  • Patent number: 6212468
    Abstract: A system for optically detecting vehicles traveling a road having a plurality lanes. The system includes a gantry provided at the road so as to straddle the plurality lanes. There are a plurality of optical line sensors provided on the gantry, for obtaining linear images of a surface of the road. There are optical line sensors arranged in two rows and in a staggered pattern such that each has a view field overlapping the view field of either adjacent optical line sensor by the sum of half the view field and a width of a motor cycle, photoelectric sensor apparatus consisting of photo-projector elements and photo-detector elements and optical axes which are parallel to each other and are substantially located in the position of the view field of the optical line sensors.

  • Patent number: 5537110
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is to accurately detect vehicles even under special conditions where vehicles go side by side, a motorcycle passes another vehicle in a traffic jam, or a shadow is cast on the road surface. The vehicle detecting system comprises a one dimension CCD camera 2 mounted above a road surface so as to provide one dimension light amount signal in the lane width direction from above the road surface and intermittent markings 6 disposed in the field of view of the one dimension CCD camera. When a vehicle 3 enters the field of view of the one dimension CCD camera 2, the modulation of one dimension light amount signal is disturbed. Therefore, a signal processing device 5 detects the vehicle on the basis of the output signal of the one dimension CCD camera 2 by checking the disturbance of modulation.
