If you want to check out the VectorSense (V12M) sensor suite that presents opportunities for new ITS applications and won’t be commercially available until next spring, then head over to 69 International Road Dynamics' (IRD) stand here at the ITS World Congress.

IRD says VectorSense (V12M) will provide new, not previously available vehicle and traffic data including lane position information, single/dual and super single tyre measurement and identification of low pressure tyres, all at highway speed, for use in commercial vehicle operations (CVO), toll road operations, and vehicle safety and traffic data collection applications.

The tyre position and footprint data provided by the VectorSense sensor suite opens up new possibilities for traffic data collection, commercial vehicle safety, and toll road operations. Demonstrations of this new product with interested organisations are underway, with commercial availability in spring 2016.

Rish Malhotra, IRD VP of International Business, says there is an increasing demand for automated, continuous, real-time provision of vehicle and traffic data. The company’s weigh-in-motion (WIM) systems with integrated machine vision have positioned the company well to meet this demand.

IRD is also presenting an array of advanced traffic management and ITS solutions for infrastructure management including toll systems (WIM@Toll), commercial vehicle enforcement, infrastructure asset management, traffic intelligence, enterprise solutions and access control systems. IRD supplies ITS systems incorporating WIM sensors such as IRD-PAT Bending Plate, Single Load Cell (SLC) scales, and quartz and piezo sensors.

    Weigh in motion reduces road wear, increases toll revenue
    IRD, Inc's Terry Bergan discusses future applications of weigh in motion technology. The application in recent years of Weigh In Motion (WIM) at tollgates has been driven by recognition of the fact that there is economic value, which can be levied, attached to Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) which haul laden (and are therefore heavy) rather than empty. As wear and damage to road surfaces increases exponentially with weight, the targeting of HGVs in particular makes sense from both the economic and maintenance p
