Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009040217A1] The invention relates to a method and a device for controlling traffic flows having vehicles (G, G') transporting hazardous goods, the vehicles moving through a security-critical traffic area of a road network, in particular through a road tunnel (T), it being established of a vehicle (G) approaching the traffic area whether it is a vehicle (G) transporting hazardous goods, and a traffic signal being output to the vehicle (G) approaching the traffic area. In that a digital image is recorded of a vehicle (G) approaching the traffic area, and in that the recorded image is digitally analyzed to recognize a feature which identifies a vehicle (G) transporting hazardous goods, vehicles (G) transporting hazardous goods may be recognized and controlled simply, reliably, and largely independently of vehicle equipment.
