This product description presents the high-accuracy Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) weighing systems from Intercomp, specifically developed for highway tolling (ETC) and traffic monitoring applications. These systems are critical for the precise, fast, and non-invasive measurement of axle loads and gross weights, ensuring the protection of the road network and compliance with regulations.
Intercomp WIM scales represent the latest technology in the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and highway enforcement sectors. They are particularly suitable for high-traffic environments such as highways, where vehicles must be checked without significantly slowing down or stopping traffic.
Main Application Areas:
Intercomp offers a wide range of solutions that can be categorized by installation method (in-ground or portable) and measurement principle (axle weight, gross weight).
These systems are durable, permanently installed solutions that offer maximum accuracy and reliability for continuous operation.
The LS-WIM® is a high-accuracy, in-ground axle weighing system designed for uninterrupted traffic flow.
In-ground platform solutions for measuring total vehicle weight, ideal for gross weight enforcement.
Flexible, low-profile sensors that can be embedded into the road surface, excellently suited for speed-dependent weight estimation.
Portable WIM systems offer flexibility, enabling weight measurement at temporary sites or for rapid site changes.
This model combines portability with WIM capability, allowing for fast on-site deployment.
Optimized for measuring very low speed traffic, excellently suited for checkpoints where vehicles pass through slowly.
Although not WIM systems, these static scales complement the surveillance portfolio by providing accurate, certified weight data when vehicles are stopped.
An easily installable, low-profile scale ideal for static measurement of axle loads.
Robust, full-value axle weighing systems that can be quickly set up at temporary inspection points.
A portable solution specifically designed for measuring the weight of dual wheel pairs.
Durability, accuracy, and user-friendly operation are central to the design of Intercomp scales. The systems are generally compatible with various signal converters and displays, enabling real-time data processing.
