Truck Volume Measurement Dynamic & Static LiDAR Metering | Non-Stop ・ ±2% Accuracy

Customer Pain Points

Still Converting Weight to Volume?

Truck load volume — from weighbridge & manual estimation to one LiDAR scan

Safety Risk

overload or off-center loads are only caught late, after leaving the site

Accuracy

Weighbridges weigh only — no volume; in split entry/exit layouts, empty and loaded data for the same truck can't be matched

Efficiency

visual checks or spot sampling are slow and unreliable

Financial Impact

results are typed by hand and never reach the management system, complicating month-end reconciliation

With Neuvition
  • Dynamic in-motion scanning without stopping (<5 km/h) or static scanning with high accuracy (~10 s per scan)
  • Automatic truck-bed dimension recognition
  • Multi-lane entry/exit measurement with automatic matching of empty and loaded states
  • Automatic vehicle identification (RFID/ANPR)
  • Automatic recognition of internal stiffener ribs to avoid volume errors
  • Integration with PLC control systems and higher-level management platforms.
Scenarios

Four Scenarios Across the Whole Truck Metering Flow

Dynamic, static, truck position, pallet & parcel — click a card for details

Dynamic Truck Volume Measurement Solution

Two single-line LiDARs are mounted vertically above the measurement lane: LiDAR1 scans the truck cross-section and LiDAR2 measures passing speed; both streams fuse into a 3D point cloud. Neuvition's proprietary 3D reconstruction algorithm automatically compares empty vs loaded point clouds to compute load volume. With RFID/ANPR vehicle identification, the plate, volume, records and statistics are handled automatically and can connect directly to PLC and upper management platforms.

View Scenario

Static Truck Volume Measurement Solution

A 3D laser scanner above the station rotates across the truck from side to side, capturing 3D point clouds of the load surface. Neuvition's proprietary 3D reconstruction algorithm automatically compares empty vs loaded point clouds to compute load volume. With RFID vehicle identification, the plate, volume, records and statistics are handled automatically and can connect directly to PLC and upper management platforms.

View Scenario

Truck Position

3D LiDAR contactlessly measures the relative position, distance and angular offset between a vehicle/device and a target, feeding real-time corrections to the PLC/control system to support automated loading, unloading and positioning guidance.

View Scenario

Pallet & Parcel Dimensioning

For logistics and warehousing, rapidly and contactlessly measures 3D dimensions of pallets, parcels and cartons for storage volume statistics, freight billing, and sorting/loading optimization.

Core Technology

Four Core Technical Advantages

Built for high-frequency traffic — vehicles keep moving

In-Motion Scanning, No Stops

Vehicles pass through under 5 km/h — scanned without stopping, no queues.

Auto Vehicle ID & Empty/Loaded Linking

RFID / ANPR auto-links each vehicle’s empty and loaded scans across entry and exit.

3D Reconstruction with Rib Interference Removal

Empty-vs-loaded point cloud comparison computes volume; truck-bed ribs are auto-recognized to avoid misjudgment.

PLC & Management System Integration

Direct PLC communication and API integration with upper-level systems — data logged automatically.

FAQ

FAQ

Must the vehicle stop?
No for the dynamic solution — drive through steadily under 5 km/h; the static solution requires a stop of about 10 seconds per scan.
What accuracy is achieved?
±3% (12–25 m³), ±2% (>25 m³).
Can it integrate with PLC and management systems?
Direct PLC connectivity via communication protocols and API for higher-level systems.
Do dust and rain affect it?
Light rain or snow is fine; heavy dust or water vapor reduces accuracy.
How is the system installed?
Two LiDARs plus a power cabinet are installed above the lane and calibrated.
What is the accuracy?
±3% (12–25 m³), ±2% (>25 m³).
Is there an installation height limit?
≤7.5m recommended, up to 9m (adjusting height changes accuracy).
How long does a scan take?
About 10 seconds in standard mode, with results in ~30s; actual time depends on truck position and tilt.
