Vehicle Classification & Compliance

Solution · Powered by Falcon & HawkScan

Vehicle Classification & Compliance

Measure, classify, identify, and record every vehicle on the roadway. Falcon gives you real-time classification and a verifiable record from a single sensor; HawkScan adds true width measurement for full height × width × length profiling and permit compliance.

Falcon · Vehicle Classification

Falcon is HyPoint's flagship measurement system: an advanced single-sensor platform that measures vehicle height, length, speed, lane position, and direction of travel in real time, generating a 3D point cloud and a verifiable, time-stamped record for every vehicle. Overview cameras are standard; LPR and USDOT readers are available as optional modules. Falcon deploys as fixed roadside infrastructure or on a portable trailer, and supports wrong-way detection and warning applications alongside its core dimensioning and classification role.

Reflectivity-mode LiDAR point cloud of a heavy-duty dump truck classified at highway speed — **Heavy-duty truck, classified.** A single roadside LiDAR resolves class, dimensions, and speed at posted highway speeds using the FHWA 13-category framework, with up to two additional client-defined categories, plus axle counting.

Capture, measure, alert. Falcon resolves height, length, speed, lane, and direction for every vehicle at highway speed, in one pass — across passenger, commercial, and oversize traffic alike.

Full Dimension Records

Height & length with speed, lane, direction, and timestamp on each vehicle.

Verifiable Events

Point cloud and imagery create an auditable digital twin for post-event review.

Camera Suite

Overview standard; LPR and USDOT reader modules optional.

Sensor-Agnostic Open API

Dimension, class, and event data feeds to roadside & central systems, built to integrate third-party sensors alongside HyPoint LiDAR.

HawkScan · Full Profiling & Permit Compliance

HawkScan expands the Falcon platform with a multi-LiDAR sensor configuration capable of accurate vehicle width measurement in addition to every Falcon capability. Designed for advanced freight analytics, oversize vehicle detection, permitting enforcement and compliance, and tolling integration, HawkScan delivers true multi-dimensional vehicle measurement and monitoring across multiple lanes of traffic.

Two HawkScan LiDAR sensors scanning a truck from opposing roadside positions, resolving a complete 3D wireframe of the vehicle including width — **Multi-sensor scan, in the field.** Two HawkScan LiDAR units capture the same vehicle from opposing vantage points, fusing into one complete 3D model that resolves width.

HawkScan, in the field. A loaded commercial vehicle captured and measured in real time, the multi-sensor dimensioning behind oversize-load verification and permit compliance.

True Width Measurement

Multi-sensor geometry resolves vehicle width, the dimension single-LiDAR systems can't capture.

Full Vehicle Profiling

Real-time height, width, length, speed, and direction across multi-lane roadway environments.

Permit Compliance

Oversize/overweight screening with verifiable dimension records for enforcement screening and review.

Camera & WIM Integration

Overview, LPR, and USDOT cameras plus weigh-in-motion scale integration.

Wrong-Way & OHVD

Inherits Falcon's over-height warning and wrong-way detection functionality.

Analytics & Reporting

Historical analytics and reporting for operations, compliance, and roadway safety programs.

Typical Applications

Vehicle Classification

FHWA classes, axle counts & spacing.

Automated Permit Verification

Dimension checks against issued OS/OW permits.

Toll Roads

Dimension & class data for tolling.

Freight Corridors

Volume, class, speed & dimension analytics.

Enforcement Screening

Verifiable records, LPR/USDOT capture.

Weigh-in-Motion Integration

HawkScan dimensions paired with WIM readings for full weight-and-size compliance.

Because HawkScan 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.

Need the live driver warning too?

Kestrel gives drivers the warning before a strike or a wrong-way entry happens. Falcon and HawkScan are the record behind it, vehicle dimensions, classification, speed, direction, and imagery, so every detection has evidence. See Bridge Strike Prevention or Wrong-Way Detection.
