Swiss-headquartered 657 Kistler is using ITS World Congress to present the company’s proven weigh-in-motion Lineas sensors, available in three sensor lengths: 15m, 1.75m and 2m, and two connecting cable length options – 40m and 100m.

In 2016, the Hungarian government adopted Kistler’s system, buying 1518 sensors to detect and identify overloaded vehicles in real time, says Joe Ong, general manager of Kistler Southeast Asia.

“We are able to provide proven WIM technology based on OIML R-134 certified system, as well as locally available technical support,” says Ong.


Supported by OIML certification, Kistler’s WIM systems are based on maintenance-free Lineas quartz WIM sensors and the Kistler WIM Data Logger.

Ong says the trend in the South East Asia’s largest ports is to upgrade entry and exit point weight check gates using targeted highly accurate no-stop WIM systems.

Raising allowable truck weight limits improve transport efficiency but leaves an ever-increasing number of bridges vulnerable to being overloaded and damaged by vehicles heavier, and in some cases far heavier, than they were designed to carry. The simplistic solution is to impose weight restrictions and erect appropriate signs - but this could have severe knock-on effect on trucking operations
