, adding accurate vehicle width measurement to every Falcon capability — in a fixed roadside installation.
Designed for advanced freight analytics, oversize vehicle detection, permitting enforcement and compliance, and tolling integration, HawkScan delivers true multi-dimensional vehicle measurement across multiple lanes of free-flowing traffic — nothing is installed in the pavement. HawkScan is a fixed roadside system, with solid-state LiDAR sensors mounted on poles or other fixed infrastructure on both sides of the road and connected to one roadside cabinet; there is no portable trailer option (see Falcon for portable deployments).
Built for integration partners.
HawkScan adds vehicle dimensions, imagery, and 3D scan data to the WIM, scale, ITS, and screening solutions you already offer. Partners handle the physical installation; HyPoint supports configuration, sensor alignment, commissioning, and ongoing diagnostics.
Scales to multi-lane sites.
Standard HawkScan runs two LiDAR sensors. Wider roadways and multi-lane sites can add a third or fourth sensor, with a PoE switch added to the cabinet, for full-width coverage across every lane.
One Vehicle, Four Views
Every HawkScan record includes a timestamped overview photo and a full 3D scan of the vehicle, viewable from the top, side, front, and in 3D in the web portal. This oversize load, captured on a public roadway in a single free-flowing pass, measured 105′ 1/2″ long, 14′1 5/8″ wide, and 14′10 1/2″ high.
Key Capabilities
True Width Measurement
Multi-sensor geometry resolves vehicle width, the dimension single-LiDAR systems can't capture.
Full Dimension Records
Height, width, and length, plus speed, lane, direction of travel, and a timestamp for every measured vehicle.
Free-Flow Measurement
Vehicles are measured as they pass in free-flowing traffic, with nothing installed in the pavement, where site configuration supports it.
Over-Height Warning Integration
Standard integration with trigger warning signs and beacons, inherited from the Falcon platform.
Open API
Delivers vehicle records to your existing WIM, scale, ITS, or screening platform in real time.
WIM & Scale Integration
Pairs time-stamped dimension records with weigh-in-motion and scale data through partner system integration.
Optional Features
Ideal Applications
Automated Permit Verification
Dimension checks against issued OS/OW permits.
Commercial Vehicle Enforcement
Screening & verifiable records for action.
Freight Data Collection
Corridor-level profiling for freight planning.
Tolling by Dimensions
Class-by-dimension tolling & data feeds.
Oversize Routing Analysis
Network-level OS/OW movement insight.
Weigh-in-Motion Integration
Pairs HawkScan dimension data with WIM scale readings for full weight-and-size compliance screening.
How Multi-Sensor Profiling Works
Synchronized Capture
Multiple LiDAR sensors scan the vehicle simultaneously from opposing vantage points.
Point-Cloud Fusion
Edge processing merges the views into one complete 3D model of the vehicle.
Dimension Extraction
Height, width & length measured from the fused model with speed & lane.
Compliance Record
Time-stamped, image-backed record posted to the portal & your systems via API.
HawkScan provides verifiable dimension records suitable for permit screening, enforcement review, and freight analytics. And because it shares Falcon's hardware platform, portal, and API, agencies can mix systems across a corridor: Falcon at standard monitoring sites, HawkScan where full-dimension compliance matters, and manage everything through one interface. Multi-lane sites can scale to three or four sensors, and HyPoint provides remote installation assistance, commissioning support, and ongoing diagnostics for every deployment.
