Category

Detector

Technology

Lidar - Single Beam Laser

DESCRIPTION

The RAM Series have been developed to prevent strikes and collisions against roads infrastructures such as bridges, tunnels, underpasses.

In fact, Infrastructure strikes are costly to both highway and road network operators; creating hours of delay and disruption. Therefore, it is mandatory to have an accurate system that warns drivers in advance if their vehicles exceed the maximum height approaching overhead structure.

Technical Features:

RAM 01 is the entry level product of the RAM series, suitable mainly for indoor applications or simple outdoor applications.

RAM01 is based on a single beam laser, with a high detection frequency (up to 1KHz) and a narrow angle to detect small objects.
The light emitted is reflected in order to be recognized by the receiver filtering the environmental light noises.

Installation:
RAM01 is installed on the road’s side and can detect overheight vehicle on 3-4 lanes and operates under night and day conditions.

Advantages of RAM01:

Compared to systems based on photocells with transmitter and receiver, the RAM series have the advantage of easy installation as they are placed at the road’s side; and they don’t need to collimate transmitter and receiver.

Alarm
RAM01 provides alarms in different ways when an over height vehicle is detected:

  • relay contact
  • digital output
