Weigh-In-Motion Scales for Tolling (ETC)

High-accuracy WIM weighing systems for truck traffic monitoring and toll enforcement (ETC) in industrial environments.

Description

Additional information

TOLL (WIM) SCALES FOR TRUCK TRAFFIC MONITORING

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.

Overview and Application Areas

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:

  • Toll Collection (ETC – Electronic Toll Collection): Automatic checking of vehicle weights at toll plazas to detect unauthorized loads or incorrect categorization.
  • Highway Enforcement: Identification of overweight vehicles to ensure compliance with legislation.
  • Data logging: Traffic counting, collection of axle load data for road network design and maintenance.
  • Ports and Gates: Quick checking of the weight of entering and exiting vehicles.

Product Families and Technological Solutions

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).

1. In-Ground WIM Systems

These systems are durable, permanently installed solutions that offer maximum accuracy and reliability for continuous operation.

LS-WIM® Axle Weighing System (In-Ground)

The LS-WIM® is a high-accuracy, in-ground axle weighing system designed for uninterrupted traffic flow.

WIM Platform Scales

In-ground platform solutions for measuring total vehicle weight, ideal for gross weight enforcement.

WIM Strip Sensors (Weigh-In-Motion Strip Sensors)

Flexible, low-profile sensors that can be embedded into the road surface, excellently suited for speed-dependent weight estimation.

2. Portable WIM Systems

Portable WIM systems offer flexibility, enabling weight measurement at temporary sites or for rapid site changes.

LS788-WIM™ Portable WIM Scale

This model combines portability with WIM capability, allowing for fast on-site deployment.

LS630-WIM™ Portable Low-Speed WIM Scale

Optimized for measuring very low speed traffic, excellently suited for checkpoints where vehicles pass through slowly.

3. Portable Static Scales

Although not WIM systems, these static scales complement the surveillance portfolio by providing accurate, certified weight data when vehicles are stopped.

LP788™ Low-Profile Wheel Load Scales

An easily installable, low-profile scale ideal for static measurement of axle loads.

AX900™ Axle Scale Systems

Robust, full-value axle weighing systems that can be quickly set up at temporary inspection points.

LTR788™ Dual Wheel Load Scales

A portable solution specifically designed for measuring the weight of dual wheel pairs.

Technical Specifications and Advantages

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.

Characteristic Description / Advantage
Measurement Accuracy Extremely high accuracy that complies with strict ITS and toll standards.
Speed Range Capable of weighing across a wide speed range, from low-speed (WIM) applications up to normal traffic speeds.
Installation Selectable options include built-in (permanent) or portable (quick setup) solutions.
Design Robust, weather-resistant construction that withstands heavy traffic and extreme environmental conditions.
Data Management Compatible with advanced displays, software, and applications for data logging and transmission.
Adaptability Optimized configurations for different vehicle types (trucks, buses, special vehicles).
Displays, Software, and Applications

Intercomp offers a number of advanced tools for processing and displaying measurements:

  • Indicators, Displays, and Software: Dedicated CPUs and handheld displays for real-time display and recording of measurements.
  • TAC30™ CPU: A touch-screen display unit that functions as a central controller.
  • RFX® Wireless Handheld Indicator: Allows operators to read measurements remotely and wirelessly, increasing safety.
  • ACWeigh™ Software: Specialized software solutions for data processing and archiving.
Auxiliary ITS/Compliance Applications

WIM systems integrate seamlessly into the broader ITS and enforcement infrastructure:

  • Data Collection: Creation of detailed traffic profiles.
  • Enforcement In-Ground: Continuous monitoring at fixed points.
  • Enforcement Portable: Flexible enforcement capabilities at remote sites.

These systems ensure the efficient operation of the toll collection infrastructure while guaranteeing strict adherence to traffic regulations regarding vehicle weights. Thanks to the modular design, the solutions can be easily integrated into existing ITS systems.
