The Under Vehicle Monitoring System SecuScan
essentially comprises a scanning unit, a workstation, traffic
lights and a light barrier; depending on the system
option.
SecuScan uses hard rubber pads and
protection ramps for the mobile system and is offered with a
steel construction for the static system. In addition,
SecuScan can be upgraded with a variety of additional options.

The scanning unit (height 9 cm/3.5")
consists of a line camera, a mirror and an infrared LED
lighting unit. Through a small slit in the scanning unit the
high-resolution camera captures the entire underside of a
vehicle in moving traffic.
In order to display the underside to scale
different heights of undercarriages (car/truck) as well as the
vehicle length are taken into account. The underside is then
displayed as high-resolution image on the screen.
To
simplify the correlation between the underside images
and
the corresponding vehicles an optional front-end
image
capture camera as well as an automatic license
plate
reader can be integrated.

The
SecuScan software provides the guards with all
collected
vehicle data on the control screen. Additional
information
can be entered manually.
Zoom
capabilities support the identification of details up
to
a size of 5 mm (0.2”). This facilitates the fast and
efficient
detection
and analysis of potential foreign bodies.
All
the data collected or manually entered can be stored
in
a database under the vehicle license plate number.
In
case of recurring vehicles the software provides the
possibility
to compare the current underside image with
an
already archived one of the same vehicle in order to
identify
potential deviations at a glance.
