Abstract :
Highway toll control requires automated and real-time classification of fast-moving motor vehicles. In this article, we present a modular software solution to the technical problem of how to classify vehicles on a highway with a tollgate equipped with a laser scanner with an angular resolution of 1° and a frame rate of 75 Hz. At a typical cruising speed, a time window of less than 300 ms is available for scanning one vehicle.
