Weigh-In-Motion (HSWIM)
Weigh-in-Motion stations record axle weights as vehicles drive over the stations at normal traffic speeds. The information gathered from these stations is used for pavement design, monitoring and research.
At Traffic and Load Control Centres, WIM stations are used to screen Heavy vehicles for weighing at weighbridges. As part of a Comprehensive Traffic Observation (CTO) system, WIM stations assist monitoring, design and planning of road networks and infrastructure.
