Belgium to introduce WIM system

In a bid to prevent the overloading of trucks, the Walloon Region of Belgium is to introduce a dynamic weigh in motion (WIM) system. Sensors installed in the road surface upstream of the fixed weighing stations will detect the vehicle’s weight, while automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras will identify the its registration. Trucks identified as being overweight are then intercepted and directed to the static weighing system. WIM is already in use in the Flanders Region of Belgium. A total of fif

In a bid to prevent the overloading of trucks, the Walloon Region of Belgium is to introduce a dynamic weigh in motion (WIM) system.

Sensors installed in the road surface upstream of the fixed weighing stations will detect the vehicle’s weight, while automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras will identify the its registration.  Trucks identified as being overweight are then intercepted and directed to the static weighing system.  

WIM is already in use in the Flanders Region of Belgium. A total of fifteen WIM systems will be installed in the Walloon Region and around US$7.79 million will be spent on the project, which is expected to come into full effect in 2014.
