38 International Electronic Machines Corporation SYSTEM DESCRIPTION GENERAL DESCRIPTION This photo shows the typical configuration of the SIRIS The Smart InfraRed system. The components, which are detailed below, are: 1. Inspection System (SIRIS) Main unit, 2. Ultrasonic Detector, 3. Infrared Camera (a is a tool designed to assist second infrared camera is located on the other side of the inspectors in determining vehicle and is not shown), 4. Optical Trigger (the other half which vehicles passing of the optical trigger system is located on the other side of through the system are in the vehicle and is not shown), and 5. Vehicle Camera. Not need of further inspection by measuring the thermal data from the wheel components. SIRIS is setup as a permanent installation in a configuration similar to the photo above though your system could vary. IEM engineers will work with inspection personnel to find the best placement for the system. This system is an advisory system and does not replace the inspection process. COMPONENT DESCRIPTION Main Unit Ultrasonic Detector The Main Unit is a rugged case that holds the operating computer for the system components. This computer is linked to User Interface computer housed in the scale house or other protected structure. The User Interface computer collects data, issues alerts and displays the User Interface. The ultrasonic detector is triggered when a vehicle enters the system. This activates the system to capture thermal data.
InfraRed Camera Optical Trigger Vehicle Camera User Interface Computer InfraRed imaging is used to determine the heat or lack of heat of each of three regions of interest. Regions of interest are explained later in this section. Two infrared cameras are located on opposite sides of the vehicle so that both sides of each axle are measured (this is not pictured in the system photo on page 1). The optical trigger activates the infrared camera when the tires are within the photographic frame. This allows the system to capture the wheel in such a way that it is centered in the frame and easily identified by the system. The optical trigger consists of two pieces which face each other across the lane. An invisible beam of light is sent from one to the other. When the beam is broken, the system is triggered. This camera takes a photo of the vehicle as it enters the system. This photo identifies the vehicle as it moves through the inspection site. This picture is shown on the user interface when this file is viewed. The User Interface computer is housed within the inspection facility and displays the data gathered from the passing vehicles. The User Interface is described in detail below. 39
