69 International Road Dynamics’ (IRD) SAW Series III portable wheel load scale is now available in a configuration that enables weigh-in-motion screening for overweight vehicles, using the system’s software to pre-select overloaded trucks.

Two SAW scales are paired and connected with a PC via Bluetooth. The vehicle drives over the scales at slow speed and the weighing result (wheel/axle weights and gross vehicle weight) is displayed on the screen. For weight enforcement with the highest accuracy the system can be switched to static operation mode.

The low-profile, rugged system is lightweight and corrosion-resistant and designed to meet OIML R134. It is suitable for dynamic measurement for overload indication and dual-scale system configuration with computer-based processing for reporting, protocol printing and data archiving.

    The cost, environmental and other benefits of the bus trailer concept are obvious. Used in several areas of Germany, as well as Austria, Switzerland, and Luxembourg, vehicle sizes can be adapted to passenger demand. The Ruebenacker group, a public transport provider in the Black Forest region of Germany, is one of more than 20 bus operators in the country that have deployed bus trailers, also referred to as bus trains. The company owns 81 buses and transports nearly six million passengers a year in the Blac

  • Polarisation is glaringly obvious, says Sony
    December 3, 2018
    Glare from the sun is a factor in a large number of road accidents – many of them fatal. But there is a solution at hand: using polarisation can mitigate the effect of glare and improve ITS camera enforcement, explains Stephane Clauss The effect of glare on driver safety has been well documented. A 2013 UK study by the country’s largest driver organisation, the AA, calculated sun glare was a contributing cause in almost 3,000 road accidents in 2012 alone. This represented one in 33 accidents on Britain’s
