FINDING THE MISSING LINK : ELECTRONIC ROAD PRICING AND VEHICLE ID

This article describes a motorway link north of the Belgian town of Liege between E40 and E25 that relies on an LPR-based road user- charging scheme. Nearly 1.8 million cars and trucks travel on the link to avoid the center of town. The link is equipped with detection instruments for vehicle identification, counting and classification as well as passage ticket dispensers. An identification system counts and classifies the vehicles, identifies license plates and detects onboard electronic road-pricing tags. This requires three cameras, two road- pricing beacons and one classification laser for one traffic lane. The author describes how a laser beam sensor is used for classification and a programmable automaton carries out data integration, time indication and synchronization.
