Overview

The traffic-lines Vehicle Detection System (VDS) prevents overloaded vehicles from damaging bridges and roads – with fully automated, real-time monitoring.

Every day, overloaded and oversized vehicles place critical stress on roads, bridges, and tunnels. Many structures were not designed for today’s traffic volumes or axle loads.
The VDS solution from traffic-lines identifies and diverts non-compliant vehicles – reducing wear, preventing accidents, and extending the life of transport infrastructure.
Reliable. Accurate. Real-time.

Key Benefits:

• Automated weight and dimension detection (WIM + scanning)
• Live traffic monitoring without interruptions
• Immediate vehicle redirection
• Modular system tailored to your infrastructure

Products

Modular Technology. Maximum Protection.

The VDS is composed of intelligent modules working in sync. Each module is designed to deliver precise detection, control and redirection – with proven performance in real traffic scenarios.

Product Modules:

• Module 1 – Weight Detection (WIM)
  Detects axle loads and total weight while vehicles are in motion
  Highly accurate weighing from speeds as low as 5 km/h
  Securely assigns weight to the correct vehicle using induction loops
• Module 2 – Dimension & License Plate Detection
  Scanners and HD cameras measure vehicle height, width, and length
  Captures license plates for enforcement and documentation

• Module 3 – LED Signaling
  Dynamic LED displays guide drivers based on weight/dimension compliance
  Flashing warnings, diversion arrows, or stop signals

• Module 4 – Automated Barrier System
  Diverts or stops non-compliant vehicles before they reach the protected structure

• Module 5 – On-Site Weighing Platform
  Final verification and load redistribution if needed
  Enables legal processing in case of violations

Applications

VDS in Action – Where It Matters Most

VDS is designed for high-risk, high-traffic environments where overloaded vehicles pose serious threats to infrastructure and safety.

Use Cases:

• Motorway Bridges: Prevent premature wear or collapse due to overloaded trucks
• City Access Points: Control heavy-duty traffic in sensitive urban zones
• Tunnel Entrances: Stop oversized or overweight vehicles before entering
• Border Crossings: Enforce national weight limits and improve traffic flow
• Industrial Zones: Ensure compliance with load regulations on private roads
