11 EExxeeccuuttiivvee SSuummmmaarryy We have pleasure in submitting our proposal for the INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE OF A FULLY INTEGRATED WEIGHBRIDGE SYSTEM AT VARIOUS PIKITUP (PTY) LTD SITES, namely; Robinson Landfill Site, Marie Louise Landfill Site, Goudkoppies Landfill Site,
Ennerdale Landfill Site, Panorama Compost Plant Site, and Incinerator Plant Site
(incorporated into Robinson Landfill Site in our documentation). Through the rollout of the
Weighbridge Systems on offer in this proposal we will ensure a cost effective reliable and
efficient solution with limited but effective maintenance and costs for Pikitup � JHB. Our
optimal goal is to achieve availability beyond 99.95%.
Sub Saharah Scales is committed to provide superior service to our clients. The leadership
status we have already achieved in most sectors of industry is a result of our dedication to
service excellence. With the combination of our extensive experience, knowledge and
management skills in the industrial fields, and international affiliate and partner support
available to us, Sub Saharah Scales is well positioned to provide the most innovative and
cost effective service to our clients. In developing this proposal we have comprehensively
analysed the requirements for each site and ascertained that the following will be the correct
solution for Pikitup-JHB;
Robinson Landfill Site Phase 1 � the existing 3 (three) weighbridges at the entrance gates
will not require immediate replacement but rather upgrading. These upgrades will be both
electronic and mechanical repairs. The Incinerator Weighbridge only requires the office
equipment as Indicator, etc.. Back Office link up to be phased immediately thereafter. Time
frame to operational status to SABS Specification � 14-20 work days from tender award.
Phase 2 – new weighbridge installation will be phased in over the next 3 months and will
include if required 3 new weighbridges at the front entrances, but the incinerator weighbridge
will not be replaced. Phase 3 – back office installation, tire shredders, booms, integration,
camera systems etc. will be phased in from Phase 1 starting date.
Marie Louise Landfill Site Phase 1 � the existing 2 (two) weighbridges at the entrance
gates will not require immediate replacement but rather upgrading. These upgrades will be
both electronic and mechanical repair. Back Office link up to be phased immediately
Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18 PR 70/2007
I-Cube Confidential Page 9 Printed 12/2/2007
thereafter. Time frame to operational status to SABS Specification � 15-25 work days from
tender award. This includes an additional extra 2 load cells per weighbridge, which will be
used as spares or on a third weighbridge once the 2 weighbridges have been shortened to
12x3M each. Phase 2 – new weighbridge installation will be phased in over the next 3
months and will include if required 2 new weighbridges at the front entrances. Phase 3 –
back office installation, tire shredders, booms, integration, camera systems etc. will be
phased in from Phase 1 starting date.
Goudkoppies Landfill Site Phase 1 � the existing 2 (two) weighbridges at the entrance
gates will not require immediate replacement but rather upgrading. These upgrades will be
both electronic and mechanical repair. Back Office link up to be phased immediately
thereafter. Time frame to operational status to SABS Specification � 15-25 work days from
tender awar. Phase 2 – new weighbridge installation will be phased in over the next 3
months and will include if required 2 new weighbridges at the front entrances. Phase 3 – back office installation, tire shredders, booms, integration, camera systems etc. will be
phased in from Phase 1 starting date.
Ennerdale Landfill Site Phase 1 � the existing weighbridge at the entrance gates will not
require immediate replacement but rather upgrading. These upgrades will be both electronic
and mechanical repair. Back Office link up to be phased immediately thereafter. Time frame
to operational status to SABS Specification � 12-23 work days from tender award. The
current situation requires immediate emergency repair on a loadcell to become fully
operational, whereafter Phase 1 should commence. Phase 2 – new weighbridge installation
will be phased in over the next 3 months and will include if required a new weighbridge at the
front entrance. Phase 3 – back office installation, tire shredders, booms, integration, camera
systems etc. will be phased in from Phase 1 starting date.
Panorama Compost Site Phase 1 � the existing weighbridge at the entrance gates will not
require immediate replacement but rather upgrading. These upgrades will be both electronic
and mechanical repair. Back Office link up to be phased immediately thereafter. Time frame
to operational status to SABS Specification � 5-10 work days from tender award. Phase 2 – new weighbridge installation will not be required at all unless the weighbridge is too small or
short whereby an extension will be required for 6M and an electronics upgrade. Phase 3 – back office installation, tire shredders, booms, integration, camera systems etc. will be
phased in from Phase 1 starting date.
Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18 PR 70/2007
I-Cube Confidential Page 10 Printed 12/2/2007
This proposal is based on a three-year contract period, after which, the contract is negotiable
for renewal or could be terminated upon which a closure cost is determined and recovered
as deems fit and agreed to by both parties as WIP (Work In Progress) will have to be taken
into consideration.
We have selected the following three sites as reference sites and referrals:
1. Independent Freight Carriers � Pretoria Heavy Haulage & Transportation Sector
Contact: Martin De Beer - 083 453 1203
Consists of 2 weighbridges handling up to 250 payloads/day
2. Vriesland Saai Kudde � Vryburg Construction Sector
Contact: Jop Fourie � 082 777 7491
Consists of 4 weighbridges used for brick weighing
3. MC Engineering � Harrismith Diversified Agricultural Sector
Contact: Mikkie Coetzee � 082 773 9995
Consists of 13 weighbridges which are installed throughout South Africa, and
are handling about 1000 transactions per day.
At all these sites we have obtained experience which could benefit Pikitup, as volume
flows over the weighbridges are very similar.
Sub Sahara Scales is a multifaceted company with global interests and support to
accommodate this project. We have numerous projects which are ongoing at
different locations with credible clients as MacDonald�s Transport (R200k and
ongoing), MBFI Mozambique (R1,2M and ongoing), ACSA (R4,5M), Wonderboom
Airport (R2,7M), Jacobs Equipment, Blue Chip Snacks, Okiep Mine, Limpopo Scrap
Metals, etc.. Sub Saharah Scales has strategic partners in associated businesses
wherein we are confident that we can improve the utilization of the current
weighbridge systems. In addition and in the spirit of partnership, Sub Saharah Scales
jointly with Pikitup, can facilitate third party work for HDI, BEE or similar entities, for
example a cleaning service at the weighbridge sites, to name but one example.
Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18 PR 70/2007
I-Cube Confidential Page 11 Printed 12/2/2007

Stop-Maintenance� solutions in the weigh and mass sectors, and has affiliation and
support from other scale companies as SASCO Africa, Scales Incorporated, etc.. for
whom Sub Saharah Scales provide maintenance support and services. This market
exposure has enabled Sub Saharah Scales to continuously improve our experience
base and provide us with the ability to measure our practices and procedures under
�best practice principles�. We are able to structure our services to harness this
experience base and to provide our workforce with a growth and development path,
international exposure and job security.
Sub Saharah Scales has found that the maintenance activities cannot be treated as a
separate entity as it has direct influence on the effectiveness of the core business. In
view of this we base our development of the maintenance on your business goals
where your operational requirements are considered.
We guarantee that we will add value to your concern, which will result in a mutually
beneficial partnership to both organizations.

2.1 Background
PIKITUP has a number of facilities that accept a wide range of different types of waste from both the
local and extended area. The proposed WASTE WATCH solution is designed to log all transactions,
obtain the required weight and bill the owner of the vehicle, to ensure that businesses meet the proper
costs of disposing of their waste. The "WASTE WATCH" System supplies a cost-effective means of
managing and enforcing the legal disposal of waste by:
• Using Automatic Number Plate Recognition ANPR to record the number of times a vehicle uses a recycling centre/s
• Providing a central database that will store all vehicle records
• Providing an automated method of issuing permits/vouchers via the internet
• Providing an automated method for commercial companies to pay for permits/vouchers via the Internet
• Freeing staff at waste sites from having to check the credentials of suspect vehicles - valid permit holders being alerted to staff via SMS message or equivalent
• Providing a 'Managed System' reducing cost and management overhead
• Giving the ability to share data between local authorities, preventing companies from illegally obtaining permits/vouchers
• Providing optional monitoring cameras for the detection of illegal 'fly tipping'
• Providing enforcement software for the prosecution of fly tippers
Figure 1 Typical Waste Watch Solution
PIKITUP will be provided with a fully functional, integrated weighbridge system which will:
Enrol existing & new customers by name, access card, finger print, account no., billing
details, vehicle license plate, and tare weight. The proposed Waste Watch solution will
provide for the integration of access card hardware to electronically capture tare weights of
vehicles, removing an manual intervention. A wide range of communication links (GPRS,
Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18 PR 70/2007
I-Cube Confidential Page 13 Printed 12/2/2007
Wireless, Ethernet and fibre) between the local weighbridge�s and the other sites is provided,
linking to Pikitup�s HO IT systems. These communication links allow over 99.95% availability
to automated database update in real time for accurate and reliable billing purposes. This is
essential for the provision for a block out system; ensure non paying customers are
prevented from having access.
The database provides standardised weighbridge tariffs of Rx per 1000 kg inclusive of VAT
and integrates with Pikitup�s current Venus Financial system / SAP. The database stores
tare weights of the accountholder vehicles and allows real time update of all data as
required. The ability to identify outside parameter tare weights and force the vehicle to be
reweighed ensures no illegal tare weights are permitted (where a tare weight is obtained with
a vehicle filled with water). The database allows for the determination of an unlimited waste
characterisation by allowing for a multiple of different waste categories to be captured. A
wide range of automated reports for ease of analysis and reporting can be created and is
demonstrated.
The fully automated boom gates are opened via license plate recognition or with an
electronic access enabled once customer has swiped the electronic access card reader or a
PIN code or a finger print. All linked to tyre slashes preventing drive through and enabling a
cashless operation. The type of waste is recorded and displayed to the operator, along with
recording real time tonnages (data) with tare weight deduction. The ability to operate each
weigh bridge in both directions facilities weigh bridge access efficiencies, along with free exit
once off loaded.
2.2 Scope
The integrated, comprehensive solution proposed includes either an upgrade or a new weigh
bridge per site. All weigh bridges will be installed with software which will monitor the status
of the weigh bridge. SYSTEM OPERATION: NEW USER Enrol using the Pikitup�s web site or on arrival on site or at the HO. Provide billing details,
license plate no�s of vehicles, name, contact details, no of vehicles etc. Select how to pay
(debit from credit card) or on account or cash etc. User selects how they want to receive the
account, weekly, monthly, on exit, by SMS or via the web site or via E-Mail. Field created for
an image of the vehicle, plus driver image, weight, etc. User selects if they wish to use an
Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18 PR 70/2007
I-Cube Confidential Page 14 Printed 12/2/2007
access card (cost for this) or fingerprint (free) linked to a code or all 3 access control
systems.
EXISTING USER Enters site, load is captured and recorded (if an open vehicle). If closed, records an image of
the vehicle. Approaches weigh bridge; 6M from the boom vehicle license plate is captured
from both front and rear. The license plate number is sent to the database. If no license
plate is present, an image of the vehicle is sent to the database. Driver stops at the access
control reader. If a car, uses lower point. If a truck, uses higher access reader. Driver could
then, swipe a card OR enter a pin (account no) OR place his finger on the reader or do a
combination of all three. If allowed to proceed (account paid) boom opens, grippa bars
retract and driver moves forward onto the weigh bridge. Once the weight of the vehicle is
captured and the type of waste determined, boom on the exit open and driver can enter the
site.
On exit, if the vehicle tare weight is in the system, deduction occurs automatically and the
vehicle does not need to exit over the weigh bridge. The driver would approach the exit lane.
6M from the boom vehicle license plate is captured from both front and rear. The license
plate number is sent to the database. If no license plate is present, an image of the vehicle
is sent to the database. Driver stops at the access control reader. If a car, uses lower point.
If a truck, uses higher access reader. Driver could then, swipe a card OR enter a pin
(account no) OR place his finger on the reader or do a combination of all three. If allowed to
proceed (account paid) boom opens, grippa bars retract and driver moves forward and exits
site. The invoice can be collected at that time or e-mailed or an SMS can be sent to the
driver / owner.
On exit, if the vehicle tare weight is NOT in the system vehicle is required to exit over the
weigh bridge. The driver would approach the exit weigh bridge lane. 6M from the boom
vehicle license plate is captured from both front and rear. The license plate number is sent
to the database. If no license plate is present, an image of the vehicle is sent to the
database. Driver stops at the access control reader. If a car, uses lower point. If a truck,
uses higher access reader. Driver could then, swipe a card OR enter a pin (account no) OR
place his finger on the reader or do a combination of all three. If allowed to proceed (account
paid) boom opens, grippa bars retract and driver moves forward and onto the weigh bridge.
Weigh calculated and entered into the system automatically. The invoice can be collected at
that time or e-mailed, printed off the web site or an SMS can be sent to the driver / owner.

4.1 ROBINSON SITE
Summary
Based on our experience and site visits at Robinson the following is proposed:
As Per Tender Document
1. New Weighbridges may only be required at a later date and we recommend achieving an operational status of all 4 weighbridges at Robinson within 20 working days of tender award, whereafter, if Pikitup should desire, only the front three weighbridges could be phased in for replacement with new weighbridges.
2. Innovative Software Solutions have been offered and will operate on an open database, such that future expansion or integration is not impeded or limited. The software will link the license plate recognition, CCTV recording of the load, card access control, PIN code, finger print, invoice, billing, weigh bridge info, tare weight and other information as obtained per transaction into a meaningful, real-time record.
3. Communications Links for real time up date and interfacing to the financial systems (Venus and SAP at a later date) has been catered for and can be accommodated. Existing integration to SAP is currently available.
4. Automated Database is virtual real time based for billing purposes with scale information, which includes, but is not limited to tare weights, real time tonnages, product type, transporters information, vendor/supplier number, etc., and will integrate to Venus and SAP.
5. The lightning protection was found to be good, but not up to the high standard which is required to support the expensive electronics. Thus an upgrade to an improved lightning protection system is recommended.
6. Load Cell replacements/upgrades – Sub Saharah Scales will firstly strive to achieve an availability of 95% plus with the current infrastructure of the existing weighbridges within 15 working days of order or resolution with Pikitup, by doing the following : (1) fix the existing system by commissioning and repair to achieve an SABS operational status, then ; (2) upgrade the electronics on the existing weighbridges if necessary ; then (3) upgrade each weighbridge to a recommended
Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18 PR 70/2007
I-Cube Confidential Page 21 Printed 12/2/2007
fit for purpose application. This may/or may not include new weighbridges, and this will only be done in consultation with Pikitup Management and staff. Please note that the Load cells and indicators for the upgrade and new weighbridges will be directly compatible in type, quantity and application, thus there will be extra revenue charges for the electronics.
7. Electronic Access Control - Speed Control will be exercised by the installation of tire slashers/shredders before the weighbridges on entrance and exit to each weighbridge, and at the exit to the site, giving a total of two per Weigh Bridge and an extra one for free exit, required per site. Each weighbridge will have automatically controlled booms gates at the entrance and the exit to the weighbridge and the site. Access card readers are included as an option, allowing entry via a card, finger print and or a PIN. Account holders or staff would be enrolled on site, at head office or at other locations where payment detailes could be captured. Our offer includes Image & Text recognition on the number plates, company emblems, and if Pikitup so wish a Pikitup self-generated Text Number can also be applied to each vehicle at a specific location. It is there fore possible to enable access based on one, some or all of the following: License plate, finger print, access card, PIN code or account number.
8. The system will include real time Block-Out of financial or malicious
offenders. It is there possible to restrict access based on one, some or all of the following: License plate, finger print, access card, PIN code or account number.
9. Commissioning and Installation to SABS Approved Standards – The systems (both Upgrade & New – where applicable) will comply to relevant SABS Standards under SABS Certification 1396 (SA420 Instrument), or 1382 (ESIT ART Instrument), or 1300 (M&D Instrument).
10. Training – ongoing training will be provided for minimum of 2 days per month for the first year, 1 day per month thereafter for the Pikitup Group.
11. Maintenance Plan – a fully comprehensive Service Level Agreement has been included to accommodate this for a minimum of 3 years.

Summary
Based on our exposure and site visits at Goudkoppies the following is prevalent :
As Per Tender Document
1. New Weighbridges may only be required at a later date and we recommend achieving operational status of all 2 weighbridges at Goudkoppies by 15 January 2008, whereafter, if Pikitup should desire, the two weighbridges could be phased in for replacements with new weighbridges.
2. Innovative Software Solutions have been offered and will operate on an open database, such that future expansion or integration is not impeded or limited.
3. Communications Links for real time up date and interfacing to the financial systems (Venus and SAP at a later date) has been catered for and can be accomodated. Existing integration to SAP is currently available.
4. Automated Database is virtual real time based for billing purposes with scale information, which includes, but is not limited to tare weights, real time tonnages, product type, transporter information, vendor/supplier number, etc., and will integrate to Venus and SAP.
5. The lightning protection was found to be good, but not up to the high standard which is required to support the expensive electronics. Thus an upgrade to an improved lightning protection system is recommended.
6. Load Cell replacements/upgrades – Sub Saharah Scales will firstly strive to achieve an availability of 95% plus with the current infrastructure of the existing weighbridges within 15 working days of order or resolution with Pikitup, by doing the following : (1) fix the existing system by commissioning and repair to achieve an SABS operational status, then ; (2) upgrade the electronics on the existing weighbridges if necessary ; then (3) upgrade each weighbridge to a recommended fit for purpose application. This may/or may not include new weighbridges, and this will only be done in consultation with Pikitup Management and staff. Please note that the Load cells and indicators for the upgrade and new weighbridges will be directly compatible in type, quantity and application, thus there will be extra revenue charges for the electronics.
7. Electronic Access Control - Speed Control will be excercised by the installation of tire slashers/shredders before the weighbridges on entrance to each weighbridge, and at the exit to the site, giving a total of 3 required. Each
Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18 PR 70/2007

10. Maintenance Plan – a fully comprehensive Service Level Agreement has been included to accomodate this for a minimum of 3 years.
Other Issues Not Mentioned
11. Mechanical conditions of the weighbridges will still support a minimum of 15-20 years operation should major maintenance now be carried out. This would include resurfacing and painting of all 2 weighbridges with a SABS approved Epoxy paint which is Acid, Alkali, or Bio Chemical Resistant.
12. Provision of rodent prevention & protection to all cabling.
13. Rewelding of all appropriate joins on both the weighbridges..
14. The plinths of both the weighbridges with associated ramps to be raised by a minimum of 250mm to allow sufficient clearance to facilitate daily cleaning and inspection of the weighbridge below the platform.
15. Railings/guide rails around the existing weighbridges at the front have been found to be sufficient and only requires repair.
16. Drainage around the weighbridges to be re-assessed.
17. Printer systems to be upgraded to a later technology , which is inexpensive and simple to operate or replace.

4.4 PANORAMA SITE
Summary
Based on our exposure and site visits at Panorama the following is prevalent :
As Per Tender Document
1. A New Weighbridge may only be required at a later date and we recommend achieving operational status of the weighbridge by 15 January 2008, whereafter, if Pikitup should desire, a new weighbridge could be phased in.
2. Innovative Software Solutions have been offered and will operate on an open database, such that future expansion or integration is not impeded or limited.
3. Communications Links for real time up date and interfacing to the financial systems (Venus and SAP at a later date) has been catered for and can be accomodated. Existing integration to SAP is currently available.
4. Automated Database is virtual real time based for billing purposes with scale information, which includes, but is not limited to tare weights, real time tonnages, product type, transporter information, vendor/supplier number, etc., and will integrate to Venus and SAP.
5. The lightning protection was found to be good, but not up to the high standard which is required to support the expensive electronics. Thus an upgrade to an improved lightning protection system is recommended.
6. Load Cell replacements/upgrades – Sub Saharah Scales will firstly strive to achieve an availability of 95% plus with the current infrastructure of the existing weighbridges within 15 working days of order or resolution with Pikitup, by doing the following : (1) fix the existing system by commissioning and repair to achieve an SABS operational status, then ; (2) upgrade the electronics on the existing weighbridges if necessary ; then (3) upgrade the weighbridge to a recommended fit for purpose application. This may/or may not include a new weighbridge, and this will only be done in consultation with Pikitup Management and staff. Please note that the Load cells and indicators for the upgrade and new weighbridges will be directly compatible in type, quantity and application, thus there will be extra revenue charges for the electronics.
7. Electronic Access Control - Speed Control will be excercised by the installation of tire slashers/shredders before the weighbridge on entrance and exit to the weighbridge, and at the exit to the site, giving a total of 3 required. The Existing
Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18 PR 70/2007
I-Cube Confidential Page 37 Printed 12/2/2007
Slasher may be re-used. The weighbridge will have automatically controlled booms gates at the entrance and the exit to the weighbridge and the site. Access card readers are included as an option, and our offer includes Image & Text recognition on the number plates, company emblems, and if Pikitup so wish a Pikitup self-generated Text Number can also be applied to each vehicle at a specific location. The system will include real time Block-Out of financial or malicious offenders.
8. Commissioning and Installation to SABS Approved Standards – The systems (both Upgrade & New – where applicable) will comply to relevant SABS Standards under SABS Certification 1396 (SA420 Instrument), or 1382 (ESIT ART Instrument), or 1300 (M&D Instrument).
9. Training – ongoing training will be provided for minimum of 2 days per month for the first year, 1 day per month thereafter.
10. Maintenance Plan – a fully comprehensive Service Level Agreement has been included to accomodate this for a minimum of 3 years.
Other Issues Not Mentioned
11. Mechanical condition of the weighbridge will still support a minimum of 15-20 years operation should major maintenance now be carried out. This would include resurfacing and painting of the weighbridge with a SABS approved Epoxy paint which is Acid, Alkali, or Bio Chemical Resistant.
12. Provision of rodent prevention & protection to all cabling.
13. Rewelding of all appropriate joins on all the weighbridge.
14. The plinths of the weighbridge with associated ramps to be raised by a minimum of 250mm to allow sufficient clearance to facilitate daily cleaning and inspection of the weighbridge below the platform.
15. Railings/guide rails around the existing weighbridges at the front have been found to be sufficient and only requires repair.
16. Drainage around the weighbridge to be re-assessed.
17. Printer system to be upgraded to a later technology , which is inexpensive and simple to operate or replace.

6.1.1 Transaction Management
The concept of transaction management is one that this proposal is based on and consists of
a basic underpinning approach that defines each assessment of a vehicle as a transaction.
The transaction identifies the date, time, location, camera/lane, license plate number,
instantaneous weight, associated type of weight image identifier, (and any other information
that is assessed). The identification of the same vehicle at the exit location is a secondary
transaction and the relevant weight relationship between these two transactions is assessed
and determines the amount the customer is billed. Each of these transactions is sent through
to the service centre and is then matched against any of the registered lists in the database.
The matching of the vehicle to a list will result in the relevant entity being informed of the
event through SMS or email or post or live on the web site with a secure link to the image for
copying and processing of the necessary action, viz. payment, etc.
6.1.2 Weigh Bridge Processing System
The entity responsible for the processing of the transactions in as close to real-time as the
networks will allow. The transaction, with the data that uniquely identifies the vehicle, driver
and location will be passed through the broad based network in http format to the service that
will record the transaction. The vehicle information will then be checked against the lists
received from those enrolled. If a match is identified, the listed entity provider will be notified
of the identification through and email with a link to the image on the PC on site. This gives
the exception entity an opportunity to validate data captured and confirm that this is a valid
transaction and will then trigger the necessary action relevant to the event.
The system will then wait for the vehicle to be next identified and will ascertain the vehicle
weight. Once these have been identified the relevant entity will be notified via an email with a
reference to the image for the entity to validate and then process the necessary amounts
due. This can be done through our solutions, but it is assumed that the current incumbent
would still be used for this.
Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18 PR 70/2007
I-Cube Confidential Page 45 Printed 12/2/2007
6.1.3 Registered Reference Entity
This refers to the entity that provides information against which the identification of the
vehicle or driver must be checked. In this instance it will be the provision of vehicles
registered ti use the landfill site. If vehicles are identified that do not comply with the list then
the ETA will be informed of the instance via email and would then have the opportunity to
deal with the event as they see fit. Manual payment would then the allowed to proceed.
6.1.4 Reporting
Real-time reporting is possible via a web interface that will provide a dashboard of
information that must be agreed and specified in consultation. Standard reports can also be
extracted from the Database with a reasonable amount of flexibility.

7.1.4 Transaction Capacity Parameters
7.1.4.1 Number of transactions that can be handled during peak periods;
� The data capture software has been designed to allow multiple users (via Thin Client)
to capture as fast as the Data Capture clerk is able to work. Our Data capturers
presently capture 200 to 600 transactions per hour per clerk.
� The viewer software is designed to be operated (via Thin Client or stand-alone
workstation) to be added to as per customer needs.
� The permanent camera systems have no limit on the number of violations captured in
peak periods due to the fact that this system is PC based and all violations are
captured and then processed to hard drive in a real time processing mode � it can
handle up to 10 simultaneous events in the buffer, thus it sums to about 5
transactions per second.
7.1.4.2 Response times for maintenance;
We have the policy to respond to systems going down immediately on a real time basis. We
believe the better the service to the client � the better the payment rate.
- SMS response on the system going offline;
- E-Mail response for real time tracking;
- internet remote view and control for online response;
- walk in maintenance � to be done on site
- Office at site allowing on site response
7.1.4.3 Length of time required for running updates and batches;
The software uses MySQL as database backbone. It is a multi tasking system and batch
process is handled in the background. Thus the user is able to use the system while batch
processes are running. The average throughput is dependent on the hardware you use i.e.
pc and network. The average could be anything from 500 to 2000 records per second.
Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18 PR 70/2007
I-Cube Confidential Page 53 Printed 12/2/2007
7.1.4.4 Period of running reports;
Depending on the amount of data to be collected From Viewer, a typical report is the number
of transactions per month, the from-date, to-date and amount of sites to include reports can
take anything from 1 to 10 minutes. Reports can be run at same time as other functions �
ETMS is a multi tasking system. The reports can run while the system is printing notices and
at the same time the Call Centre can be running etc. We can adapt the reports to your needs
should the need arise.
7.1.4.5 Length of time required for back-ups;
Back-ups are carried out automatically after-hours by means of schedules tasks and usually
takes between 1 and 10 minutes.
7.1.4.6 Capacity to run off-line;
The proposed System runs independently from the SAP System thus the ability to process
and view transactions is dependent on the following factor:
• The database located on a central server to which connection has been lost or is
database stored on local machine, thus each pc has its own database.
- Advantage of local database � viewing and processing is not dependent on
network
- Disadvantage of local database � if info in corrected on a outstanding account,
only the user that changed it has the change on his/her system unless each
user is notified manually.
The system is configurable to suit the customer�s needs and preferences.
• Procedure, capacity and time required for batch verification and control. One can
verify between 200 and 600 per hour, depending on the operator.
• Procedure, capacity and time required for Notice number verification.
Ciprus/ETMS or TCS system handles this function. The data string is loaded into
the Traffic management System and the Notice number is automatically
generated per violation. The ETMS handles this process immediately

8.1 Average Speed Determination (ASD)
The following is an example of software developed using the information generated from the
LPR hardware and software in the field. The SeeCarFlow application uses the data
generated by a number of LPR sites in the field for various applications. For PIKITUP a
similar application would be created and implemented after joint specification.
Speeding vehicles on site are a major problem, seriously affecting the safety of users and
staff on site. ASD can monitor each vehicle and ensure the speed is acceptable plus the
vehicle is tipping where required. Waste placed in the wrong area is a serious problem on all
sites.
Overview
The central application receives recognition updates from all the sites, analyses the data
and matches the vehicle appearances, calculates the data and stores it to database, and
displays it in real time.
The application has the following main display options:
• Map � Travel map with real-time statistics • Travel time � travel time between the dumping sites (in tabular form) • Special Vehicle Travel time � travel time for own vehicles • Flow � distribution of the traffic (e.g., 23% of traffic is dumping at a certain part of
the site, 95% of a certain type of waste is going to a certain place in the landfill) • Status � diagnostics of all sites
These options are described in the following paragraphs.
Travel Map
This option displays a bitmap of the travel map along with travel time figures updated online
on the map. The display includes the map bitmap, the location of sites on the map, and the
travel time between the points displayed on line segments (in both directions if available).
The following figure illustrates an example.
Map display example (without zoom)
Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18 PR 70/2007
I-Cube Confidential Page 61 Printed 12/2/2007
To focus on a specific area the operator can press (with the left button of the mouse) on a
specific area, and the program will zoom up at that point showing the vicinity of the zoomed
area. Another click will restore the map to its original size. The travel time from Panorama
Entrance to the tipping face is 37 minutes, while the travel time in opposite direction (from
tipping to exit) is only 3 minutes. The time is displayed in a purple colour (predefined in the
settings) along the line segments (with same colour) connecting both sites.
The map display can also display (upon user selection) the average speed in each traffic
segment and the distance between the points.
Travel Time tabular display
The following figure shows a typical display of the Travel time tabular display. The Sites are
listed as A- H (in this example) and the Site location appears on the right side. The average
time between all relevant points is listed in the matrix, where the rows are the �from� site and
the columns are the �to� sites. For example, Site C (third row) to Site A (first column) appears
as 33 minutes – which was calculated according to the readings from both sites. This value is
updated in real-time.
Special vehicles Travel time
The travel time is calculated separately for special vehicles, based on an �allowed� list of
vehicles (such as PIKITUP vehicles). The user can add, edit, delete and search the list of
special vehicles. This list is used then to calculate the travel time for these vehicles. The
display is identical to the regular vehicles travel time tabular display. This option displays the
traffic distribution: the percentage of the traffic flow from point to point. This data is displayed
in a flow matrix, similar to the travel time display. It provides a status of the flow of the traffic
from point to point.
Status: LPR unit status
When selecting this option the program displays the live status of all LPR units. This
includes:
• the number of recognition messages received from each point in a given period, • the percent recognition success (and an alert if a low threshold is reached), • the last time the unit has been initiated or started a recovery process. • On-line Diagnostics results (each unit reports on its status in a periodic cycle)
Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18 PR 70/2007
I-Cube Confidential Page 62 Printed 12/2/2007
Note that in case of a change in the status of an LPR unit (failure of the on-line diagnostics, or missing messages from that
unit), the SeeCarFlow application will display a message and an alarm will be heard.
Settings
The number, name and position of the sites are defined in the application settings and
could be easily updated if more sites are added.
Other parameters can also be changed in the settings. All settings are password protected
in order to avoid unauthorized changes.
8.2 Travel Time Calculations
This section describes the method of travel time calculations as used in the central
application.
Travel time
Subtracting the recognition times between the sites (see illustration) generates the basic
travel time between a pair of sites. Travel Time between Entrance B & Tipping Face A = {Time at B} – {Time at A} Note that not all sites will be considered pairs. A list of legal pairs is defined in the program
setting (for all cases that measure the traffic in the correct direction).
This calculation will be done separately for standard vehicles and special vehicles (as listed
in the �white list�).
Average Travel time
The average travel time is calculated by averaging the individual travel times that were
recorded in a pre-defined period (every several minutes):
Average Travel Time = (Sum {travel times}) / {Number of vehicles} Since some vehicles stop on the route or may pass twice, which will affect the calculation.
Therefore a standard deviation will be calculated per site pairs. In case a certain time
exceeds the standard deviation it will be excluded from the average travel time. The % of
permissible change over the standard deviation is an application parameter.
Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18 PR 70/2007
I-Cube Confidential Page 63 Printed 12/2/2007
Comparison Accuracy
Each vehicle will be matched between the sites, with a comparison accuracy that is defined
in the application parameter (�degrees of freedom in match�).
Examples:
1. if the accuracy is 0 then the vehicle code ABC123 must only match ABC123. 2. If the parameter is 1 then ABN123 will match ABC123 (but not ACN123 – the
comparison is performed in the proper position). Furthermore, left or right shift will also be accepted: 1ABC12 will also be acceptable.
Even if the match is accepted, the program will first match in full accuracy and only then try
the lower degree of accuracy (if defined as such).
Storage and export of Results
All calculated travel time statistics will be recorded in a database. This data can be
extracted later for off-line processing. The calculated data will also be transmitted over the
network for other applications using TCP/IP.
The settings above allow the average speed to be determined between site 1 & 2

Exact Position
The exact position of all the items shall be finalised after the axle load stations have

8.3.8 Permanent WIM Operations
The majority of WIM data collection is now done with permanently installed weight sensors,
although many sites do not collect data continuously at these sites. Instead, they attach data
collection electronics to previously mounted sensors when data collection is desired. The
scale sensors are then calibrated (or should be calibrated), and data are collected for the
desired time period.
Permanently mounting WIM sensors allows them to be installed flush with the roadway
surface. When done properly, this eliminates the bump that vehicles experience when
crossing surface-mounted sensors. The removal of impact loads on sensors and the
elimination of extra vertical motion caused by bumps result in improved system accuracy.
Permanently mounting sensors flush with the pavement surface also decreases the impact
loads on sensors themselves, which in turn increases sensor life. One common cause of
sensor failure is when sensors become directly exposed to horizontal forces from tire
contact. This exposure often leads to early fatigue failure for both sensors and the bonds
between sensors and pavement.
A variety of other factors play important roles in both the output accuracy and the life of
permanently mounted sensors. Pavement at permanent sensor locations should be:
" Flat (no horizontal or vertical curves) " Smooth (no bumps or other surface conditions that increase dynamic vehicle motion) " Strong (to reduce pavement flex underneath the WIM sensor), and " In good condition.
Flat, smooth pavement reduces vehicle dynamic motion and increases the accuracy of all
WIM sensors. Strong pavement results in longer-lived pavement, which in turn increases
sensor life. Strong pavement is especially important for strip sensors that are embedded
directly into the pavement. The output from these sensors depends on the performance of
the pavement itself. If pavement strength varies significantly over time (e.g.,with
Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18 PR 70/2007
I-Cube Confidential Page 70 Printed 12/2/2007
environmental conditions), sensor output will also vary, and this greatly decreases the
likelihood of accurate sensor calibration.
Good condition pavement reduces vehicle dynamics and makes the bond between sensors
and pavement more likely to last. A common cause of sensor failure is the failure of sensor/
pavement bonds, which is often traced to poor pavement condition.
Poor installation is another common cause of this failure.
Poor cleaning or drying of pavement cuts results in a weak bond that allows moisture
intrusion and further deterioration of the bond.
Moisture is also a common cause of equipment failure because of intrusion into either the
sensor itself or the communication lines connecting the sensor to the data collection
electronics.
Each vendor and each state highway agency has its own procedures for fighting moisture
intrusion. Similarly, agencies and vendors have equipment and procedures for protecting
permanent equipment from lightning strikes, other environmental effects (extreme
temperatures, humidity, dust), insects, power surges, and various other causes of equipment
or communications failure. No single document exists that lists best practices for protecting
equipment from these common problems.

I-Cube Confidential Page 71 Printed 12/2/2007
8.3.9 SITE SELECTION
The site selected for a WIM system should be based on meeting the required "site design
life" and accuracy necessary to support the user. In order to meet these requirements, the
geometric design, pavement condition, and general characteristics of a potential site should
be considered. Selecting an adequate site for the WIM location is a very important part of
meeting the established WIM system requirements.
GEOMETRIC DESIGN The geometric design of a roadway is an important factor that provides a foundation for using dynamic
load measurements to estimate static loads accurately. This is due to the influence longitudinal and
transverse offsets have on the behaviour of a vehicle. The ASTM Standard sets guidelines for the
horizontal curvature, the longitudinal gradient, the cross (lateral) slope, and the width of the paved
roadway lane. The guidelines set standard geometric design requirements for each type of system.
According:
The ASTM Standard (E 1318-94) Geometric Design Requirements and the COST 323 WIM
Technical requirements.
Horizontal Curvature
The maximum allowable horizontal curvature for the roadway is identical for all four types of
WIM system installations. The roadway has to have a horizontal radius of not less than 1740
meters (5,700 feet) for a distance of 46 meters (150 feet) before and after the WIM sensor.
The radius is measured at the centre line of the lane in which the sensor is installed.
Roadway Grade
The maximum allowable roadway grade is the same for WIM systems. For these systems the
roadway grade cannot exceed two percent for a distance of 46 meters (150) feet before and
after the sensor. No documentation was found for the minimum allowable amount of
longitudinal waves in the roadway approaching the sensor.
Cross Slope
The maximum allowable cross (lateral) slope of the road surface is the same for the HS WIM
systems. For these systems the cross slope cannot exceed two percent for a distance of 46
meters (150 feet) before and after the sensor.
Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18 PR 70/2007
I-Cube Confidential Page 72 Printed 12/2/2007
PAVEMENT CONDITION
The roadway pavement condition is important in the reduction of vehicle bounce.
The guideline set forth in the ASTM Standard E 1318-94 states that for a distance of 46
meters (150 feet) before and after the sensor the roadway surface �shall be maintained in a
condition such that a 150 millimeter (6 inch) diameter circular plate 3 millimeters (0.125
inches) thick cannot be passed beneath a 6 meter (20 foot) long straightedge. The standard
also states that a foundation must be provided and maintained to accommodate the sensors.
SITE LOCATION
The location of a WIM site should be based on more than just the need for truck traffic data.
The site needs to be located in an area with specific qualities including:
1. Availability of access to power and phone
2. Adequate location for controller cabinet
3. Adequate drainage
4. Traffic conditions
Availability of Access to Power and Phone
The site should have access to an AC power source and telephone utilities. Solar power and
cellular phones can be used if utilities are not available. The power source and phone service
used at a site is dependent upon the amount of truck data collected at the site. For more
active sites our experiences determined, that wired phone service would be more cost
effective than cellular (wireless) service.
Adequate Location for Controller Cabinet
The controller cabinet should be located so that it will function throughout the design life of
the site. The cabinet needs to be in an area so that:
• It cannot be hit by a vehicle leaving the roadway, preferably behind a guardrail • It is accessible with a clear line of sight to the sensors • It can be serviced without endangering the technician • Items three and four are important because technicians may need to spend time
at the controller cabinet during system testing, calibration, and maintenance • Air condition and dust protection must be available •

99 IImmpplleemmeennttaattiioonn SScchheedduullee The substantial experience developed from installing systems locally in South Africa and
internationally will prove extremely beneficial during install of the proposed solution. Key to
the successful installation and faultless operation is the initial design, based on a complete
TCP/IP backbone, consisting of ADSL, wireless links and GSM connectivity. The connectivity
allows any PC, database or camera to connect to any computer, ensuring maximum uptime.
The ability to obtain feedback from the equipment in the field in real time, allowing proactive
response to any issue ensures all challenges are resolved before they escalate.
A meeting will be arranged to discuss any modification to the system design, layout, identify
the positions of the proposed install or if any of the options presented will be selected. A
weekly meeting is requested for feedback on progress plus the ability to immediately identify
any issues which might arise. Should any issue need to be addressed, all role players can
be kept informed of the progress and decide on a suitable way forward. This is the ideal
time for the operational staff to get involvement, so they understand the solution from an
operational level. At each meeting additional reading material will be provided to the
operational staff for study and prepare.
The systems will be pre-built before being installed, with substantial tests to limit any on site
issues. This is the ideal time for the operational staff to get hands on involvement, so they
understand the solution from a board level.
Once the systems are installed, extensive tests begin. As these are all done from the control
room this is the ideal opportunity to continue the on the job training of the personal who will
operate the system. Each stage of the process will be extensively tested: from loop
detection, multiple image capture, OCR, transfer of the data (plate, lane, date, time, etc.),
loading users and those plates where an alarm should be generated. Tests will be performed
using dedicated vehicles travelling at specific speeds to ensure the entire system is fully
operational, including the measured distance between sites.
The time critical nature of the project requires total commitment from a dedicated solution
provider who has substantial local experience in providing this solution.

This system is installed in the gates of a South African University. It is used for gate control
and theft prevention. The license plate of the cars entering is
recorded along with the driver face. This data is compared to
the information at the exit and the guard can see that the
person at the entrance to the University was different than
the person driving the car out. The system also provides
statistics and data logging, as well as an on-line surveillance
of the gates.
After the installation of this system the number of thefts decreased sharply. A sample actual
record of an attempted theft is shown in the following animation.
The SeeCarTrap system is based on SeeLane recognition system and has special
modifications for a roadside mobile system. This system is used for catching cars in cases of
warrant of arrest, unpaid fines or taxes and stolen cars. It deals with a database of up to 0.5
million entries. The stand-alone real-time system automatically recognizes the car plate
number then searches a database. It sounds an alarm when a car has been detected in the
'black' list, and displays the vehicle and arrest information contained in the record. This
revolutionary system simplifies the roadblock operation and thus helps to increase selective
enforcement.
The system is also connected to a large outdoor display that shows the car number, the car
type, the reason for arrest and the name of the driver. This display can be seen by the police
officer down the road. All the officer needs to do is wait for the siren, then stop the car and
verify the arrest details, as seen in the film clip below.
The system is portable and installed in minutes by the police officer. It is installed in a battery powered lunch-box PC. It operates day and night on a free-flowing traffic at average speeds of 10-80 KMH. The system contains all the elements of a recognition system: hardware (frame grabber, optional IO card, and a special camera/illumination unit optimized for this application) and software (SeeRoad application and a client application). The application includes a special software trigger option which reduces the need to place a detector on the road, making the system portable and easy to install.

This system is installed in a traffic police violations processing center in Pretoria, South Africa (in conjunction with Labat Traffic Solutions using the Startrap Intelligence violation data processing system). It is used to automate the process of handling the fine processing (a fast turnaround from film to fine). The application reads both the license plate off the frame - together with violation information. A sample violation is shown in the following photo. The frame, read from the film, includes the view of the car, the vehicle plate, and the violation information - which includes the date, location and speed, and is attached in the upper-right corner. The system performs both access-control, parking and traffic-flow management functions. It provides solutions for a congested University entrance and enforces an overall traffic policy in its gates and parking lots.
The entrance display provides traffic guidance by displaying one of the 3 options (left 'Guests' for guest parking, middle 'GO' for entrance, and right for 'Inquiries'). The display is controlled by the management software which has multiple authorization lists. Faculty members can use an automated telephone Interactive Voice Response system which accepts requests for temporary passes. The security guards and officers can also change the permit lists on-line. The system keeps records of the traffic events. It also controls the access-control to internal parking lots.
The system consists of a cluster of LPR systems, a management software, and an outdoor traffic light display unit. Each of the camera/illumination units (SeeCarHead ) is installed in a anti-vandalism metal cover. The LPR units are based on (SeeLane server application) which interfaces the hardware and performs the recognition process. It sends recognition messages to the client applications. Each of the client applications perform traffic management decisions and connect via network to a management software on a remote server.
This system is installed in the entrance to a new UK office compound and provides automatic access to authorized cars. The records of the entry and exit are recorded. The
Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18 PR 70/2007
I-Cube Confidential Page 93 Printed 12/2/2007
system automatically opens the gate for vehicles that match the authorized list. A large outdoor display greets the vehicles (as seen behind the gate).
This system part of a toll road system in South Africa. The license plate is read and used
as a key to fetch the vehicle information from the toll database. The information is compared to a swipe card which is used by the driver. This integrated system reduces fraud and increases the toll income.
The toll system is based on a multi-lane (SeeLane) system which reads and verifies the
plate data and sends a message to the toll control application. This application uses the recognition information to obtain the vehicle data, which is matched to the swipe card information. The results are displayed to the operator and also sent to the control room for further processing of the frauds, and long-term data logging.

12.4 LPR Spec Sheet
12.4.1 Overview
The Traffic Logging System (TLS) Solution will be provided to WEIGH BRIDGE SITES
to accommodate the need for consistent, real-time traffic data. The traffic data will come
from the License Plate Recognition (LPR) of all vehicles passing through the covered
transport lanes. The system, referred to as the TLS, will provide a take-and-discard
methodology for the vehicles� video and license plate data. Vehicles using the lanes will be
captured allowing proactive, real time reaction to traffic movement and long term studies of
traffic data. The road side portion of the solution proposed uses the See Lane DLL software.
The TLS will allow the Authority to - improve safety on roads and eliminate �black spots�; - limit road closures and traffic delays associated with road works and
unexpected events; - manage the flow of traffic to minimise delays; - provide effective signage; - increase traffic capacity; - provide better road user services such as information signs and systems.
The See Lane DLL is a state-of-the-art vision based recognition system for medium speed
roadside installations. The system can integrate multiple lanes and multiple cameras per lane
into a sophisticated vision-based License Plate Recognition (LPR) system that identifies and
tracks number plates on vehicles travelling at medium speeds. The system is used world wide
for various applications, including traffic data analysis, toll roads, rush hour monitoring and
average speed and car flow studies. The application is supported by a full set of optical and
hardware sub-systems as well as software applications and utilities.
Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18 PR 70/2007
I-Cube Confidential Page 102 Printed 12/2/2007
The system will work to detect and capture the license plate information for every vehicle passing
through the covered lanes. It will be the responsibility of the motion detection software to determine
vehicle presence, via the advanced digital recording software. The TLS cameras will then capture a
set of images, the See Lane DLL will process these and output the best image and the resulting license
plate, lane, time and associated data to the network. The WEIGH BRIDGE SITES servers will
capture the data for further processing as required.
- Flow estimation – the number of vehicles and types of vehicles can be used for road conjunction analysis that can assist traffic planning.
- On-line traffic report – the roadside information can be reported on web sites in order to supply live reports from the freeway.
- Monitoring – the recognition information may be used for various security applications. - Average Speed – using outputs of several sites, a back end program can be used to
calculate the average speed of the vehicles, based on the time of journey. - Enforcement - The license plate data can be used for a wide range of enforcement
techniques, including outstanding traffic fines, warrants, etc. The average speed can be used to issue violation tickets.
12.4.2 System description:
The proposed system consists of a number of lanes, within the LANDFILL area, with multiple
cameras monitoring the specific areas. Each camera is connected wirelessly to an IP switch
which allows any of the connected computers to view and process the data obtained from the
cameras. If any of the cameras goes down, an alarm is generated immediately. If any of the
computers fail, the other computers automatically take over the processing of the cameras
attached to that computer.
All vehicles passing the camera will be recorded in terms of the time, lane, direction, license
plate (if present), automatic detection of unauthorized vehicles, an alarm if the vehicle is
wanted (black list) and other database operations.
System Architecture SeeLane is a turn-key system comprises of the following elements:
� PC running Windows XP Pro
� SeeCar DLL - which is used to analyze the images and extract license plate string
� 1-4 Recognition Camera unit(s) to capture the images. These cameras are high resolution state
of the art cameras that are connected to the PC via a gigabit network.
� Gigabit Network – 8-port switch and network card (or motherboard network).
Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18 PR 70/2007

This is an internal network used for communicating with the cameras.
Figure 5 Elements making up See Lane � Illumination units to illuminate the plates. The illumination units may be external lights, or
solid state strobe units that are supplied.
� I/O card – Not required for this system but could be provided. The input/output board with
multiple I/O discrete lines supports the sensors and illumination control. It is connected via a
cable to a terminal interface board with easy connections and indicator lights.
� BW dedicated rear plate camera – used as an option to supply images used for specific
capture of the rear plate only. This is used for additional recognition where no front plate is
present.
� Sensors to indicate the presence of the car (a sensor for each lane). These are not required and
are not included.
� See Lane
The See Lane Windows application interfaces the hardware elements (camera/illumination unit(s),
IO card and sensor). It controls the illumination (if present), reads the video inputs and passes the
images to the DLL in order to obtain the recognition results. The application displays the image
and recognition results. It then exports the results using messages and image files. Its man-

machine interface supports on-line setting control, which can easily adapt the application to
various types of configurations. The image below illustrates how the items link together on
site and in the control room. All the items indicated in the image below reside on site, except
for the remote database which will be on the central server in the control room.
12.4.3 Block Diagram
A breakdown of the See Lane system is shown in the following illustration, which shows a typical
configuration of a See Lane LPR system (single lane). Although a monitor is shown, it is optional,
and a remote access thru the network is usually the standard
configuration.
Figure 6 See Lane Connectivity
The See Lane application runs as a background Windows application in the PC (in the centre),
which has a gigabit network connection (from a network card or the motherboard), via a Gigabit
switch to the IP recognition camera(s) (with integrated illumination). The number of these high
resolution cameras depends on the width and number of lanes, but is limited to 4 or less cameras
based on traffic volume.

12.5.1 Site Layout: Installation
The design of the system allows for a motion trigger. For each trigger a series of images will be
captured. The images will then be automatically reviewed by the application running on the Lane
Controller, and the best result will be selected among all
identifications. The application will also select the best
image to be reported that will contain the plate image.
Once a result is determined, the data will be sent by a
message to the server. Below is a diagram depicting the
physical layout of the equipment involved in the single-
lane See Lane TLS system:

The effective field of view of each unit is
about 12 meters in order to achieve the
proper plate size. The SCH (See Car
Head camera / illumination unit) is
mounted at the side of the lane as close
as possible to the edge (parameter C) and
at height of about 5.1 meters. The range
(parameter B in the figure) is 15.5 meters
from the “loss of detection” point (where
the rear of the vehicle leaves the detector) using a 60 mm lens.

The SCH unit should be installed at about 15.5M from the loop detection line for standard lens.
See the illustration above, parameter B. This translates to about 19 meters or more from the front
of the car (for standard lens) since a typical vehicle is about 4 meters.
The side distance (parameter C) in this installation is identical – 0.0 to 0.5 meters. Side of the Traffic lane: Install the SCH as close as possible to the traffic lane, within 0.0 to
0.5 meters. See the illustration above, parameter C.
12.5.2 ON WEIGH BRIDGE BEAMS
The trucks will be confirmed fully on the weigh bridge by using beams around the weigh
bridge. If these beams are obstructed, then the weight from the weight bridge will not be
obtained. Only once the beams are unobstructed will the weight be obtained from the weigh
bridge.
12.5.3 TRAFFIC LOGGING
The following illustration shows one of the sites (�Site A� out of N sites) monitored by a
License Plate Recognition (LPR) unit. Each unit is connected via a network to a control room.
Each LPR unit transmits its recognition results to the control room computer where the data
is collected and analyzed. The central computer application then updates and displays the
traffic status that includes average journey times between the LPR sites and also traffic flow
statistics. This information is presented in real-time and saved to a traffic database for off-
line processing.

12.5.4 System Architecture: Overview
The system is based on Hi-Tech Solutions� Vehicle License Plate Recognition (LPR) stand-
alone systems. Multiple LPR units are installed at several permanent sites (2) located in
selected urban road routes (N3 and Smith Street) in the city. Each LPR system performs
real-time recognition on passing cars in a single traffic lane. The LPR unit is based on a
Windows application that controls its integrated camera/illumination unit and an LPR
recognition engine.
Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18 PR 70/2007
I-Cube Confidential Page 111 Printed 12/2/2007
Figure 17 Image Capture and OCR
Each LPR unit reports the vehicle recognition events via TCP/IP network messages to a
central computer in the traffic control room. The central computer application reads the
recognition results from all sites, calculates the travel data (in real-time), and displays it to the
operator.
This section describes each of the major elements.
LPR units
Each LPR unit is a turnkey system, which is comprised of the following elements:
• a PC Pentium running Windows XP
• LPR unit Windows application software package (described below)
• Recognition DLL – the recognition engine which is used to analyze the images and extract license plate string
• Camera/ Illumination unit to capture the images (detailed below)
• a I/O card - multiple I/O discrete lines - which supports the sensors, illumination control and optional gate-open signal (not required in this design).
• sensor to indicate a presence of the car (motion in this design)
• a list of known vehicles (such as buses or taxis) which will be analyzed separately in the traffic analysis
These components are shown in the following illustration.

I/O CARD
Figure 18 LPR unit Architecture
When a vehicle triggers the sensor, the LPR application activates the illumination (if present - which is
controlled by the IO card) and captures a series of images (one or more image fields) which are captured by the
frame grabber or IP stream. It then proceeds with the identification of the car.
The LPR system is designed to work simultaneously with one to four traffic lanes. However
in the SeeCarFlow system the traffic load will limit the number of lanes. According to the
traffic load for each location it will be determined if a single or double lane will be assigned
for each PC.
The application also reports on special vehicles that are listed in the �white-list� (listed in a
file, cars.txt). This is used in SeeCarFlow application to differ between standard vehicles and
special vehicles when displaying the results.
LPR unit Windows Main Display
The LPR unit application main window is designed to display as much information as
possible in a friendly user interface. The window is divided into several display panes, where
each pane is responsible for a single system task (video images, system status, identified
code, ...).
The different panes include:
- Image Display - shows video from the camera (from one of the lanes)
- History Log - display a list of all identified vehicles
Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18 PR 70/2007

- Identification Window - a graphical representation of the identified vehicle
- Status Window - system messages and sensor status display
An example of such display is shown in the following figure. The vehicle (that is shown) was
captured with a front camera/illumination unit and displayed on the image display; its license
plate number is shown in the bottom list and graphical display.

12.5.5 LPR Client
Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18 PR 70/2007
I-Cube Confidential Page 114 Printed 12/2/2007
The LPR unit application is designed to share the vehicle identification results with other processes. This can be
done either by external communication (RS232 or TCP/IP) or by application-to-application messages. The latter
method is implemented by DDE messages that are sent after each identification cycle. Each vehicle generates
one message containing the recognition result.
When a vehicle triggers the motion sensor, the LPR unit application captures a series of images (one or more),
then proceeds with the identification of the car. After completing the identification cycle, a DDE message
containing the ID is sent to the PC Windows system (along with more information: date and time, lane number,
‘white-list’ vehicle and image pointer).
This message is intercepted by another application - the LPR client process. This process receives the
messages, groups a series of recognition results together (for reducing the network bandwidth requirements)
and sends the recognition block across the network via TCP/IP. This data is received at the control room by the
SeeCarFlow central application and used for traffic processing.

Figure 22 Networked LPR Sites
The sites will be connected together by a network. The recognition results (grouped in a
block consisting of several recognition results) are transmitted over the network The TCP/IP
protocol is used for this transmission. Each of the Client applications will be a server in this
network, and connect to the client (the central application).
Each of the Client/Server applications has a configurable list of TCP/IP addresses that
specify the network connections. Adding a new site is simple so the traffic control system is
easy to expand.
The information sent across the network includes also the system status in each site for on-
line diagnostic status display.
Additional activities are possible through this network by maintenance technicians:
• change of configuration parameters settings • software update • update of list of known (allowed) vehicles • Other applications as required.
System operation:
Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18 PR 70/2007
I-Cube Confidential Page 116 Printed 12/2/2007
Vehicles identified as being important to log on a frequent basis would be enrolled into a
database. This database would be stored on the central servers and mirrored on the local
computers. When a vehicle that is enrolled into the database passes the camera, notification
of that vehicle would be generated, along with any other required information, such as driver
name or taxi association or type of vehicle etc.
The database could be generated from:
- Existing Databases of busses and taxis, such as eNATIS, Durban Metro Database, etc.
- Driver enrolment via SM, E-Mail, phone, web site etc. - Uses of the system, that is when a vehicle is detected using the lane it could be then
the enrolled into the allowed database. - Any other existing or future data source as required.
The cameras will capture all vehicles entering and exiting the lanes, storing the vehicle
image, license plate if present, date, time, lane and image. The software will allow vehicles to
be enrolled into an allowed list, linking this information to the license plate. If a vehicle is
detected which is not allowed to use the lane, this will be recorded. If the vehicle is in the
black list, an alarm will be generated. The average speed of the vehicle will be automatically
determined and an alarm generated if it is over the set speed
12.5.6 Data Output
Data will initially be acquired and kept for every vehicle, and WEIGH BRIDGE SITES will
determine which images to keep and which to discard. The data for each vehicle will include:
1) Image - A stand alone, human readable monochrome JPEG image with a resolution of
approximately 1600 pixels by 1024 pixels (for See Lane). This image will display the detected plate
on the best recognized image within the set of images that are captured for that event.

� Lane (Site) unique ID integer number
� License Plate string
� Date and Time of Image Capture

� Confidence of the recognition result
The data will be transmitted to the TCS in two forms:
a) Windows DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) Message - sent to the WEIGH BRIDGE SITES server
over the TCPIP network. The DDE will contain the VES Optical Character Recognition Data as

12.5.7 OCR Engine
All of the systems (2 See Lane sites of 4 front cameras) employ the same See Car OCR engine, which
will run on the local processing units. The OCR engine processes images, locates the relevant license
plate ID in the image, and produces an alphanumeric result for each image processed. The OCR
engine is based on neural network technology and can be trained to recognize different fonts,
characters and syntax. The systems supplied for the WEIGH BRIDGE SITES Project are specially
trained to recognize license plates in Southern Africa, and focus on the local South African plates.
12.5.8 SEE DATA
SeeData is a software service application that connects a cluster of recognition systems (such as
SeeLane or See Lane) together by a network. The networked units can thus report the recognition
results to a Central server.
12.5.9 Client-Server Architecture
SeeData is a set of applications, which comprise of the following elements (see also the
following illustration):
� Remote units (one or more) - also referred as client nodes, or front end units. Each unit has a
LPR (License Plate Recognition) recognition system which generates recognition messages which
report the results.
� Central server (single) The SeeData application is connected to one or more remote units, and
collects their reports to a central recognition system.
It is also possible to send commands from the Server
to the remote (front-end) recognition units, although
this is not described in the diagram.

Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18 PR 70/2007
I-Cube Confidential Page 119 Printed 12/2/2007
OCR hosts by a protocol designed especially for HTS application. On this protocol the HTS
recognition systems report the results to the central server.
The See Data protocol is based on TCP/IP. It allows to See Data to operate in cross OS
environment. For example, See Data could receive recognition results from Windows (See Lane
for example) and embedded Linux (C4, Compact Car Controller).
Images and video clips
If “Transfer Images” option is configured in See Data settings the application will handle the
transfer of locally saved images and video clips from the front end hosts to the SeeData Central
Server station.

12.5.13 System stability
The See Lane systems are based on proven applications that are running in many installations
worldwide - in hundreds of lanes and many diversified applications. The newly developed systems
share most of the common modules in these systems (such as the recognition DLL), and are tested in
various types of tools and methods that are used by HTS development for years. Thus, their stability is
guaranteed by the experience in such systems, the development and test methodologies, and in the
proven components that build these systems,
Nevertheless, additional mechanisms are used to ensure the stability of the systems. These are part of
HTS utilities, which ensure that if the systems will fail, they will be reactivated and also report their
failure to external monitor systems. These utilities include:
Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18 PR 70/2007
I-Cube Confidential Page 122 Printed 12/2/2007
� SeeService – a watchdog utility that periodically checks the aliveness of the application. In case the
application does not respond, the application will attempt to rerun the application. If this fails, the
utility resets the PC. In any such case the event is written to the Windows event log.
� SeeMonitor – this tool resides on a central server, and monitors the state of each system – by
checking the Windows event log. It will alert external systems in case of a fatal error. It can also show
soft errors (warnings) status, and display a set of graphs of past recognition results, which is a very
important diagnostic tool.
� SeeCleaner – This utility cleans the old images directories after a specified time has elapsed, and
also cleans local diagnostics files. Thus, the system will not grow endlessly in size, a common source
of problem in other Windows based systems (which will not happen here).
12.5.14 Redundancy
In See Lane systems there is a need to guarantee an absolute up time, i.e the systems always work,
even in case of malfunction or required service.
The system is designed to work in an automatic redundancy mode, where the 2nd server
automatically takes over the functions of the other down server.
The dual servers can be set to monitor each other through network messaging and revert to
degraded mode if there is a fault in one of the servers. To support this mode, both servers should
be connected to the same cameras. In the parameters each lane will be designated as “primary”
normal connection, or “secondary” redundancy mode.During the redundancy mode the system is
working in a degraded mode, and the performance may be lower than the normal mode in case of
certain traffic patterns.
Note that the See Lane system is limited to 4 concurrent cameras in the redundancy state.
So a recommended configuration is to have one server normally connected to 2 lanes, the
other server connected to a single lane, while in the backup mode one server will service
the 4 lanes.
