The Swiss institute’s supervised certification process required more than 500 test runs with different vehicles, speeds and loads.


The WIM-DSP 32 is designed to operate with 657 Kistler’s line sensors and charge amplifiers, and features long-term sensor monitoring, an integrated colour graphics display and touch keys for easy configuration and function control. Potential uses range from data gathering to enforcement and tolling applications, including monitoring of track changes.

    Caldecott Tunnel’s new Fourth Bore is utilising a bespoke high-capacity monitoring and communications network from Moxa. The Caldecott Tunnel connects Contra Costa and Alameda counties in Northern California and traditionally it has suffered severe congestion - especially during peak hours. Opened in 1937 as a twin-bore arrangement, by 1964 the increase in traffic volumes led to a third bore being added. Shortly after the third bore was opened a tidal flow was introduced with the centre bore alternating in
