2On safety
This chapter provides information that concerns your own safety as well as the safety of
the plant operator.
▸Please read this chapter carefully before you begin working with the Traffic Information
Collector.
2.1 Qualified safety personnel
The Traffic Information Collector must only be mounted, commissioned, and maintained
by adequately qualified personnel.
A person is considered qualified safety personnel if he/she
•Has sufficient skills in the field of the respective equipment based on his/her technical
training and experience and
•Has been instructed by the manufacturer on system operation and all applicable safety
guidelines and
•Is familiar with all relevant country-specific occupational safety regulations, work safety
regulations, guidelines, and generally accepted technical rules and standards (e.g.,
DIN standards, VDE regulations, country-specific rules) to such an extent that he/she is
able to evaluate the safe condition of the power-driven machinery and he/she
•Has access to and has read the operating instructions.
2.2 Applications of the system
The Traffic Information Collector is a system for vehicle classification on multi-lane roads
with eye-safe 2D LiDAR sensors. The system takes the measurements automatically in
free-flowing traffic without any need for manual operation.
The TIC is designed for use in multi-lane, free-flowing traffic and stop-and-go traffic as part
of electronic toll systems. It can also be used for traffic management and analysis.
The Traffic Information Collector is available in the TIC102, TIC502 and TIC501 variants.
All three variants classify vehicles in up to 30 vehicle classes in accordance with the
specified category system and outputs vehicle data such as length, width and height as
well as speed.
The TIC102 and TIC502 profiling systems can be supplemented with a system function
for automated axle counting. In addition to the vehicle class and vehicle data, the number
of axles, the position of the axles and, if necessary, the height above the first axle are
determined.
Data output
All the data recorded by the individual system functions are made available via a TCP/IP
interface (TEMS Info interface).

2.3 Intended use
The TIC profiling system may only be used as described in section 2.2 Applications of the
system. It may only be used by qualified personnel in the environment in which it was
mounted and initially commissioned by qualified safety personnel in accordance with
these operating instructions.
The TIC is not a safety device for human protection and therefore does not comply with
any safety standards.
It is purely a measurement system without any safety functions and must only be used
in this capacity.
Consequently, any responsibility on the part of SICK is restricted to these defined and
limited properties of the measurement system.
If used in any other way or if alterations are made to the profiling system – including in
the context of mounting and installation – this will render void any warranty claims
directed to SICK AG.

2.4.3 Potential hazardous points
Laser protection
WARNING
Damage to the eye by laser beams
The 2D LiDAR sensors used in the profiling system conform to Class 1 laser (eye-safe)
criteria according to IEC 60825-1 (latest version); see laser warning plate on the device
for publication date. This ensures compliance with 21 CFR 1040.10 except for the
tolerances according to Laser Notice No. 50 of July 26, 2001.
The laser beam operates at a wavelength of γ = 905 nm (invisible infrared light). The laser
beam is not visible to the human eye.
The radiation emitted in normal operation is harmless to human skin and eyes.
Improper use (e.g., opening the housing and stopping the motor) can result in dangerous
exposure to radiation.
▸Never open the 2D LiDAR sensor housing. Opening the housing does not interrupt the
operation of the laser beam.
▸Pay attention to the laser safety regulations as per IEC 60 8251 (latest version).
•No maintenance is required to ensure compliance with laser class 1.
•The laser output aperture is the inspection window on the 2D LiDAR sensor.
•The laser warning is located on the right-hand side of the 2D LiDAR sensor.
Electrical current
DANGER
Risk of injury and damage caused by electrical current
Improper handling of live devices may lead to severe personal injury or death by electric
shock!
▸Electrical installation and maintenance work must always be carried out by personnel

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS | TIC
DANGER
Damaging potential equalization currents due to different ground potentials
The profiling system has been designed and tested for electrical safety in accordance with
EN 60 950-1 (2006-04) and EN 60 950-1 / A11 (2009-03).
The profiling system is connected to the peripheral devices (voltage supply, PLC/host,
any other sensors, etc.) via shielded cables. The shield of each cable is connected to the
metal housing of the corresponding system components via the system plug.
If the peripheral devices have metal housings and if the cable shields are also connected
to these housings, it is assumed that all devices involved in the system have the same
ground potential.
This is achieved by fulfilling the following conditions, for example:
•Mounting the devices on conductive metal surfaces.
•Correctly earthing the devices and metal surfaces in the system.
•Low-impedance and current-carrying equipotential bonding between areas with
different ground potentials, if necessary.
If these conditions are not met, e.g., on devices in a widely distributed system spanning
several buildings, different ground potentials may cause potential equalization currents
to flow along the cable shields between the devices, thereby creating hazards.
DANGER
Risk of injury and damage caused by potential equalization currents
Potential equalization currents between the profiling system and the peripheral devices
can have the following effects:
•Dangerous voltages on the metal housing, e.g., of the 2D LiDAR sensors
•Incorrect functioning of or irreparable damage to the devices
•Damage/irreparable damage to the cable shields due to heating and cable fires.
Commissioning/operation/maintenance
WARNING
Risk resulting from incorrect commissioning and configuration!
Do not commission without testing by qualified personnel!
Before carrying out initial commissioning of the profiling system, you must have it checked
and approved by qualified safety personnel.
WARNING
Avoid strong vibrations and jolts at the measurement site
Do not allow the system components of the profiling system to be exposed to excessive
vibrations or jolts as a result of construction work at the measurement site or within its
immediate vicinity (work involving compressors, road rollers/compactors, etc.).
▸Switch off all components of the profiling system if strong vibrations are anticipated.

3System description
This chapter describes the layout and operating principle of the TIC profiling system,
in particular the interaction of the different components.
Always read this chapter before mounting, installing, or commissioning the TIC.
3.1 System functions of the TIC product family
The TIC profiling system is available with the TIC102, TIC502 and TIC501 system
functions.
The initial TIC102, TIC502 and TIC501 system functions are used for vehicle detection.
They provides a 3D point cloud for the vehicle, which serves as the basis for calculating
the measurements. To do so, the system functions, depending on the variant, use
2D LiDAR sensors of type LMS111-S05 or LMS511 SE (system extension) (referred to
LMS111 and LMS511 for short in the following). For the TIC102 system function, the
2D LiDAR sensors are permanently installed in a housing. In the TIC502, the 2D LiDAR
sensors are pre-assembled on a plate.
The two system functions for vehicle detection, TIC102 and TIC502, can be supplemented
by a system function for automated counting of vehicle axles. This system function uses
a LMS511 SE 2D LiDAR sensor.
All system functions are controlled via an Traffic Controller via TCP/IP.
Fig. 1: TIC system functions
A Traffic Controller can process the information of a maximum of four system functions:
Either four TIC102, four TIC502 or four TIC501 units. The system functions cannot be
combined in one Traffic Controller.
The supplemented system function for axle counting is thereby classified as a TIC102 or
TIC502. That means: If a TIC102 is supplemented by two system functions for axle
counting, only two TIC102 system functions can be connected to the Traffic Controller.
The system functions for classifying vehicles and for detection of the vehicle dimensions
require their own sensors. They use the vehicle detection data.
Since the dimensions are not measured, but only calculated, no accuracy can be
specified. The TIC profiling system therefore only provides an indication of vehicle
dimensions.

2D LiDAR sensors
The 2D LiDAR sensor records the contour of the passing vehicle. To do this, it establishes
a measuring range and scans the vehicle using a non-contact time-of-flight process.
The laser beam is emitted through the inspection window. The scan plane position of the
LMS511 is indicated by a housing marking next to the inspection window (see the circle in
the figure below).
In the TIC102, the 2D LiDAR sensors are installed as a fixed component in the housing.
The laser is beamed through special output apertures in the housing.
Fig. 2: Laser output aperture on the LMS111 and LMS511 2D LiDAR sensors
The 2D LiDAR sensors automatically measure contamination on the inspection window.
The level of contamination is displayed directly on the device or displayed via the Traffic
Controller and/or transmitted to the downstream customer system.
For detailed information about the operating principle of the 2D LiDAR sensors, please
refer to the operating instructions for the LMS111 and LMS511 product families.
Traffic Controller
The Traffic Controller uses the installed profiling software to calculate the vehicle
dimensions using the vehicle contour, the vehicle class and other data.
At the same time, the Traffic Controller acts as the central control unit for the profiling
system. Using its TCP/IP Ethernet interface, it constantly provides the downstream
systems with all system data, the measuring points, measurement results, and system
messages.
The TCP/IP interface is also used for set-up, calibration, and fault analysis with the aid of
tools.

3.2 System components and scope of delivery
NOTE
Thorough inspection for completeness and damage
It is recommended that you carefully check for and report transport damage of any kind
as soon as possible after receiving the system.
Also verify that the delivery includes all components listed on the delivery note.
▸Report any incomplete or damaged deliveries to Customer Service.
▸Always document the damage by taking photographs.
3.2.1 Components of the TIC102 system function
The TIC102 system function is designed for use in multi-lane, free-flowing traffic and stop-
and-go traffic for toll systems and for performing traffic management. It classifies vehicles
from different category systems and also detects vehicles when they switch lanes.
The TIC102 monitors exactly one lane. Up to four TIC102 units can run on the Traffic
Controller. Up to four lanes can be detected in this way.
System components
The TIC102 system function consists of the LMS Width and LMS Length system
components. These system components use LMS111 type 2D LiDAR sensors. They are
permanently installed in a housing and aligned to each other at a 25° angle.
Fig. 4: System components – TIC102
The LMS Width aligned with the side of the lane records the vehicle's profile in individual
2D profile sections. The LMS Width also detects vehicles when they change lanes.
The LMS Length (which is aligned along the lane) is responsible for vehicle tracking,
measures changes in vehicle speed, and provides the time axis to which the individual
2D cross-sections are assigned.

Master and slave
The TIC102 system function is available in the master and slave versions.
The housing of a TIC102 Master also contains the two LMS111 2D LiDAR sensors in
addition to the Traffic Controller. Only the two 2D LiDAR sensors are installed in a
TIC102 Slave. A TIC102 slave can only be operated together with a TIC102 Master or via
an external Traffic Controller as an OEM variant (see chapter 3.2.5 Traffic Controller FPS
as OEM variant). For more information on OEM variants, please contact your local SICK
agency.
Both housing variants contain an overcurrent protective device as well as a network
switch.
