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.
