The intelligent vehicle separation system
The Optical Curtain Divider 1.0 is an infrared optical system designed to accurately separate vehicles passing through controlled gates or regulated access areas. It is the ideal solution for applications in highways, parking lots, interports and urban areas where vehicle flow needs to be monitored without classifying it by vehicle type.
The system consists of two autonomous units – transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) – which do not require any physical connection between them, so there is no need for invasive civil works such as excavations or cable laying.
With a detection height of up to 1.40 m and an operating distance of up to 7.5 m between the units, Divider 1.0 is also able to recognize the coupling between the tractor and trailer in a heavy vehicle, allowing it to manage individual vehicles effectively and accurately.

Applications
Divider 1.0 is designed for any situation in which passing vehicles need to be monitored and separated correctly, without the need for classification. It can be installed on highway lanes, public and private parking lots, limited traffic urban centers or interports, where it can offer a reliable, non-invasive access control solution.
Its ability to identify the beginning and end of each vehicle makes Divider 1.0 a valid alternative to traditional photocells that adapts perfectly, even in complex or challenging environments. Moreover, it is the ideal tool for coordinating barrier separation systems or supporting installation of post-classification modules.
