Get real-time automated intelligence to accelerate throughput, enforce compliance, and ensure safety.
The Perceptics Infrared USDOT Number Reader captures USDOT, VIN and Motor Carrier numbers on commercial vehicles, day and night, using infrared illumination. Perceptics USDOT Number Readers have processed millions of images of commercial vehicle from all U.S. and Mexican states and Canadian provinces. The system can stand alone or be easily integrated with all current WIM technology.
When paired with the Perceptics License Plate Reader or Hazmat Placard Reader software, officials have multiple vehicle datapoints with which to make quick and informed decisions.
Product Highlights
- Accuracy of 90% on over 80% of commercial vehicles
- Accurately reads numbers in multiple fonts, and in different locations and orientations on the vehicle
- Mainline and ramp applications available
- Standard and wide angle options maximize image capture based on site geometry and vehicle speed
Reads USDOT, VIN and Motor Carrier Numbers in numerous fonts, sizes, and locations
Fast image processing to ensure minimal latency from time of image capture to when data is reported
Doesn't miss reads due to speed – reads USDOT number types and fonts on vehicles traveling up to 75 mph
Convenient Web interface for remote status and configuration
Scalable architecture and proven integration with WIM and other systems
Can easily be upgraded to read hazmat placards
