Weigh in Motion System

A Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) System is a specialized technology designed to measure the weight of vehicles while they are in motion. Unlike traditional static weighing methods, WIM systems allow for the continuous monitoring of vehicle weights without the need for them to stop. Typically installed on roadways or at checkpoints, WIM systems use sensors or load cells embedded in the road surface to collect data on the weight and axle loads of passing vehicles. This technology is crucial for monitoring and enforcing weight restrictions, ensuring road safety, and preventing damage to infrastructure caused by overloaded vehicles. Weigh-in-Motion systems contribute to efficient traffic flow, as they provide real-time data that can be used for immediate decision-making, such as directing overweight vehicles to inspection points. They play a key role in transportation management, logistics, and enforcement of weight regulations on road networks.
