US-headquartered 1982 Intercomp Company, the world’s largest manufacturer of portable weighing and measurement products, is presenting its continued developments in Weigh-In-Motion sensors here at Intertraffic. As the company points out, with integration of in-ground sensors within WIM sites around the world, users are obtaining excellent performance at a compelling price point.

The WIM sensors collect wheel, axle, and gross vehicle weights (GVW) for multiple ITS applications. Intercomp says this is accomplished while delivering the accuracy, durability and performance required for applications such as data collection, screening for enforcement, and tolling or gate operations.

“The ITS industry has various accuracy requirements across different WIM applications,” says Clint Bower, director of Intercomp Europe. “With Intercomp’s strip sensors achieving the required performance at a lower expense, this delivers excellent value to the ITS community.”

The WIM Strip sensors are installed into 75mm channels cut into the roadway, enabling short installation time and low maintenance needs. With the inherent accuracy of strain gauge technology, the sensors are capable of meeting COST 323 or ASTM 1318 performance requirements.

    Martyn Harriss looks at what we can do to simplify the type approval of enforcement equipment in Europe. I doubt that there are many who can remember the days when policemen hid in the bushes with stopwatches and flags to catch speeding motorists - and I'd suggest that back then there were few who were caught who would have dared question the accuracy of those watches or those who operated them. Probably, fewer still here in Europe could have dreamt that a supranational body such as the European Union (EU)
