Passengers Have Three Dimensions — IRIS Has 3D
Iris
Iris-GmbH Infrared & Intelligent Sensors have made significant research and development efforts to accommodate the fact that passengers have three dimensions. The solution is "IRMA Matrix."
The new IRMA Matrix automatic passenger counter (APC) system makes use of the modern "Time-of-Flight (TOF)" technology. TOF is utilizing the speed of light and breaking new ground in terms of extending the infrared sensor technology toward the third dimension. Infrared light is sent out by the sensor, reflected by the passengers and detected by the sensor. The speed of the light, i.e., the run time from sensor to object and back to sensor, is used to measure the distance between sensor and detection object. Since the speed of light is a constant and thus a very robust measurement, the IRMA Matrix sensor system is not affected by temperature, brightness, moisture, sun/shade contrast or condition of the background (reflecting or non-reflecting surfaces). Consequently, IRMA Matrix is immune against influences and/or changes of the environs.
The IRMA Matrix sensor makes use of infrared LEDs. It uses the phase difference between the transmitted and reflected/decoded signals and the runtime of the signals to calculate the distance between sensor and detection objects. A matrix of 500 image points is provided to scan the door area. By measuring the distance for each individual pixel of the image, the IRMA Matrix sensor enables the provision of true three-dimensional images in real time. The high number of image points allows for extreme high count accuracy. Distinction between passengers and objects — recognition of wheelchairs, strollers etc. — will be possible in the near future. Individual body characteristics can be taken into account and individual persons are detected even when boarding or alighting in tightly packed crowds or when boarding and de-boarding simultaneously.
The Simple and Cost-Effective Way to Make Wheels Safe
Nord-Lock Inc.
Conventional wheel nuts used on heavy vehicles loosen. This unfortunate and long-standing truth has resulted in wheels dislodging and causing accidents involving property damage, personal injuries and, in the worst case, fatalities. Productivity, delivery efficiency and operating costs are negatively affected. The new Nord-Lock wheel nut eliminates unintentional loosening of wheel nuts, the main cause of wheel loss. Based on proven wedge-locking technology, the Nord-Lock wheel nut is designed for both on- and off-road vehicles. It suits standard flat-faced steel rims, M22x1.5 studs and is easy to install. The Nord-Lock wheel nut is available this spring.
