Versatile WIM and speed enforcement

Camea, headquartered in the Czech Republic, will use the 2015 ITS World Congress to highlight its weigh-in-motion (WIM) system that can be expanded with a certified speed measurement function, which many municipalities welcome. The company says the system can address two road safety issues – weight and speed enforcement.

6761 Camea, headquartered in the Czech Republic, will use the 2015 ITS World Congress to highlight its weigh-in-motion (WIM) system that can be expanded with a certified speed measurement function, which many municipalities welcome. The company says the system can address two road safety issues – weight and speed enforcement.

The bi-directional traffic mode of the system prevents vehicles from avoiding the weigh station also works well in a situation where the road is closed or vehicles are queueing in one lane.

An advanced traffic classifier, also developed by Camea, with wide-ranging traffic monitoring applications, such as vehicle counting, precise classification, gap and headway measurement, and axle counting can also be optionally added to WIM system.

    The technical programme of this year’s ITS World Congress in Vienna includes a special session on the image of enforcement. ITS International examines the scale of the problem and what can be done about it. Debate on the merits and difficulties of enforcing speed limits appears centred on a conflict of principles. Put very simply, local communities, people living close to busy or hazardous roads, want to see traffic speeds calmed. Drivers on those roads, on the whole, want their principle of freedom to be m
