HawkScan

Oversize vehicle measurement system

Revolutionizing oversized vehicle detection

Hawkscan is a pioneering system at the forefront of oversized vehicle identification and data analytics for enhanced road safety. Combining advanced LiDAR sensors with precision cameras, Hawkscan dynamically calculates the 3D dimensions of vehicles in motion at posted speeds. Hawkscan serves as a valuable tool for state troopers, aiding in identifying vehicles that may exceed regulatory size limits and warranting additional scrutiny.

HyPoint’s measurement solution

The HawkScan solution measures and classifies vehicles during normal traffic flow. Eye-safe LiDAR sensors scan objects 75 times a second, enabling fully-automated length, width, and height measurement with the vehicle speed and movement direction. The measurement data recorded to generate a 3D model for each vehicle, visualizing excessive heights, widths, and lengths. Also, the solution enables the counting of axles, axle spacing, and vehicle type.

Benefits of the HawkScan system

System components and specifications

System components

Sensors mounted on a pole standard capture vehicles in a single lane of travel at controlled speeds. Trucks are scanned in real-time by the sensors, which consist of three LiDAR (laser) scanners and one high-resolution camera.

System specifications

  • HawkScan is designed to work in an outdoor environment and features sensor heaters and fog correction.
  • The operating temperatures are -40 degrees (F) to 140 degrees (F).
  • The eye-safe, infrared sensors have a scanning frequency of 100Hz, providing a high-resolution point cloud for each vehicle.

Data dashboard

A web-based dashboard display transactions in real-time, compiling all crossings in a list format by occurrence. The displayed data includes the vehicle’s classification, height, length, width, a single overview image, the vehicle license plate, the axle count and dimensioning, and a timestamp.
