WIM Platform Gauges

Low Profile Platform Scales | In-Ground Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) Vehicle Scales

This product family represents the most modern technology for measuring vehicle weights, with special consideration for low profile platform scales and In-Ground Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) systems. These systems are ideal for demanding applications such as implementing ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems), weight enforcement, and efficient data collection in high-traffic areas.

The solutions offered by Intercomp combine precision, durability, and rapid deployment, ensuring reliable measurement in the most diverse environments.

Product Family Overview and Key Features

The offer focuses on two main categories: low profile, permanently installed platform scales, and systems optimized for in-motion weighing (WIM), which can be built into the road surface.

1. In-Ground Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) Systems

These systems allow for the measurement of vehicle weights (axle weight and gross weight) without requiring them to slow down or stop, significantly increasing traffic throughput capacity.

Main Application Areas:

• ITS/Roadside Enforcement: Identification of overweight vehicles.
• Data logging: Monitoring of traffic patterns and weight distributions.
• Ports and Terminals: Efficient management of container and freight traffic.
• Customs and Tolling: Support for electronic tolling systems.

2. Low Profile Commercial Vehicle Scales

These scales are ideal for locations where installation depth is limited, or where quick installation with minimal construction work is required. The „Low-Profile” design reduces the approach angle, thus increasing safety and convenience.

Main Low-Profile Models:

• LP600™ Low-Profile Scale: Basic, reliable low-profile scale solution.
• LP600-15T™ Low-Profile Scale: Increased capacity version suitable for weighing heavier loads.
• LP788™ Portable Low-Profile Scale: Portable design combining low profile with flexible installation.

Detailed Technical Specifications and Benefits

Accuracy, robustness, and ease of use were the most important considerations when designing Intercomp systems.

Benefits of Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) Systems

WIM technology revolutionizes traffic control and enforcement:

1. High Flow Rate: Vehicles are not forced to stop, so traffic remains continuous, reducing congestion.
2. Accuracy: Advanced algorithms and high-quality sensors ensure highly accurate axle and gross weight measurement even at higher speeds.
3. Pre-Screening: It enables authorities to direct only suspicious or overweight vehicles for slowing down or static weighing.
4. Integrability: The systems can be easily integrated into existing traffic monitoring and data collection systems.

Low Profile Platform Scale Advantages

The low-profile design comes with several practical advantages:

• Egyszerű Telepítés: The shallower installation depth minimizes necessary groundwork and construction costs.
• Vehicle Compatibility: The smaller approach angle increases safety and reduces the load stress on the vehicle chassis during approach.
• Flexibility: Portable models can be quickly moved between different locations.

Technical Data Summary (General)

Although exact specifications are model-dependent, the table below shows the typical technical parameters offered by Intercomp products:

Accessory Systems and Ecosystem

Intercomp supplies not only weighing units but also offers complete solution packages, including displays, software, and accessories.

Indicators, Displays, and Software

Dedicated displays and software are essential for processing and displaying the measurements:

• Displays: Various levels of displays are available, from portable handheld units (e.g.: RFX® Wireless Handheld Indicator) to advanced touchscreen CPUs (e.g.: TAC30™ CPU). These ensure real-time data display and recording of measurements.
• Software: Specialized software, such as ACWeigh™ and the iACWeigh™ (although these are primarily related to aerospace scales, the principles can be similar for vehicle software), assist with weight and balance calculations, as well as data management.

Wide Spectrum of Application Areas

The versatility of the application areas demonstrates the flexibility of platforms and WIM systems:

• Commercial Fleets: Optimization of daily logistics operations.
• Temporary Work Sites: Building rapidly deployable, mobile solutions for construction sites or events.
• EV Weighing: Systems designed specifically to handle the different weight distributions of electric vehicles.
• Autonomous Trucks: Support for future autonomous fleet management with weight data.
• SOLAS Container Weighing: Container weight verification compliant with maritime shipping safety regulations (SOLAS).

Calibration and Maintenance

To maintain measurement accuracy, the system supports professional calibration and testing procedures. The Force Testing Stands ensure that systems comply with strict industry and regulatory standards.

Summary

Intercomp low profile platform and in-ground WIM scales offer the highest level of accuracy and efficiency in vehicle weight enforcement. Whether for high-volume highway enforcement, port logistics, or site weighing, these robust, professional systems provide reliable data and seamless operation. The low profile design is particularly advantageous where site constraints require minimal installation depth.
