11 EExxeeccuuttiivvee SSuummmmaarryy We have pleasure in submitting our proposal for the INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE OF A FULLY INTEGRATED WEIGHBRIDGE SYSTEM AT VARIOUS PIKITUP (PTY) LTD SITES, namely; Robinson Landfill Site, Marie Louise Landfill Site, Goudkoppies Landfill Site,

Ennerdale Landfill Site, Panorama Compost Plant Site, and Incinerator Plant Site

(incorporated into Robinson Landfill Site in our documentation). Through the rollout of the

Weighbridge Systems on offer in this proposal we will ensure a cost effective reliable and

efficient solution with limited but effective maintenance and costs for Pikitup � JHB. Our

optimal goal is to achieve availability beyond 99.95%.

Sub Saharah Scales is committed to provide superior service to our clients. The leadership

status we have already achieved in most sectors of industry is a result of our dedication to

service excellence. With the combination of our extensive experience, knowledge and

management skills in the industrial fields, and international affiliate and partner support

available to us, Sub Saharah Scales is well positioned to provide the most innovative and

cost effective service to our clients. In developing this proposal we have comprehensively

analysed the requirements for each site and ascertained that the following will be the correct

solution for Pikitup-JHB;

Robinson Landfill Site Phase 1 � the existing 3 (three) weighbridges at the entrance gates

will not require immediate replacement but rather upgrading. These upgrades will be both

electronic and mechanical repairs. The Incinerator Weighbridge only requires the office

equipment as Indicator, etc.. Back Office link up to be phased immediately thereafter. Time

frame to operational status to SABS Specification � 14-20 work days from tender award.

Phase 2 – new weighbridge installation will be phased in over the next 3 months and will

include if required 3 new weighbridges at the front entrances, but the incinerator weighbridge

will not be replaced. Phase 3 – back office installation, tire shredders, booms, integration,

camera systems etc. will be phased in from Phase 1 starting date.

Marie Louise Landfill Site Phase 1 � the existing 2 (two) weighbridges at the entrance

gates will not require immediate replacement but rather upgrading. These upgrades will be

both electronic and mechanical repair. Back Office link up to be phased immediately



thereafter. Time frame to operational status to SABS Specification � 15-25 work days from

tender award. This includes an additional extra 2 load cells per weighbridge, which will be

used as spares or on a third weighbridge once the 2 weighbridges have been shortened to

12x3M each. Phase 2 – new weighbridge installation will be phased in over the next 3

months and will include if required 2 new weighbridges at the front entrances. Phase 3 –

back office installation, tire shredders, booms, integration, camera systems etc. will be

phased in from Phase 1 starting date.

Goudkoppies Landfill Site Phase 1 � the existing 2 (two) weighbridges at the entrance




tender awar. Phase 2 – new weighbridge installation will be phased in over the next 3

months and will include if required 2 new weighbridges at the front entrances. Phase 3 – back office installation, tire shredders, booms, integration, camera systems etc. will be


Ennerdale Landfill Site Phase 1 � the existing weighbridge at the entrance gates will not

require immediate replacement but rather upgrading. These upgrades will be both electronic

and mechanical repair. Back Office link up to be phased immediately thereafter. Time frame

to operational status to SABS Specification � 12-23 work days from tender award. The

current situation requires immediate emergency repair on a loadcell to become fully

operational, whereafter Phase 1 should commence. Phase 2 – new weighbridge installation

will be phased in over the next 3 months and will include if required a new weighbridge at the

front entrance. Phase 3 – back office installation, tire shredders, booms, integration, camera

systems etc. will be phased in from Phase 1 starting date.

Panorama Compost Site Phase 1 � the existing weighbridge at the entrance gates will not



to operational status to SABS Specification � 5-10 work days from tender award. Phase 2 – new weighbridge installation will not be required at all unless the weighbridge is too small or

short whereby an extension will be required for 6M and an electronics upgrade. Phase 3 – back office installation, tire shredders, booms, integration, camera systems etc. will be




This proposal is based on a three-year contract period, after which, the contract is negotiable

for renewal or could be terminated upon which a closure cost is determined and recovered

as deems fit and agreed to by both parties as WIP (Work In Progress) will have to be taken

into consideration.

We have selected the following three sites as reference sites and referrals:

1. Independent Freight Carriers � Pretoria Heavy Haulage & Transportation Sector

Contact: Martin De Beer - 083 453 1203

Consists of 2 weighbridges handling up to 250 payloads/day

2. Vriesland Saai Kudde � Vryburg Construction Sector

Contact: Jop Fourie � 082 777 7491

Consists of 4 weighbridges used for brick weighing

3. MC Engineering � Harrismith Diversified Agricultural Sector

Contact: Mikkie Coetzee � 082 773 9995

Consists of 13 weighbridges which are installed throughout South Africa, and

are handling about 1000 transactions per day.

At all these sites we have obtained experience which could benefit Pikitup, as volume

flows over the weighbridges are very similar.

Sub Sahara Scales is a multifaceted company with global interests and support to

accommodate this project. We have numerous projects which are ongoing at

different locations with credible clients as MacDonald�s Transport (R200k and

ongoing), MBFI Mozambique (R1,2M and ongoing), ACSA (R4,5M), Wonderboom

Airport (R2,7M), Jacobs Equipment, Blue Chip Snacks, Okiep Mine, Limpopo Scrap

Metals, etc.. Sub Saharah Scales has strategic partners in associated businesses

wherein we are confident that we can improve the utilization of the current

weighbridge systems. In addition and in the spirit of partnership, Sub Saharah Scales

jointly with Pikitup, can facilitate third party work for HDI, BEE or similar entities, for

example a cleaning service at the weighbridge sites, to name but one example.



Sub Saharah Scales has identified the market requirement for specialized

maintenance technology and services and we have grown this into one of our core

businesses. Sub saharah Scales has become a leader in the field of providing �One-

Stop-Maintenance� solutions in the weigh and mass sectors, and has affiliation and

support from other scale companies as SASCO Africa, Scales Incorporated, etc.. for

whom Sub Saharah Scales provide maintenance support and services. This market

exposure has enabled Sub Saharah Scales to continuously improve our experience

base and provide us with the ability to measure our practices and procedures under

�best practice principles�. We are able to structure our services to harness this

experience base and to provide our workforce with a growth and development path,

international exposure and job security.

Sub Saharah Scales has found that the maintenance activities cannot be treated as a

separate entity as it has direct influence on the effectiveness of the core business. In

view of this we base our development of the maintenance on your business goals

where your operational requirements are considered.

We guarantee that we will add value to your concern, which will result in a mutually

beneficial partnership to both organizations.

The financial offering for the advanced weigh bridge solution is provided

as:

- A once off capital amount and monthly fully comprehensive maintenance plan

OR - An alterative bid 1: rental option

OR - An alternative bid 2: cost per transaction solution

2.1 Background

PIKITUP has a number of facilities that accept a wide range of different types of waste from both the

local and extended area. The proposed WASTE WATCH solution is designed to log all transactions,

obtain the required weight and bill the owner of the vehicle, to ensure that businesses meet the proper

costs of disposing of their waste. The "WASTE WATCH" System supplies a cost-effective means of

managing and enforcing the legal disposal of waste by:

• Using Automatic Number Plate Recognition ANPR to record the number of times a vehicle uses a recycling centre/s

• Providing a central database that will store all vehicle records

• Providing an automated method of issuing permits/vouchers via the internet

• Providing an automated method for commercial companies to pay for permits/vouchers via the Internet

• Freeing staff at waste sites from having to check the credentials of suspect vehicles - valid permit holders being alerted to staff via SMS message or equivalent

• Providing a 'Managed System' reducing cost and management overhead

• Giving the ability to share data between local authorities, preventing companies from illegally obtaining permits/vouchers

• Providing optional monitoring cameras for the detection of illegal 'fly tipping'

• Providing enforcement software for the prosecution of fly tippers

Figure 1 Typical Waste Watch Solution

PIKITUP will be provided with a fully functional, integrated weighbridge system which will:

Enrol existing & new customers by name, access card, finger print, account no., billing

details, vehicle license plate, and tare weight. The proposed Waste Watch solution will

provide for the integration of access card hardware to electronically capture tare weights of

vehicles, removing an manual intervention. A wide range of communication links (GPRS,



Wireless, Ethernet and fibre) between the local weighbridge�s and the other sites is provided,

linking to Pikitup�s HO IT systems. These communication links allow over 99.95% availability

to automated database update in real time for accurate and reliable billing purposes. This is

essential for the provision for a block out system; ensure non paying customers are

prevented from having access.

The database provides standardised weighbridge tariffs of Rx per 1000 kg inclusive of VAT

and integrates with Pikitup�s current Venus Financial system / SAP. The database stores

tare weights of the accountholder vehicles and allows real time update of all data as

required. The ability to identify outside parameter tare weights and force the vehicle to be

reweighed ensures no illegal tare weights are permitted (where a tare weight is obtained with

a vehicle filled with water). The database allows for the determination of an unlimited waste

characterisation by allowing for a multiple of different waste categories to be captured. A

wide range of automated reports for ease of analysis and reporting can be created and is

demonstrated.

The fully automated boom gates are opened via license plate recognition or with an

electronic access enabled once customer has swiped the electronic access card reader or a

PIN code or a finger print. All linked to tyre slashes preventing drive through and enabling a

cashless operation. The type of waste is recorded and displayed to the operator, along with

recording real time tonnages (data) with tare weight deduction. The ability to operate each

weigh bridge in both directions facilities weigh bridge access efficiencies, along with free exit

once off loaded.

2.2 Scope

The integrated, comprehensive solution proposed includes either an upgrade or a new weigh

bridge per site. All weigh bridges will be installed with software which will monitor the status

of the weigh bridge. SYSTEM OPERATION: NEW USER Enrol using the Pikitup�s web site or on arrival on site or at the HO. Provide billing details,

license plate no�s of vehicles, name, contact details, no of vehicles etc. Select how to pay

(debit from credit card) or on account or cash etc. User selects how they want to receive the

account, weekly, monthly, on exit, by SMS or via the web site or via E-Mail. Field created for

an image of the vehicle, plus driver image, weight, etc. User selects if they wish to use an



access card (cost for this) or fingerprint (free) linked to a code or all 3 access control

systems.

EXISTING USER Enters site, load is captured and recorded (if an open vehicle). If closed, records an image of

the vehicle. Approaches weigh bridge; 6M from the boom vehicle license plate is captured

from both front and rear. The license plate number is sent to the database. If no license

plate is present, an image of the vehicle is sent to the database. Driver stops at the access

control reader. If a car, uses lower point. If a truck, uses higher access reader. Driver could

then, swipe a card OR enter a pin (account no) OR place his finger on the reader or do a

combination of all three. If allowed to proceed (account paid) boom opens, grippa bars

retract and driver moves forward onto the weigh bridge. Once the weight of the vehicle is

captured and the type of waste determined, boom on the exit open and driver can enter the

site.

On exit, if the vehicle tare weight is in the system, deduction occurs automatically and the

vehicle does not need to exit over the weigh bridge. The driver would approach the exit lane.

6M from the boom vehicle license plate is captured from both front and rear. The license

plate number is sent to the database. If no license plate is present, an image of the vehicle

is sent to the database. Driver stops at the access control reader. If a car, uses lower point.

If a truck, uses higher access reader. Driver could then, swipe a card OR enter a pin

(account no) OR place his finger on the reader or do a combination of all three. If allowed to

proceed (account paid) boom opens, grippa bars retract and driver moves forward and exits

site. The invoice can be collected at that time or e-mailed or an SMS can be sent to the

driver / owner.

On exit, if the vehicle tare weight is NOT in the system vehicle is required to exit over the

weigh bridge. The driver would approach the exit weigh bridge lane. 6M from the boom

vehicle license plate is captured from both front and rear. The license plate number is sent

to the database. If no license plate is present, an image of the vehicle is sent to the

database. Driver stops at the access control reader. If a car, uses lower point. If a truck,

uses higher access reader. Driver could then, swipe a card OR enter a pin (account no) OR

place his finger on the reader or do a combination of all three. If allowed to proceed (account

paid) boom opens, grippa bars retract and driver moves forward and onto the weigh bridge.

Weigh calculated and entered into the system automatically. The invoice can be collected at

that time or e-mailed, printed off the web site or an SMS can be sent to the driver / owner.



USER WITH OVERDUE ACCOUNT No access is granted and user can settle account on site before proceeding.

The proposed back office system is a complete weighbridge Internet Data hosting and

reporting portal specifically designed for the waste disposal and waste management industry.

An unlimited number of sites data can be transmitted to a central server where the data is

made available in real time. If the data lines go down, up to 100 000 transactions can be

stored locally, until the central server is available. The data lines which can be provided are

leased lines, wireless, GPRS and ADSL, any TCP/IP connection. The reports that can be

generated include: Uptime and site availability;

- Month end statements and customer reports;

- Vehicle number per site, average time on site, average weight, etc.;

- Waste category and allowed type of waste per site;

- Operator reports and no of vehicles handled per operator.

the consideration of WIM Quartz for future expansion.

4.1 ROBINSON SITE

Summary

Based on our experience and site visits at Robinson the following is proposed:

As Per Tender Document

1. New Weighbridges may only be required at a later date and we recommend achieving an operational status of all 4 weighbridges at Robinson within 20 working days of tender award, whereafter, if Pikitup should desire, only the front three weighbridges could be phased in for replacement with new weighbridges.

2. Innovative Software Solutions have been offered and will operate on an open database, such that future expansion or integration is not impeded or limited. The software will link the license plate recognition, CCTV recording of the load, card access control, PIN code, finger print, invoice, billing, weigh bridge info, tare weight and other information as obtained per transaction into a meaningful, real-time record.

3. Communications Links for real time up date and interfacing to the financial systems (Venus and SAP at a later date) has been catered for and can be accommodated. Existing integration to SAP is currently available.

4. Automated Database is virtual real time based for billing purposes with scale information, which includes, but is not limited to tare weights, real time tonnages, product type, transporters information, vendor/supplier number, etc., and will integrate to Venus and SAP.

5. The lightning protection was found to be good, but not up to the high standard which is required to support the expensive electronics. Thus an upgrade to an improved lightning protection system is recommended.

6. Load Cell replacements/upgrades – Sub Saharah Scales will firstly strive to achieve an availability of 95% plus with the current infrastructure of the existing weighbridges within 15 working days of order or resolution with Pikitup, by doing the following : (1) fix the existing system by commissioning and repair to achieve an SABS operational status, then ; (2) upgrade the electronics on the existing weighbridges if necessary ; then (3) upgrade each weighbridge to a recommended



fit for purpose application. This may/or may not include new weighbridges, and this will only be done in consultation with Pikitup Management and staff. Please note that the Load cells and indicators for the upgrade and new weighbridges will be directly compatible in type, quantity and application, thus there will be extra revenue charges for the electronics.

7. Electronic Access Control - Speed Control will be exercised by the installation of tire slashers/shredders before the weighbridges on entrance and exit to each weighbridge, and at the exit to the site, giving a total of two per Weigh Bridge and an extra one for free exit, required per site. Each weighbridge will have automatically controlled booms gates at the entrance and the exit to the weighbridge and the site. Access card readers are included as an option, allowing entry via a card, finger print and or a PIN. Account holders or staff would be enrolled on site, at head office or at other locations where payment detailes could be captured. Our offer includes Image & Text recognition on the number plates, company emblems, and if Pikitup so wish a Pikitup self-generated Text Number can also be applied to each vehicle at a specific location. It is there fore possible to enable access based on one, some or all of the following: License plate, finger print, access card, PIN code or account number.

8. The system will include real time Block-Out of financial or malicious

offenders. It is there possible to restrict access based on one, some or all of the following: License plate, finger print, access card, PIN code or account number.

9. Commissioning and Installation to SABS Approved Standards – The systems (both Upgrade & New – where applicable) will comply to relevant SABS Standards under SABS Certification 1396 (SA420 Instrument), or 1382 (ESIT ART Instrument), or 1300 (M&D Instrument).

10. Training – ongoing training will be provided for minimum of 2 days per month for the first year, 1 day per month thereafter for the Pikitup Group.

11. Maintenance Plan – a fully comprehensive Service Level Agreement has been included to accommodate this for a minimum of 3 years.

4.2.1 GOUDKOPPIES SITE

Summary

Based on our exposure and site visits at Goudkoppies the following is prevalent :


1. New Weighbridges may only be required at a later date and we recommend achieving operational status of all 2 weighbridges at Goudkoppies by 15 January 2008, whereafter, if Pikitup should desire, the two weighbridges could be phased in for replacements with new weighbridges.





6. Load Cell replacements/upgrades – Sub Saharah Scales will firstly strive to achieve an availability of 95% plus with the current infrastructure of the existing weighbridges within 15 working days of order or resolution with Pikitup, by doing the following : (1) fix the existing system by commissioning and repair to achieve an SABS operational status, then ; (2) upgrade the electronics on the existing weighbridges if necessary ; then (3) upgrade each weighbridge to a recommended fit for purpose application. This may/or may not include new weighbridges, and this will only be done in consultation with Pikitup Management and staff. Please note that the Load cells and indicators for the upgrade and new weighbridges will be directly compatible in type, quantity and application, thus there will be extra revenue charges for the electronics.

7. Electronic Access Control - Speed Control will be excercised by the installation of tire slashers/shredders before the weighbridges on entrance to each weighbridge, and at the exit to the site, giving a total of 3 required. Each



weighbridge will have automatically controlled booms gates at the entrance and the exit to the weighbridge and the site. Access card readers are included as an option, and our offer includes Image & Text recognition on the number plates, company emblems, and if Pikitup so wish a Pikitup self-generated Text Number can also be applied to each vehicle at a specific location. The system will include real time Block-Out of financial or malicious offenders.





11. Mechanical conditions of the weighbridges will still support a minimum of 15-20 years operation should major maintenance now be carried out. This would include resurfacing and painting of all 2 weighbridges with a SABS approved Epoxy paint which is Acid, Alkali, or Bio Chemical Resistant.


13. Rewelding of all appropriate joins on both the weighbridges..

14. The plinths of both the weighbridges with associated ramps to be raised by a minimum of 250mm to allow sufficient clearance to facilitate daily cleaning and inspection of the weighbridge below the platform.


16. Drainage around the weighbridges to be re-assessed.

17. Printer systems to be upgraded to a later technology , which is inexpensive and simple to operate or replace.



18. Lighting around all weighbridges to be re-assessed to accomodate camera use in the evenings.



Phase 1 & 2 Breakdown

Goudkoppies Landfill Site Phase 1 � the existing 2 (two) weighbridges at the

entrance gates will not require immediate replacement but rather upgrading.

These upgrades will be both electronic and mechanical repair. Back Office link

up to be phased immediately thereafter. Time frame to operational status to

SABS Specification � 5-15 work days from tender award

Phase 2 – new weighbridge installation will be phased in over the next 3

months and will include if required 2 new weighbridges at the front entrances, at

an additional

Phase 3 – back office installation, tire shredders, booms, integration, camera

systems etc. will be phased in from Phase 1 starting date.

The concept of transaction management is one that this proposal is based on and consists of

a basic underpinning approach that defines each assessment of a vehicle as a transaction.

The transaction identifies the date, time, location, camera/lane, license plate number,

instantaneous weight, associated type of weight image identifier, (and any other information

that is assessed). The identification of the same vehicle at the exit location is a secondary

transaction and the relevant weight relationship between these two transactions is assessed

and determines the amount the customer is billed. Each of these transactions is sent through

to the service centre and is then matched against any of the registered lists in the database.

The matching of the vehicle to a list will result in the relevant entity being informed of the

event through SMS or email or post or live on the web site with a secure link to the image for

copying and processing of the necessary action, viz. payment, etc.

6.1.2 Weigh Bridge Processing System

The entity responsible for the processing of the transactions in as close to real-time as the

networks will allow. The transaction, with the data that uniquely identifies the vehicle, driver

and location will be passed through the broad based network in http format to the service that

will record the transaction. The vehicle information will then be checked against the lists

received from those enrolled. If a match is identified, the listed entity provider will be notified

of the identification through and email with a link to the image on the PC on site. This gives

the exception entity an opportunity to validate data captured and confirm that this is a valid

transaction and will then trigger the necessary action relevant to the event.

The system will then wait for the vehicle to be next identified and will ascertain the vehicle

weight. Once these have been identified the relevant entity will be notified via an email with a

reference to the image for the entity to validate and then process the necessary amounts

due. This can be done through our solutions, but it is assumed that the current incumbent

would still be used for this.



6.1.3 Registered Reference Entity

This refers to the entity that provides information against which the identification of the

vehicle or driver must be checked. In this instance it will be the provision of vehicles

registered ti use the landfill site. If vehicles are identified that do not comply with the list then

the ETA will be informed of the instance via email and would then have the opportunity to

deal with the event as they see fit. Manual payment would then the allowed to proceed.

6.1.4 Reporting

Real-time reporting is possible via a web interface that will provide a dashboard of

information that must be agreed and specified in consultation. Standard reports can also be

extracted from the Database with a reasonable amount of flexibility.

6.1.5 Financial Model

The financial model for this is based on transaction and a pre-paid service is being offered.

The pricing model consists of a flat rate per month as well as a rate per transaction for

normal assessment as well as for violation processing.

6.1.6 Transaction fee

A prepaid transaction fee will be payable in a pre-paid model and will entitle PIKITUP to the

processing of that number of transactions for the month.

77 SSoolluuttiioonn PPrrooppoosseedd The purpose of this proposal is to

The objective of this proposal is to efficiently process by:-

� Reducing the number of transactions not being billed due to Weigh Bridge not

working, maintenance and automatic systems.

� Nullify the number of overdue accounts due to exclusion from the site if an account is

not paid. The system forces the operators to adhere to rules as pre set in the

software. Warnings will appear to inform operators.

� Promoting awareness of payment of violations by using various means including sign

boards at the sites, Call Centre, mail etc,.

� Introducing technology to support the weigh bridge processes;

� Empowering the local landfill sites

by introducing equipment and

software process to enforce the

weigh in and out process.

7.1.3.1 Computer system

A network computer system will be able to keep track with the individual accounts and

payment system. These computers will be used to capture all the transactions and status

thereof. This computer will be linked up with the current or new SAP system, thus ensuring

that we can, on a real time basis monitor the status of all sites.

7.1.3.2 Software for Weigh Bridge

Software supplied by the.

7.1.3.3 Automatic Number Plate Recognition System (ANPR)

This ANPR (or LPR) system can be used at the weigh bridge in conjunction with the access

control system. The use of automatic license plate recognition is a system that has many

advantaged, these include:-

� Checking passing vehicles for outstanding accounts;

� Staff or own vehicle identification;

� Expired or illegal license to operate

� Etc.

7.1.3.4 Twenty21 Editor

This program allows the client to process camera violations from their format to clients

preferred format. This software was a range of features that make for high speed capture



and conforms to the latest TCSP guidelines. Tracking, auditing, editing and other features

make this software unique in the market place.

7.1.3.5 Access Control

This system is aimed at The idea behind this is to get away from the existing

static systems. The unique auditing system which allows monitoring of staff work

performance and time management have revolutionised the way we look at . The

reporting structures per site per type of selected codes enable management to optimise the

camera settings. Gone are the days where the traffic authorities were forced to use software

where the authorities had to adapt � AKP can adapt to your needs. Low cost, therefore

saving you large amounts of hard earned revenue that can be better used.

7.1.4 Transaction Capacity Parameters

7.1.4.1 Number of transactions that can be handled during peak periods;

� The data capture software has been designed to allow multiple users (via Thin Client)

to capture as fast as the Data Capture clerk is able to work. Our Data capturers

presently capture 200 to 600 transactions per hour per clerk.

� The viewer software is designed to be operated (via Thin Client or stand-alone

workstation) to be added to as per customer needs.

� The permanent camera systems have no limit on the number of violations captured in

peak periods due to the fact that this system is PC based and all violations are

captured and then processed to hard drive in a real time processing mode � it can

handle up to 10 simultaneous events in the buffer, thus it sums to about 5

transactions per second.

7.1.4.2 Response times for maintenance;

We have the policy to respond to systems going down immediately on a real time basis. We

believe the better the service to the client � the better the payment rate.

- SMS response on the system going offline;

- E-Mail response for real time tracking;

- internet remote view and control for online response;

- walk in maintenance � to be done on site

- Office at site allowing on site response

7.1.4.3 Length of time required for running updates and batches;

The software uses MySQL as database backbone. It is a multi tasking system and batch

process is handled in the background. Thus the user is able to use the system while batch

processes are running. The average throughput is dependent on the hardware you use i.e.

pc and network. The average could be anything from 500 to 2000 records per second.



7.1.4.4 Period of running reports;

Depending on the amount of data to be collected From Viewer, a typical report is the number

of transactions per month, the from-date, to-date and amount of sites to include reports can

take anything from 1 to 10 minutes. Reports can be run at same time as other functions �

ETMS is a multi tasking system. The reports can run while the system is printing notices and

at the same time the Call Centre can be running etc. We can adapt the reports to your needs

should the need arise.

7.1.4.5 Length of time required for back-ups;

Back-ups are carried out automatically after-hours by means of schedules tasks and usually

takes between 1 and 10 minutes.

7.1.4.6 Capacity to run off-line;

The proposed System runs independently from the SAP System thus the ability to process

and view transactions is dependent on the following factor:

• The database located on a central server to which connection has been lost or is

database stored on local machine, thus each pc has its own database.

- Advantage of local database � viewing and processing is not dependent on

network

- Disadvantage of local database � if info in corrected on a outstanding account,

only the user that changed it has the change on his/her system unless each

user is notified manually.

The system is configurable to suit the customer�s needs and preferences.

• Procedure, capacity and time required for batch verification and control. One can

verify between 200 and 600 per hour, depending on the operator.

• Procedure, capacity and time required for Notice number verification.

Ciprus/ETMS or TCS system handles this function. The data string is loaded into

the Traffic management System and the Notice number is automatically

generated per violation. The ETMS handles this process immediately

8.1 Average Speed Determination (ASD)

The following is an example of software developed using the information generated from the

LPR hardware and software in the field. The SeeCarFlow application uses the data

generated by a number of LPR sites in the field for various applications. For PIKITUP a

similar application would be created and implemented after joint specification.

Speeding vehicles on site are a major problem, seriously affecting the safety of users and

staff on site. ASD can monitor each vehicle and ensure the speed is acceptable plus the

vehicle is tipping where required. Waste placed in the wrong area is a serious problem on all

sites.

Overview

The central application receives recognition updates from all the sites, analyses the data

and matches the vehicle appearances, calculates the data and stores it to database, and

displays it in real time.

The application has the following main display options:

• Map � Travel map with real-time statistics • Travel time � travel time between the dumping sites (in tabular form) • Special Vehicle Travel time � travel time for own vehicles • Flow � distribution of the traffic (e.g., 23% of traffic is dumping at a certain part of

the site, 95% of a certain type of waste is going to a certain place in the landfill) • Status � diagnostics of all sites

These options are described in the following paragraphs.

Travel Map

This option displays a bitmap of the travel map along with travel time figures updated online

on the map. The display includes the map bitmap, the location of sites on the map, and the

travel time between the points displayed on line segments (in both directions if available).

The following figure illustrates an example.

Map display example (without zoom)



To focus on a specific area the operator can press (with the left button of the mouse) on a

specific area, and the program will zoom up at that point showing the vicinity of the zoomed

area. Another click will restore the map to its original size. The travel time from Panorama

Entrance to the tipping face is 37 minutes, while the travel time in opposite direction (from

tipping to exit) is only 3 minutes. The time is displayed in a purple colour (predefined in the

settings) along the line segments (with same colour) connecting both sites.

The map display can also display (upon user selection) the average speed in each traffic

segment and the distance between the points.

Travel Time tabular display

The following figure shows a typical display of the Travel time tabular display. The Sites are

listed as A- H (in this example) and the Site location appears on the right side. The average

time between all relevant points is listed in the matrix, where the rows are the �from� site and

the columns are the �to� sites. For example, Site C (third row) to Site A (first column) appears

as 33 minutes – which was calculated according to the readings from both sites. This value is

updated in real-time.

Special vehicles Travel time

The travel time is calculated separately for special vehicles, based on an �allowed� list of

vehicles (such as PIKITUP vehicles). The user can add, edit, delete and search the list of

special vehicles. This list is used then to calculate the travel time for these vehicles. The

display is identical to the regular vehicles travel time tabular display. This option displays the

traffic distribution: the percentage of the traffic flow from point to point. This data is displayed

in a flow matrix, similar to the travel time display. It provides a status of the flow of the traffic

from point to point.

Status: LPR unit status

When selecting this option the program displays the live status of all LPR units. This

includes:

• the number of recognition messages received from each point in a given period, • the percent recognition success (and an alert if a low threshold is reached), • the last time the unit has been initiated or started a recovery process. • On-line Diagnostics results (each unit reports on its status in a periodic cycle)



Note that in case of a change in the status of an LPR unit (failure of the on-line diagnostics, or missing messages from that

unit), the SeeCarFlow application will display a message and an alarm will be heard.

Settings

The number, name and position of the sites are defined in the application settings and

could be easily updated if more sites are added.

Other parameters can also be changed in the settings. All settings are password protected

in order to avoid unauthorized changes.

8.2 Travel Time Calculations

This section describes the method of travel time calculations as used in the central

application.

Travel time

Subtracting the recognition times between the sites (see illustration) generates the basic

travel time between a pair of sites. Travel Time between Entrance B & Tipping Face A = {Time at B} – {Time at A} Note that not all sites will be considered pairs. A list of legal pairs is defined in the program

setting (for all cases that measure the traffic in the correct direction).

This calculation will be done separately for standard vehicles and special vehicles (as listed

in the �white list�).

Average Travel time

The average travel time is calculated by averaging the individual travel times that were

recorded in a pre-defined period (every several minutes):

Average Travel Time = (Sum {travel times}) / {Number of vehicles} Since some vehicles stop on the route or may pass twice, which will affect the calculation.

Therefore a standard deviation will be calculated per site pairs. In case a certain time

exceeds the standard deviation it will be excluded from the average travel time. The % of

permissible change over the standard deviation is an application parameter.



Comparison Accuracy

Each vehicle will be matched between the sites, with a comparison accuracy that is defined

in the application parameter (�degrees of freedom in match�).

Examples:

1. if the accuracy is 0 then the vehicle code ABC123 must only match ABC123. 2. If the parameter is 1 then ABN123 will match ABC123 (but not ACN123 – the

comparison is performed in the proper position). Furthermore, left or right shift will also be accepted: 1ABC12 will also be acceptable.

Even if the match is accepted, the program will first match in full accuracy and only then try

the lower degree of accuracy (if defined as such).

Storage and export of Results

All calculated travel time statistics will be recorded in a database. This data can be

extracted later for off-line processing. The calculated data will also be transmitted over the

network for other applications using TCP/IP.

The settings above allow the average speed to be determined between site 1 & 2

8.3 INFORMATION ON WIM (WEIGH IN MOTION) for PIKITUP-JHB

8.3.1 High Speed Weigh-in-Motion Apparatus (Piezo Quartz Sensor/Type Lineas 9195E)

8.3.7 Video Camera with violators recording capability

This equipment shall have the capability of capturing and recording the number plate

(alpha-numeric characters) of all vehicles, including offending vehicle on signal from

HSWIM equipment or when triggered by manual switching. A digital video camera

capable of capturing a clear image of a vehicle (2/3rd of front and 1/3rd of the site) is to

be securely mounted in a weatherproof and dustproof secure housing as shown in

the drawings.

The weighing platform is to be connected to the control computer network in the

Control Office on LS WIM by service able secure ducted cables. Equipment mounted

along the roadside will suitably by mounted on plinths and housed in enclosures to

protect the equipment against the environmental conditions of the area. Feeder

cables to individual road sensors shall be installed in such a way in the road that

aides the maintenance thereof.

The system must be earthed properly and protected against electrical surges and

lightning.

The image is to be relayed to the control office with the following data shown ion the

image as collected by the relevant apparatus:

• the axle loads; • the vehicle speed; • the total loads of multiple axles; • the total weigh of the vehicle; • the maximum overload of the vehicle in accordance with a stored vehicle table; • variation of the vehicle; • classification of the vehicle with respect to number and spacing of axle; • a consecutive number; • the date and time of passage • picture (2/3rd of front and 1/3rd of the site) of overloaded vehicles

The images are to be stored on the system�s network hard drives in the most

economical format that provides a clear image on a suitable computer screen. The

verification of the vehicle characteristics (overload) an operator will delete all images

of non-offending vehicles.



Exact Position

The exact position of all the items shall be finalised after the axle load stations have

been constructed and followings a site inspection or recommendation.

8.3.8 Permanent WIM Operations

The majority of WIM data collection is now done with permanently installed weight sensors,

although many sites do not collect data continuously at these sites. Instead, they attach data

collection electronics to previously mounted sensors when data collection is desired. The

scale sensors are then calibrated (or should be calibrated), and data are collected for the

desired time period.

Permanently mounting WIM sensors allows them to be installed flush with the roadway

surface. When done properly, this eliminates the bump that vehicles experience when

crossing surface-mounted sensors. The removal of impact loads on sensors and the

elimination of extra vertical motion caused by bumps result in improved system accuracy.

Permanently mounting sensors flush with the pavement surface also decreases the impact

loads on sensors themselves, which in turn increases sensor life. One common cause of

sensor failure is when sensors become directly exposed to horizontal forces from tire

contact. This exposure often leads to early fatigue failure for both sensors and the bonds

between sensors and pavement.

A variety of other factors play important roles in both the output accuracy and the life of

permanently mounted sensors. Pavement at permanent sensor locations should be:

" Flat (no horizontal or vertical curves) " Smooth (no bumps or other surface conditions that increase dynamic vehicle motion) " Strong (to reduce pavement flex underneath the WIM sensor), and " In good condition.

Flat, smooth pavement reduces vehicle dynamic motion and increases the accuracy of all

WIM sensors. Strong pavement results in longer-lived pavement, which in turn increases

sensor life. Strong pavement is especially important for strip sensors that are embedded

directly into the pavement. The output from these sensors depends on the performance of

the pavement itself. If pavement strength varies significantly over time (e.g.,with



environmental conditions), sensor output will also vary, and this greatly decreases the

likelihood of accurate sensor calibration.

Good condition pavement reduces vehicle dynamics and makes the bond between sensors

and pavement more likely to last. A common cause of sensor failure is the failure of sensor/

pavement bonds, which is often traced to poor pavement condition.

Poor installation is another common cause of this failure.

Poor cleaning or drying of pavement cuts results in a weak bond that allows moisture

intrusion and further deterioration of the bond.

Moisture is also a common cause of equipment failure because of intrusion into either the

sensor itself or the communication lines connecting the sensor to the data collection

electronics.

Each vendor and each state highway agency has its own procedures for fighting moisture

intrusion. Similarly, agencies and vendors have equipment and procedures for protecting

permanent equipment from lightning strikes, other environmental effects (extreme

temperatures, humidity, dust), insects, power surges, and various other causes of equipment

or communications failure. No single document exists that lists best practices for protecting

equipment from these common problems.

WIM site principle checklist



8.3.9 SITE SELECTION

The site selected for a WIM system should be based on meeting the required "site design

life" and accuracy necessary to support the user. In order to meet these requirements, the

geometric design, pavement condition, and general characteristics of a potential site should

be considered. Selecting an adequate site for the WIM location is a very important part of

meeting the established WIM system requirements.

GEOMETRIC DESIGN The geometric design of a roadway is an important factor that provides a foundation for using dynamic

load measurements to estimate static loads accurately. This is due to the influence longitudinal and

transverse offsets have on the behaviour of a vehicle. The ASTM Standard sets guidelines for the

horizontal curvature, the longitudinal gradient, the cross (lateral) slope, and the width of the paved

roadway lane. The guidelines set standard geometric design requirements for each type of system.

According:

The ASTM Standard (E 1318-94) Geometric Design Requirements and the COST 323 WIM

Technical requirements.

Horizontal Curvature

The maximum allowable horizontal curvature for the roadway is identical for all four types of

WIM system installations. The roadway has to have a horizontal radius of not less than 1740

meters (5,700 feet) for a distance of 46 meters (150 feet) before and after the WIM sensor.

The radius is measured at the centre line of the lane in which the sensor is installed.

Roadway Grade

The maximum allowable roadway grade is the same for WIM systems. For these systems the

roadway grade cannot exceed two percent for a distance of 46 meters (150) feet before and

after the sensor. No documentation was found for the minimum allowable amount of

longitudinal waves in the roadway approaching the sensor.

Cross Slope

The maximum allowable cross (lateral) slope of the road surface is the same for the HS WIM

systems. For these systems the cross slope cannot exceed two percent for a distance of 46

meters (150 feet) before and after the sensor.



PAVEMENT CONDITION

The roadway pavement condition is important in the reduction of vehicle bounce.

The guideline set forth in the ASTM Standard E 1318-94 states that for a distance of 46

meters (150 feet) before and after the sensor the roadway surface �shall be maintained in a

condition such that a 150 millimeter (6 inch) diameter circular plate 3 millimeters (0.125

inches) thick cannot be passed beneath a 6 meter (20 foot) long straightedge. The standard

also states that a foundation must be provided and maintained to accommodate the sensors.

SITE LOCATION

The location of a WIM site should be based on more than just the need for truck traffic data.

The site needs to be located in an area with specific qualities including:

1. Availability of access to power and phone

2. Adequate location for controller cabinet

3. Adequate drainage

4. Traffic conditions

Availability of Access to Power and Phone

The site should have access to an AC power source and telephone utilities. Solar power and

cellular phones can be used if utilities are not available. The power source and phone service

used at a site is dependent upon the amount of truck data collected at the site. For more

active sites our experiences determined, that wired phone service would be more cost

effective than cellular (wireless) service.

Adequate Location for Controller Cabinet

The controller cabinet should be located so that it will function throughout the design life of

the site. The cabinet needs to be in an area so that:

• It cannot be hit by a vehicle leaving the roadway, preferably behind a guardrail • It is accessible with a clear line of sight to the sensors • It can be serviced without endangering the technician • Items three and four are important because technicians may need to spend time

at the controller cabinet during system testing, calibration, and maintenance • Air condition and dust protection must be available •

99 IImmpplleemmeennttaattiioonn SScchheedduullee The substantial experience developed from installing systems locally in South Africa and

internationally will prove extremely beneficial during install of the proposed solution. Key to

the successful installation and faultless operation is the initial design, based on a complete

TCP/IP backbone, consisting of ADSL, wireless links and GSM connectivity. The connectivity

allows any PC, database or camera to connect to any computer, ensuring maximum uptime.

The ability to obtain feedback from the equipment in the field in real time, allowing proactive

response to any issue ensures all challenges are resolved before they escalate.

A meeting will be arranged to discuss any modification to the system design, layout, identify

the positions of the proposed install or if any of the options presented will be selected. A

weekly meeting is requested for feedback on progress plus the ability to immediately identify

any issues which might arise. Should any issue need to be addressed, all role players can

be kept informed of the progress and decide on a suitable way forward. This is the ideal

time for the operational staff to get involvement, so they understand the solution from an

operational level. At each meeting additional reading material will be provided to the

operational staff for study and prepare.

The systems will be pre-built before being installed, with substantial tests to limit any on site

issues. This is the ideal time for the operational staff to get hands on involvement, so they

understand the solution from a board level.

Once the systems are installed, extensive tests begin. As these are all done from the control

room this is the ideal opportunity to continue the on the job training of the personal who will

operate the system. Each stage of the process will be extensively tested: from loop

detection, multiple image capture, OCR, transfer of the data (plate, lane, date, time, etc.),

loading users and those plates where an alarm should be generated. Tests will be performed

using dedicated vehicles travelling at specific speeds to ensure the entire system is fully

operational, including the measured distance between sites.

The time critical nature of the project requires total commitment from a dedicated solution

provider who has substantial local experience in providing this solution.



A project charter document will be drafted with clear agreement of the deliverables at the

commencement of the project that will be signed to confirm the understanding of what is

included, excluded, concerns, risks, etc. This will allow for a structured approach to any

scope changes.

The progress review meetings will be minuted by the Project Manager. The meetings will be

chaired by the Project Manager and attendance to these meetings by the designated

Municipality representative is required. The project may be delayed, without penalty, if the

required parties are not in attendance.

A formal Change Control process will be included should any deviations be requested from

the original scope be necessary to provide opportunity for the impact on the project to be

identified, motivated and agreed. This approval will be provided by the Municipality, the

primary contractor and the Project Manager in a formalized signed change Request Form

that will be supplied at the commencement of the project.

This system is installed in the gates of a South African University. It is used for gate control

and theft prevention. The license plate of the cars entering is

recorded along with the driver face. This data is compared to

the information at the exit and the guard can see that the

person at the entrance to the University was different than

the person driving the car out. The system also provides

statistics and data logging, as well as an on-line surveillance

of the gates.

After the installation of this system the number of thefts decreased sharply. A sample actual

record of an attempted theft is shown in the following animation.

The SeeCarTrap system is based on SeeLane recognition system and has special

modifications for a roadside mobile system. This system is used for catching cars in cases of

warrant of arrest, unpaid fines or taxes and stolen cars. It deals with a database of up to 0.5

million entries. The stand-alone real-time system automatically recognizes the car plate

number then searches a database. It sounds an alarm when a car has been detected in the

'black' list, and displays the vehicle and arrest information contained in the record. This

revolutionary system simplifies the roadblock operation and thus helps to increase selective

enforcement.

The system is also connected to a large outdoor display that shows the car number, the car

type, the reason for arrest and the name of the driver. This display can be seen by the police

officer down the road. All the officer needs to do is wait for the siren, then stop the car and

verify the arrest details, as seen in the film clip below.

The system is portable and installed in minutes by the police officer. It is installed in a battery powered lunch-box PC. It operates day and night on a free-flowing traffic at average speeds of 10-80 KMH. The system contains all the elements of a recognition system: hardware (frame grabber, optional IO card, and a special camera/illumination unit optimized for this application) and software (SeeRoad application and a client application). The application includes a special software trigger option which reduces the need to place a detector on the road, making the system portable and easy to install.



This system is installed in a traffic police violations processing center in Pretoria, South Africa (in conjunction with Labat Traffic Solutions using the Startrap Intelligence violation data processing system). It is used to automate the process of handling the fine processing (a fast turnaround from film to fine). The application reads both the license plate off the frame - together with violation information. A sample violation is shown in the following photo. The frame, read from the film, includes the view of the car, the vehicle plate, and the violation information - which includes the date, location and speed, and is attached in the upper-right corner. The system performs both access-control, parking and traffic-flow management functions. It provides solutions for a congested University entrance and enforces an overall traffic policy in its gates and parking lots.

The entrance display provides traffic guidance by displaying one of the 3 options (left 'Guests' for guest parking, middle 'GO' for entrance, and right for 'Inquiries'). The display is controlled by the management software which has multiple authorization lists. Faculty members can use an automated telephone Interactive Voice Response system which accepts requests for temporary passes. The security guards and officers can also change the permit lists on-line. The system keeps records of the traffic events. It also controls the access-control to internal parking lots.

The system consists of a cluster of LPR systems, a management software, and an outdoor traffic light display unit. Each of the camera/illumination units (SeeCarHead ) is installed in a anti-vandalism metal cover. The LPR units are based on (SeeLane server application) which interfaces the hardware and performs the recognition process. It sends recognition messages to the client applications. Each of the client applications perform traffic management decisions and connect via network to a management software on a remote server.

This system is installed in the entrance to a new UK office compound and provides automatic access to authorized cars. The records of the entry and exit are recorded. The



system automatically opens the gate for vehicles that match the authorized list. A large outdoor display greets the vehicles (as seen behind the gate).

This system part of a toll road system in South Africa. The license plate is read and used

as a key to fetch the vehicle information from the toll database. The information is compared to a swipe card which is used by the driver. This integrated system reduces fraud and increases the toll income.

The toll system is based on a multi-lane (SeeLane) system which reads and verifies the

plate data and sends a message to the toll control application. This application uses the recognition information to obtain the vehicle data, which is matched to the swipe card information. The results are displayed to the operator and also sent to the control room for further processing of the frauds, and long-term data logging.

12.4 LPR Spec Sheet

12.4.1 Overview

The Traffic Logging System (TLS) Solution will be provided to WEIGH BRIDGE SITES

to accommodate the need for consistent, real-time traffic data. The traffic data will come

from the License Plate Recognition (LPR) of all vehicles passing through the covered

transport lanes. The system, referred to as the TLS, will provide a take-and-discard

methodology for the vehicles� video and license plate data. Vehicles using the lanes will be

captured allowing proactive, real time reaction to traffic movement and long term studies of

traffic data. The road side portion of the solution proposed uses the See Lane DLL software.

The TLS will allow the Authority to - improve safety on roads and eliminate �black spots�; - limit road closures and traffic delays associated with road works and

unexpected events; - manage the flow of traffic to minimise delays; - provide effective signage; - increase traffic capacity; - provide better road user services such as information signs and systems.

The See Lane DLL is a state-of-the-art vision based recognition system for medium speed

roadside installations. The system can integrate multiple lanes and multiple cameras per lane

into a sophisticated vision-based License Plate Recognition (LPR) system that identifies and

tracks number plates on vehicles travelling at medium speeds. The system is used world wide

for various applications, including traffic data analysis, toll roads, rush hour monitoring and

average speed and car flow studies. The application is supported by a full set of optical and

hardware sub-systems as well as software applications and utilities.



The system will work to detect and capture the license plate information for every vehicle passing

through the covered lanes. It will be the responsibility of the motion detection software to determine

vehicle presence, via the advanced digital recording software. The TLS cameras will then capture a

set of images, the See Lane DLL will process these and output the best image and the resulting license

plate, lane, time and associated data to the network. The WEIGH BRIDGE SITES servers will

capture the data for further processing as required.

- Flow estimation – the number of vehicles and types of vehicles can be used for road conjunction analysis that can assist traffic planning.

- On-line traffic report – the roadside information can be reported on web sites in order to supply live reports from the freeway.

- Monitoring – the recognition information may be used for various security applications. - Average Speed – using outputs of several sites, a back end program can be used to

calculate the average speed of the vehicles, based on the time of journey. - Enforcement - The license plate data can be used for a wide range of enforcement

techniques, including outstanding traffic fines, warrants, etc. The average speed can be used to issue violation tickets.

12.4.2 System description:

The proposed system consists of a number of lanes, within the LANDFILL area, with multiple

cameras monitoring the specific areas. Each camera is connected wirelessly to an IP switch

which allows any of the connected computers to view and process the data obtained from the

cameras. If any of the cameras goes down, an alarm is generated immediately. If any of the

computers fail, the other computers automatically take over the processing of the cameras

attached to that computer.

All vehicles passing the camera will be recorded in terms of the time, lane, direction, license

plate (if present), automatic detection of unauthorized vehicles, an alarm if the vehicle is

wanted (black list) and other database operations.

System Architecture SeeLane is a turn-key system comprises of the following elements:

� PC running Windows XP Pro

� SeeCar DLL - which is used to analyze the images and extract license plate string

� 1-4 Recognition Camera unit(s) to capture the images. These cameras are high resolution state

of the art cameras that are connected to the PC via a gigabit network.

� Gigabit Network – 8-port switch and network card (or motherboard network).



This is an internal network used for communicating with the cameras.

Figure 5 Elements making up See Lane � Illumination units to illuminate the plates. The illumination units may be external lights, or

solid state strobe units that are supplied.

� I/O card – Not required for this system but could be provided. The input/output board with

multiple I/O discrete lines supports the sensors and illumination control. It is connected via a

cable to a terminal interface board with easy connections and indicator lights.

� BW dedicated rear plate camera – used as an option to supply images used for specific

capture of the rear plate only. This is used for additional recognition where no front plate is

present.

� Sensors to indicate the presence of the car (a sensor for each lane). These are not required and

are not included.

� See Lane

The See Lane Windows application interfaces the hardware elements (camera/illumination unit(s),

IO card and sensor). It controls the illumination (if present), reads the video inputs and passes the

images to the DLL in order to obtain the recognition results. The application displays the image

and recognition results. It then exports the results using messages and image files. Its man-



machine interface supports on-line setting control, which can easily adapt the application to

various types of configurations. The image below illustrates how the items link together on

site and in the control room. All the items indicated in the image below reside on site, except

for the remote database which will be on the central server in the control room.

12.4.3 Block Diagram

A breakdown of the See Lane system is shown in the following illustration, which shows a typical

configuration of a See Lane LPR system (single lane). Although a monitor is shown, it is optional,

and a remote access thru the network is usually the standard

configuration.

Figure 6 See Lane Connectivity

The See Lane application runs as a background Windows application in the PC (in the centre),

which has a gigabit network connection (from a network card or the motherboard), via a Gigabit

switch to the IP recognition camera(s) (with integrated illumination). The number of these high

resolution cameras depends on the width and number of lanes, but is limited to 4 or less cameras

based on traffic volume.



The PC has an I/O card which is connected via a terminal block to the sensors and the

illumination control signals. An option of a colour / BW overview picture and video is available

with a colour / BW overview camera.

12.5.1 Site Layout: Installation

The design of the system allows for a motion trigger. For each trigger a series of images will be

captured. The images will then be automatically reviewed by the application running on the Lane

Controller, and the best result will be selected among all

identifications. The application will also select the best

image to be reported that will contain the plate image.

Once a result is determined, the data will be sent by a

message to the server. Below is a diagram depicting the

physical layout of the equipment involved in the single-

lane See Lane TLS system:

Figure 13 Rear camera and Site PC layout



Figure 14 Rear camera wiring and

layout

The effective field of view of each unit is

about 12 meters in order to achieve the

proper plate size. The SCH (See Car

Head camera / illumination unit) is

mounted at the side of the lane as close

as possible to the edge (parameter C) and

at height of about 5.1 meters. The range

(parameter B in the figure) is 15.5 meters

from the “loss of detection” point (where

the rear of the vehicle leaves the detector) using a 60 mm lens.

Figure 15 Layout for a rear camera The following illustration shows a typical layout of the See Lane solution (Front Camera only):



The SCH unit should be installed at about 15.5M from the loop detection line for standard lens.

See the illustration above, parameter B. This translates to about 19 meters or more from the front

of the car (for standard lens) since a typical vehicle is about 4 meters.

The side distance (parameter C) in this installation is identical – 0.0 to 0.5 meters. Side of the Traffic lane: Install the SCH as close as possible to the traffic lane, within 0.0 to

0.5 meters. See the illustration above, parameter C.

12.5.2 ON WEIGH BRIDGE BEAMS

The trucks will be confirmed fully on the weigh bridge by using beams around the weigh

bridge. If these beams are obstructed, then the weight from the weight bridge will not be

obtained. Only once the beams are unobstructed will the weight be obtained from the weigh

bridge.

12.5.3 TRAFFIC LOGGING

The following illustration shows one of the sites (�Site A� out of N sites) monitored by a

License Plate Recognition (LPR) unit. Each unit is connected via a network to a control room.

Each LPR unit transmits its recognition results to the control room computer where the data

is collected and analyzed. The central computer application then updates and displays the

traffic status that includes average journey times between the LPR sites and also traffic flow

statistics. This information is presented in real-time and saved to a traffic database for off-

line processing.



Figure 16 SeeCarFlow illustration (Site A of N sites, with control room)

12.5.4 System Architecture: Overview

The system is based on Hi-Tech Solutions� Vehicle License Plate Recognition (LPR) stand-

alone systems. Multiple LPR units are installed at several permanent sites (2) located in

selected urban road routes (N3 and Smith Street) in the city. Each LPR system performs

real-time recognition on passing cars in a single traffic lane. The LPR unit is based on a

Windows application that controls its integrated camera/illumination unit and an LPR

recognition engine.



Figure 17 Image Capture and OCR

Each LPR unit reports the vehicle recognition events via TCP/IP network messages to a

central computer in the traffic control room. The central computer application reads the

recognition results from all sites, calculates the travel data (in real-time), and displays it to the

operator.

This section describes each of the major elements.

LPR units

Each LPR unit is a turnkey system, which is comprised of the following elements:

• a PC Pentium running Windows XP

• LPR unit Windows application software package (described below)

• Recognition DLL – the recognition engine which is used to analyze the images and extract license plate string

• Camera/ Illumination unit to capture the images (detailed below)

• a I/O card - multiple I/O discrete lines - which supports the sensors, illumination control and optional gate-open signal (not required in this design).

• sensor to indicate a presence of the car (motion in this design)

• a list of known vehicles (such as buses or taxis) which will be analyzed separately in the traffic analysis

These components are shown in the following illustration.

Sensor Illum. control LPR Windows application ID strings Identified Vehicle

I/O CARD

Figure 18 LPR unit Architecture

When a vehicle triggers the sensor, the LPR application activates the illumination (if present - which is

controlled by the IO card) and captures a series of images (one or more image fields) which are captured by the

frame grabber or IP stream. It then proceeds with the identification of the car.

The LPR system is designed to work simultaneously with one to four traffic lanes. However

in the SeeCarFlow system the traffic load will limit the number of lanes. According to the

traffic load for each location it will be determined if a single or double lane will be assigned

for each PC.

The application also reports on special vehicles that are listed in the �white-list� (listed in a

file, cars.txt). This is used in SeeCarFlow application to differ between standard vehicles and

special vehicles when displaying the results.

LPR unit Windows Main Display

The LPR unit application main window is designed to display as much information as

possible in a friendly user interface. The window is divided into several display panes, where

each pane is responsible for a single system task (video images, system status, identified

code, ...).

The different panes include:

- Image Display - shows video from the camera (from one of the lanes)

- History Log - display a list of all identified vehicles



- Identification Window - a graphical representation of the identified vehicle

- Status Window - system messages and sensor status display

An example of such display is shown in the following figure. The vehicle (that is shown) was

captured with a front camera/illumination unit and displayed on the image display; its license

plate number is shown in the bottom list and graphical display.

Figure 19 Example of LPR application main view

The application can operate automatically without operation control and can be minimized

to a background application.

Figure 20 Personalised Plates are recognised using LPR

12.5.5 LPR Client



The LPR unit application is designed to share the vehicle identification results with other processes. This can be

done either by external communication (RS232 or TCP/IP) or by application-to-application messages. The latter

method is implemented by DDE messages that are sent after each identification cycle. Each vehicle generates

one message containing the recognition result.

When a vehicle triggers the motion sensor, the LPR unit application captures a series of images (one or more),

then proceeds with the identification of the car. After completing the identification cycle, a DDE message

containing the ID is sent to the PC Windows system (along with more information: date and time, lane number,

‘white-list’ vehicle and image pointer).

This message is intercepted by another application - the LPR client process. This process receives the

messages, groups a series of recognition results together (for reducing the network bandwidth requirements)

and sends the recognition block across the network via TCP/IP. This data is received at the control room by the

SeeCarFlow central application and used for traffic processing.

Network



Figure 22 Networked LPR Sites

The sites will be connected together by a network. The recognition results (grouped in a

block consisting of several recognition results) are transmitted over the network The TCP/IP

protocol is used for this transmission. Each of the Client applications will be a server in this

network, and connect to the client (the central application).

Each of the Client/Server applications has a configurable list of TCP/IP addresses that

specify the network connections. Adding a new site is simple so the traffic control system is

easy to expand.

The information sent across the network includes also the system status in each site for on-

line diagnostic status display.

Additional activities are possible through this network by maintenance technicians:

• change of configuration parameters settings • software update • update of list of known (allowed) vehicles • Other applications as required.

System operation:



Vehicles identified as being important to log on a frequent basis would be enrolled into a

database. This database would be stored on the central servers and mirrored on the local

computers. When a vehicle that is enrolled into the database passes the camera, notification

of that vehicle would be generated, along with any other required information, such as driver

name or taxi association or type of vehicle etc.

The database could be generated from:

- Existing Databases of busses and taxis, such as eNATIS, Durban Metro Database, etc.

- Driver enrolment via SM, E-Mail, phone, web site etc. - Uses of the system, that is when a vehicle is detected using the lane it could be then

the enrolled into the allowed database. - Any other existing or future data source as required.

The cameras will capture all vehicles entering and exiting the lanes, storing the vehicle

image, license plate if present, date, time, lane and image. The software will allow vehicles to

be enrolled into an allowed list, linking this information to the license plate. If a vehicle is

detected which is not allowed to use the lane, this will be recorded. If the vehicle is in the

black list, an alarm will be generated. The average speed of the vehicle will be automatically

determined and an alarm generated if it is over the set speed

12.5.6 Data Output

Data will initially be acquired and kept for every vehicle, and WEIGH BRIDGE SITES will

determine which images to keep and which to discard. The data for each vehicle will include:

1) Image - A stand alone, human readable monochrome JPEG image with a resolution of

approximately 1600 pixels by 1024 pixels (for See Lane). This image will display the detected plate

on the best recognized image within the set of images that are captured for that event.



Figure 23 Front end of the LPR solution

2) Optical Character Recognition Data:

� Lane (Site) unique ID integer number

� License Plate string

� Date and Time of Image Capture

� File Name (a link to the name of the resulting .jpg file stored in the WEIGH BRIDGE SITES server)

� Confidence of the recognition result

The data will be transmitted to the TCS in two forms:

a) Windows DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) Message - sent to the WEIGH BRIDGE SITES server

over the TCPIP network. The DDE will contain the VES Optical Character Recognition Data as

described above.

b) Image file - which will be stored on the WEIGH BRIDGE SITES server, then transmitted to the

WEIGH BRIDGE SITES over the NCS via a dedicated transfer service running on the Trip Processing

Server.



12.5.7 OCR Engine

All of the systems (2 See Lane sites of 4 front cameras) employ the same See Car OCR engine, which

will run on the local processing units. The OCR engine processes images, locates the relevant license

plate ID in the image, and produces an alphanumeric result for each image processed. The OCR

engine is based on neural network technology and can be trained to recognize different fonts,

characters and syntax. The systems supplied for the WEIGH BRIDGE SITES Project are specially

trained to recognize license plates in Southern Africa, and focus on the local South African plates.

12.5.8 SEE DATA

SeeData is a software service application that connects a cluster of recognition systems (such as

SeeLane or See Lane) together by a network. The networked units can thus report the recognition

results to a Central server.

12.5.9 Client-Server Architecture

SeeData is a set of applications, which comprise of the following elements (see also the

following illustration):

� Remote units (one or more) - also referred as client nodes, or front end units. Each unit has a

LPR (License Plate Recognition) recognition system which generates recognition messages which

report the results.

� Central server (single) The SeeData application is connected to one or more remote units, and

collects their reports to a central recognition system.

It is also possible to send commands from the Server

to the remote (front-end) recognition units, although

this is not described in the diagram.

Figure 24 See Data

12.5.10 Events data

The See Data application, which runs on the Central server, communicates with front-end



OCR hosts by a protocol designed especially for HTS application. On this protocol the HTS

recognition systems report the results to the central server.

The See Data protocol is based on TCP/IP. It allows to See Data to operate in cross OS

environment. For example, See Data could receive recognition results from Windows (See Lane

for example) and embedded Linux (C4, Compact Car Controller).

Images and video clips

If “Transfer Images” option is configured in See Data settings the application will handle the

transfer of locally saved images and video clips from the front end hosts to the SeeData Central

Server station.

Figure 25 Rear LPR capture and recognition with alarm Recognition data

Vehicle topic is used for transmitting of recognition data (See Data output). Items of the topic are:



� CarCode – string contains recognized license plate

� Name – string contains driver first and last name as was found in database

� Time – event time in format: “Mon Jul 03 14:29:06 2006”

� LaneId – string contains lane index (zero based)

� Authorized – string “1” (vehicle is authorized) or “0” (not authorized)

� File – string contains saved vehicle image path

� Confidence – string contains recognition confidence (“0”-“100”)

� PlateType – string contains one based index of plate format

� Trigger – string contains exact trigger time stamp in format:”032809233”, which

means 3 h 28 m 09s 233 ms

12.5.11 LOG OF EVENTS

The images below illustrate the data obtained from two lanes, from 12:57 to 13:17

Figure 27 Vehicle Logged



12.5.12 ALARM GENERATION

A list of vehicles which, when captured, will result in an alarm, can be added to the system.

Which vehicles are added to the list, who adds them and how they should be removed needs

to be determined.

The alarm list is stored on the central computer and replicated on each of the field

computers.

Figure 28 Alarm on vehicle detected

12.5.13 System stability

The See Lane systems are based on proven applications that are running in many installations

worldwide - in hundreds of lanes and many diversified applications. The newly developed systems

share most of the common modules in these systems (such as the recognition DLL), and are tested in

various types of tools and methods that are used by HTS development for years. Thus, their stability is

guaranteed by the experience in such systems, the development and test methodologies, and in the

proven components that build these systems,

Nevertheless, additional mechanisms are used to ensure the stability of the systems. These are part of

HTS utilities, which ensure that if the systems will fail, they will be reactivated and also report their

failure to external monitor systems. These utilities include:



� SeeService – a watchdog utility that periodically checks the aliveness of the application. In case the

application does not respond, the application will attempt to rerun the application. If this fails, the

utility resets the PC. In any such case the event is written to the Windows event log.

� SeeMonitor – this tool resides on a central server, and monitors the state of each system – by

checking the Windows event log. It will alert external systems in case of a fatal error. It can also show

soft errors (warnings) status, and display a set of graphs of past recognition results, which is a very

important diagnostic tool.

� SeeCleaner – This utility cleans the old images directories after a specified time has elapsed, and

also cleans local diagnostics files. Thus, the system will not grow endlessly in size, a common source

of problem in other Windows based systems (which will not happen here).

12.5.14 Redundancy

In See Lane systems there is a need to guarantee an absolute up time, i.e the systems always work,

even in case of malfunction or required service.

The system is designed to work in an automatic redundancy mode, where the 2nd server

automatically takes over the functions of the other down server.

The dual servers can be set to monitor each other through network messaging and revert to

degraded mode if there is a fault in one of the servers. To support this mode, both servers should

be connected to the same cameras. In the parameters each lane will be designated as “primary”

normal connection, or “secondary” redundancy mode.During the redundancy mode the system is

working in a degraded mode, and the performance may be lower than the normal mode in case of

certain traffic patterns.

Note that the See Lane system is limited to 4 concurrent cameras in the redundancy state.

So a recommended configuration is to have one server normally connected to 2 lanes, the

other server connected to a single lane, while in the backup mode one server will service

the 4 lanes.
