Weight Flasher for Dynaweigh Austria WiM

Scales installed at traffic control station on Austrian A5 northern highway
December 2, 2022 Read time: 1 min
New components with a high-speed WiM system – for normal traffic speeds (including classification) – have been added

Dynaweigh has developed automatic road truck scales HHB01 and HHB02 for the dynamic detection of overloaded vehicles with a legal verifiable accuracy of +/- 1% (class 2D), meeting the requirements of the OIML R134 regulations.

Total weight and axle loads are recorded automatically during the crossing at speeds up to 35 km/h.

Several years ago, the scales were installed at the traffic control station on the Austrian A5 northern highway and are used for monitoring traffic safety and to detect overloaded vehicles by the Austrian enforcement executive.

New components with a high-speed WiM system – for normal traffic speeds (including classification) – have been recently added.

Like a radar system the collected data (total mass, axle load, vehicle type and licence plate number) can be forwarded with a photo of the vehicle automatically in real time by means of the Weight Flasher into data processing systems or to the control authority.

Advantages include high accuracy, increase of test frequency, it is fully automatic 24 hours a day and can be used during all seasons. It also allows photo documentation of the vehicle and transfer of the approved weighing results into data processing systems.

    WIM system certification is a complex business
    There are interesting moves afoot to create Germany’s first Weigh-In-Motion enforcement site in Hamburg – but Florian Weiss of Traffic Data Systems warns that WIM certification is a complex business. In the past, Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) was mainly used for statistical (WIM-S) and pre-selection (WIM-P) applications. These abbreviations - as well as WIM-E (enforcement) and WIM-T (tolling) - were created by Traffic Data Systems during Intertraffic 2006 in Amsterdam. This was also the year when we started the

    High-speed WIM moves onto the main highway
    High-speed weigh-in-motion is starting to make its mark on both sides of the Atlantic. As a transit country the Czech Republic experiences a large number of overloaded vehicles, which greatly increase highway maintenance costs. This prompted its Transport Ministry to trial an extension of the capabilities of the existing truck tolling system to allow the dynamic high-speed weighing of cargo vehicles. In effect the tolling enforcement gantries become weigh-in-motion (WIM) locations.

The more frequently such vehicles use a highway, the faster it is destroyed. Mobile patrol teams using mobile weighing scales are a highly effective way to enforce weight limits aimed at protecting ro
