Weigh in motion with high speed strip scales

Intercomp’s latest high-speed strip scales provide in-ground weigh-in-motion capabilities and are said to feature industry-leading strain gauge load cell technology for increased accuracy, repeatability and fast response times. The scales exceed ASTM E1318-09 Type I, Type II, Type III, and COST 323 B+(7) or B(10) requirements for high volume data collection and screening for direct enforcement.

Intercomp strip scale

1982 Intercomp’s latest high-speed strip scales provide in-ground weigh-in-motion capabilities and are said to feature industry-leading strain gauge load cell technology for increased accuracy, repeatability and fast response times. The scales exceed ASTM E1318-09 Type I, Type II, Type III, and COST 323 B+(7) or B(10) requirements for high volume data collection and screening for direct enforcement.

They can be installed in one day in grooves less than 75mm (3inch) wide; minimising lane closures. The system weighs vehicles dynamically in the mainline axle-by-axle as they pass over the scales at speeds up to 129km/h (80mph).

The system includes two strip scales units, but can be configured with four or six strips per lane for higher sampling rates. They can be integrated into a user’s existing system with analog output, or coupled with Intercomp’s WIMLOGIX module which provides signal conditioning, data acquisition and basic processing.

    For many, Ethernet- and IP-based networks are the cast-iron solution to ITS's communications needs. However, there remain issues from manufacturer to manufacturer with interpretation of what are supposed to be common standards The 'promise' of Ethernet was that different devices such as IP video cameras and traffic signals could be easily integrated into communications networks, simplifying the process of transporting data over copper, fibre or wirelessly. However, although Ethernet devices have come to pre
