High-speed enforcement

German company Traffic Data Systems says its OIML-R134-1 certified low- and high-speed weigh-in-motion system uses three rows of OIML-certified Lineas sensors and is a legally accepted WIM product for enforcement (WIM-E) and tolling applications (WIM-T) to be used on all kinds of roads. For heavy goods vehicles the system can cope with speeds between five to 120km/h while for light goods vehicles the upper limit is 140km/h.

German company 4592 Traffic Data Systems says its OIML-R134-1 certified low- and high-speed weigh-in-motion system uses three rows of OIML-certified Lineas sensors and is a legally accepted WIM product for enforcement (WIM-E) and tolling applications (WIM-T) to be used on all kinds of roads. For heavy goods vehicles the system can cope with speeds between five to 120km/h while for light goods vehicles the upper limit is 140km/h.


Certification has been carried out by the Federal Institute of Metrology METAS (Switzerland) which recorded accuracies of ±5% (initial verification) and ±10% (in-service inspection) in accordance with OIML R134 have been achieved. METAS supervised the certification process requiring more than 500 test runs with different vehicles, speeds and loads. According to Traffic Data Systems, while the results appear to be less accurate than other systems on the market, those results did not follow OIML R134 or cover speeds up to 140 km/h.

  • Smoothing out city freight movements
    May 28, 2014
    David Crawford welcomes a national first. Urban freight movements, while commercially and socially vital, are a growing logistical headache for planners and people alike. Figures from France’s Lyon Laboratory of Transport Economics indicate that goods transport in major urban areas accounts for: 20% of traffic; 35% of CO2 emissions made by all urban trips; and 50% of the diesel used; while final km delivery runs account for 20% of the total cost of the transport chain.

  • Wireless bridges widen options for ITS upgrades
    December 9, 2014
    Antaira Technologies’ marketing engineer Brian Roth explains why the increasing capacity of wireless bridges is reducing the cost of expanding and upgrading ITS networks. With more than half of the world’s population now living in cities, the need for efficient transportation of both people and goods has never been greater and that pressure is unlikely to ease any time soon. Indeed in many regions of the world the rate of urbanisation is still increasing as the demand for rural workers continues to decline.

    ITS technology can do a great deal to improve tunnel safety, as Colin Sowman discovers. It was back in April 2004 that the European Parliament adopted the EU Directive which lays down the Minimum Safety Requirements for Tunnels in the Trans-European Road Network (2004/54/EC). This was the first unitary legislation setting minimum safety standards for European road tunnels and was designed to harmonise the management of tunnel safety at a national level. Operators of existing tunnels have until 30 April 201

    IRD, which is celebrating 35 years in business this year, is here at the ITS America Annual Meeting to introduce VI2M (Vehicle Information in Motion) enforcement systems for data collection and commercial vehicle operations. VI2M enforcement systems use the VectorSense tyre sensor suite in ramp and mainline weigh station bypass solutions as well as for advanced data collection applications. The tyre sensor suite is a new in-road sensor technology that provides vehicle position and individual tyre footprint
