LS20™ WIM Indicator for ITS/Enforcement Scales

LS20™ WIM Indicator – For ITS/Traffic Safety Applications

The LS20™ WIM (Weigh-In-Motion) Indicator is a key component of Intercomp's advanced weighing systems, specifically designed for traffic safety and enforcement applications. This high-precision display and data processing unit ensures reliable, fast measurement of vehicle axle and gross weights in motion, thereby minimizing traffic slowdowns and the need for interventions.

The LS20™ indicator is the ideal choice for strict environments where fast, accurate, and documented weight data collection is essential, such as highway monitoring, enforcing weight limit compliance, or traffic data analysis.

Key Features and Advantages

The LS20™ WIM Indicator combines state-of-the-art technology with a robust, field-ready design to meet the highest professional requirements:

• High Precision Measurement: Designed to support the most stringent WIM measurements, ensuring reliable determination of axle loads and gross mass, even at higher speeds.
• Integrated Data Management: The unit is capable of receiving and processing data from connected load cells (e.g., strip sensors or platforms), ensuring real-time display and recording.
• Robust Design: Designed to withstand extreme weather conditions and rough handling, which is essential for permanent outdoor ITS installations.
• User-Friendly Interface: Intuitive user interface that facilitates quick setup and reading of measurements for on-site personnel.
• Compatibility: Broad compatibility with Intercomp weighing systems, including portable (LS788-WIM™, LS630-WIM™) and in-ground WIM solutions.
• Data Acquisition Capability: Ability to store and export measurement data for subsequent analysis, supporting regulatory documentation and traffic modeling.

Detailed Application Areas

The versatility of the LS20™ WIM Indicator enables its wide application in vehicle weight enforcement:

Road Enforcement and Traffic Control

The indicator plays a central role in traffic management systems. It is capable of automatically identifying overweight vehicles and sending an alert to the authorities, or automatically activating warning lights.

• Portable Enforcement: Quickly deployable on busy road sections, enabling authorities to react flexibly to traffic demands.
• Embedded Systems: Integrable into permanently installed WIM systems, where it continuously monitors traffic, reducing infrastructure wear and increasing traffic safety.

Entry Gates and Inspection Points

In logistics hubs, the LS20™ ensures that the weight of containers and trucks complies with international and local regulations (e.g., SOLAS container weighing). Fast measurement minimizes waiting time in loading and unloading zones.

Toll Collection

Although primarily an enforcement tool, the LS20™ WIM capabilities can support electronic toll collection systems by verifying the vehicle category and load, ensuring accurate tariff setting.

System Integration and Expandability

The LS20™ is not just a display; it is an intelligent data processing center. It is designed to connect seamlessly with other Intercomp measuring instruments and software:

1. Multiple Weighing Platform Support: Capable of handling both axle scale systems for axle load measurement and full vehicle weighbridge platforms.
2. Data Logging Applications: Compatible with ITS/Law Enforcement Scale Applications software, which allows for systematic recording of measurements, including date, time, speed, and measured weights.
3. Calibration Tools: Supports Intercomp Force Measurement Test Stands systems, ensuring that the indicator and its connected load cells always meet the highest calibration standards.

The LS20™ WIM Indicator is a guarantee of reliability, accuracy, and efficiency in any traffic safety and logistics environment where vehicle weight enforcement is critical.
