Truck scale Weigh-in-motion or weighing in motion (WIM) devices are designed to capture and record axle weights and gross vehicle weights as vehicles drive over a measurement site.
Unlike static scales, WIM systems are capable of measuring vehicles traveling at a reduced or normal traffic speed and do not require the vehicle to come to a stop. This makes the truck weighing process more efficient, and, in the case of commercial vehicles, allows for trucks under the weight limit to bypass static scales or inspection.
Especially for trucks gross vehicle and axle weight - monitoring is useful in an array of applications including:
- Pavement design, monitoring, and research
- Bridge design, monitoring, and research
- Size and weight enforcement
- Legislation and regulation
- Administration and planning
