LS20™ WIM Scale Indicator

LS20™ WIM Indicator – Weigh-In-Motion Display

The LS20™ WIM Indicator is Intercomp's advanced solution for weighing vehicles in motion. This robust and reliable display unit plays a crucial role in traffic management, weigh-in-motion enforcement, and governmental applications where fast, accurate, and continuous weighing is required. The LS20™ is designed to integrate seamlessly with various Intercomp WIM measuring systems, ensuring real-time data processing and display.

This instrument is the ideal choice for environments where vehicle speed does not need to be drastically reduced for measurement, or where measurement takes place at low speeds but traditional static weighing is not feasible.

Key Features and Advantages

The LS20™ WIM Indicator combines a user-friendly interface with high-precision measurements provided by the connected sensors.

• Real-Time Weight Display: Provides instant feedback on axle and gross vehicle weights as the vehicle passes over the measuring surface.
• Robust Construction: Designed to withstand harsh industrial and outdoor conditions, ensuring long life and reliable operation.
• Integrated Data Management: Capable of receiving and processing signals from connected WIM sensors (e.g.: weigh-in-motion strips or built-in weighbridges).
• Könnyű Kezelhetőség: The intuitive user interface minimizes operator errors and speeds up the measurement process.
• Versatile Application: Ideally used in traffic management, government enforcement, and commercial applications (e.g.: loading/unloading points).

Technical Specifications

The LS20™ WIM Indicator enables the display of precise measurement data. Accurate technical parameters ensure system compatibility and performance.

Detailed Functions and Application Areas

The LS20™ is not just a display; it is an intelligent data processing hub that provides crucial information for weigh-in-motion processes.

1. Weight Data Display and Processing

The indicator can display measured axle loads and the resulting total vehicle weight. One of the biggest challenges in WIM systems is the effect of vehicle speed on measurement accuracy. The LS20™ is designed to work with speed sensors (or the sensors' built-in speed measurement capability) so that the software can correct for dynamic effects, thus ensuring certified or near-certified measurements.

• Axle Load: Instant display of the weight exerted on individual axles.
• Gross Vehicle Weight – GVW: Summation of the weight for the entire vehicle.
• Speed Display: If the system includes a speed measuring element, the passage speed can also be displayed to provide context.

2. Integration and System Compatibility

The LS20™ is part of Intercomp's extensive WIM portfolio, guaranteeing seamless integration with various weighing devices:

• LS-WIM® Axle Sensors: Ideal for embedded, permanently installed WIM systems where sensors are integrated into the road surface.
• WIM Axle Scales: Can be used for portable or temporary WIM installations where sensors are placed on the asphalt.
• LS630-WIM™ and LS788-WIM™: Compatible with portable, low-speed WIM systems ideal for temporary inspection points.

3. Application Areas

Due to the versatility of the LS20™ WIM Indicator, it can be used in several critical areas:

• Intelligent Transportation Systems: Continuous traffic monitoring, automatic identification and alarming of overweight vehicles.
• Authority Checks: Fast filtering in traffic, which reduces the time for traffic slowdowns while screening for violators.
• Freight Terminals and Ports: Rapid weight checking of containers and trucks to optimize logistics processes (including SOLAS container weighing requirements).
• Toll Collection: Determining vehicle weight for toll classification.
• Commercial Fleets: Accurate checking of loads to ensure compliance with maximum permissible gross weight.

Summary

The LS20™ WIM Indicator represents Intercomp's engineering precision in the field of dynamic weight measurement. It is a reliable, fast, and integratable solution that is essential for the efficient and safe operation of modern transportation infrastructure. For any application where vehicle weight needs to be checked while in motion, the LS20™ is the optimal choice for accurate and durable performance.
