"Virtual Treadle" features
a driver-friendly open wash bay without guide rails or drive-on treadle that is as easy to drive into as a standard parking
stall. It safely accepts vehicles with any wheel configuration including low-profile sport wheels, "dually" pick-up trucks,
and oversized SUV tires. And on those busy days, this easy-in driving means faster throughput and no more winter-related operational
problems of ice jamming the treadle peddle.
The "Virtual Treadle" process begins as the wash customer enters the
bay. Ultrasonic sensors measure the vehicle's width and create an electronic safety envelope that protects the vehicle, while
maintaining the optimum cleaning distance. Next, powerful infrared sensors monitor the vehicle's position and signal the driver
to stop in position or back up (if necessary). The LaserWash is then activated for washing.
