657 Kistler Group (Kistler) will showcase its KiTraffic Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) solutions at this year’s 70 Intertraffic in Amsterdam from the 20-23 March 2018. The innovations are intended to support road owners and authorities in road and traffic monitoring, weight enforcement and weight-based tolling.

The KiTraffic Plus, a WIM solution for automated road monitoring, comes with Lineas quartz sensors and is said to measure vehicle loads at different speeds on a range of lanes. It uses two to eight sensors per lane and can be combined with camera systems for vehicle identification and other applications. The data is processed in a protected roadside cabinet with analyses available in real-time via web-based human machine interface or application programming interface transfers.

KiTraffic Statistics is designed with the intention of providing a cost-efficient WIM solution for clients who want an overview of road usage. The Lineas Compact quartz sensors are integrated 25mm below the surface of the road, and are covered with a grouting compound, which is said to ensure an extended sensor lifetime while providing accurate data for Traffic Data Collection.

In addition, Kistler are offering a road analysis to determine the best position of sensors and a calibration service from its engineers to help ensure accurate measurement throughout the WIM system’s lifecycle. It is available remotely via web or phone, as well as on-site.

    Radix Traffic will be featuring at Intertraffic Amsterdam its wired magnetometer sensors, over 500 of which have been installed in the UK to provide accurate vehicle detection. Unlike conventional inductive loops, the sensors can be installed around 50cm below the road surface where they are protected from damage caused by bad weather and heavy traffic. Radix claims that once a sensor is installed it will continue to detect during its 15-year design life with no maintenance required. Radix says installat

    District 7 of Caltrans has been conducting trials to see whether the use of a single inductive loop to measure vehicle lengths and so identify heavy trucks is feasible. So far, the results have been very promising, according to Lead Transportation Engineer Steve Malkson. Between them, the adjoining ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, the US's two biggest, cover some 10,700 acres (43km2) and 68 miles (109km) of waterfront.
