69 International Road Dynamics is demonstrating its new SAW III portable axle scale and VectorSense sensor technology here at Intertraffic Amsterdam.

The SAW III scale is certified for enforcement weighing of transport trucks and can also be used for screening vehicles at slow speed using weigh-in-motion (WIM).

The VectorSense tyre sensor suite is an in-road sensor technology that provides vehicle position and individual tyre footprint data for use in traffic data collection programs, commercial vehicle operations (CVO), and toll road operations.

"We are very excited to be demonstrating our newest scale and sensor technology to an international audience here at Intertraffic,” says Rish Malhotra, IRD Vice President, International Business. "IRD is exhibiting at Stand 11.310 with our long-time European technology and distribution partner, CAT Traffic. We are showing off our latest products and also discussing our integrated solutions such as traffic management systems, weigh station systems, traffic data collection, tolling, and border security, with our international clientele.”

    Colin Sowman talks to Terry Bergan of International Road Dynamics about the latest uses of weigh-in-motion systems. Raising allowable truck weight limits improve transport efficiency but leaves an ever-increasing number of bridges vulnerable to being overloaded and damaged by vehicles heavier, and in some cases far heavier, than they were designed to carry. The simplistic solution is to impose weight restrictions and erect appropriate signs - but this could have severe knock-on effect on trucking operations
