69 International Road Dynamics (IRD) announced today that it has received a US$1.6 million contract to provide a weigh-in-Motion (WIM) sorter system for a new commercial vehicle enforcement facility (CVEF) near Mountain Pass, California. This system will be used by enforcement personnel to select and direct commercial vehicles into the CVEF.

IRD will supply an integrated system including its industry-leading single load cell (SLC) WIM scales and advanced iSINC controller electronics. A total of sixteen SLC scales will be installed in a double-threshold configuration which includes two full lane-width WIM scales at the advance, sorter and slow-speed ramp locations to achieve the highest level of WIM accuracy possible.

The system includes an image-capture camera system and operator interface to assist enforcement personnel to identify and track vehicles as they travel through the CVEF. IRD will also supply a static scale system to weigh trucks that are signalled to report to the weigh station for further inspection.

Terry Bergan, IRD’s president and CEO commented, “We continue to diversify our revenues streams by utilising our industry-leading proprietary systems and technologies in innovative new customer solutions. We are also pleased to be increasing our installed base in California and enhancing our long-term relationship with 3879 Caltrans.”
