The name says it all: ProContour H3-D
3-D measurement of tyre condition – for greater tyre safety in road traffic.
Even in times of chip tuning and electronic brake management, technological progress in tyre monitoring seems to have completely bypassed the vehicle or, in other words, it has not progressed beyond calliper gauges and stationary, optical measuring procedures on tyre test rigs.
ProContour H3-D now offers public authorities, industry, car dealerships a multi-functional and automated measuring system with various system types that measures tyre tread depth, tyre type and, in future, also wear patterns in flowing traffic.
The monitoring and traffic safety system designed for flexible use is based on the principle of laser triangulation. High-speed cameras use tread sensors embedded in the road to record and measure 3-D tyre tread depths in a matter of milliseconds.
To be able to measure tyres at high speeds (up to 120 km/h), the system can also process large data volumes: up to 35,000 images per second or six terabytes per minute...

Schematic passover situation of a 5 axle articulated lorry on company premises: the ProContour H3-D facto even measures of the tyre conditions of several heavy goods vehicles passing over one after the other.
The measurement data is transferred via a data link to the PC station located in an office building on the same premises.
The system is operated intuitively through a graphic user interface. During the measurement process, the data of all acquired tyres is visualised through the user interface. As soon as a minimum tyre tread depth set up in the system is not reached, the measurement image is saved in a history which can be viewed/printed out at any time.
