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. 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

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.

    Researchers Yuting Yang, Camillo Taylor and Daniel Lee have developed a system to turn surveillance cameras into traffic counters. Traffic information can be collected from existing inexpensive roadside cameras but extracting it often entails manual work or costly commercial software. Against this background the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) was looking for an efficient and user-friendly solution to extract traffic information from videos captured from road intersections.

    September 4, 2020
    IRD’s Tire Anomaly and Classification System (TACS) is an innovative technology that identifies potentially dangerous tyre anomalies before accidents occur. Tyre anomalies are conditions such as underinflated, flat, missing or mismatched tyres. These tyre problems can result in vehicle imbalance, reduced maneuverability, improper load distribution, reduced braking performance, poor fuel economy, and reduced tyre life. Pavement damage can also result from increased loads on tyres when adjacent tyres are flat or mismatched in size.
