Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) Strip Sensors

Intercomp’s Weigh-In-Motion Strip Sensors are built with Strain Gauge technology and provide accurate vehicle weight measurements at speeds up to 80 mph (130 km/h) and beyond. HS-WIM Sensors are used for a wide range of applications including direct weight enforcement, pre-selection, data collection, tolling, and more. Intercomp’s Weigh-In-Motion Sensors deliver accurate, reliable, and efficient weight measurements with a low cost of ownership.

At Intercomp, we manufacture Weigh-In-Motion (HS-WIM) Strip Sensors that utilize strain gauge technology which sustains calibration over time, offers lower positional sensitivity, and is robust under harsh environmental conditions. .  If you have specific questions regarding our Weigh-In-Motion Sensor options, get in touch with our sales team and we will gladly answer any questions you have regarding your specific requirements.

Strain Gauge Strip Sensor Advantages

Strain Gauge Strip Sensors offer a unique alternative to vehicle weighing, providing accurate, stable, and long lasting alternative for ASTM E1318-09 Type I, Type II, Type III and COST 323 A(5), B+(7) or B(10) requirements for Traffic Data Collection and Weight Enforcement.  The Intercomp Strain Gauge Strip Sensor has been certified by international standard-setting body OIML with an accuracy of 5% for measuring the gross vehicle weights (GVW) of heavy vehicles at highway speeds. 

The Intercomp Strain Gauge Strip Sensors are also OIML certified for WIM uses at low speeds, providing a popular alternative for end-users who are seeking easier installation and maintenance when compared to traditional low-speed WIM (LS-WIM) scales. The Strain Gauge Strip Sensors stand out among all strip sensor technologies for the ability to weigh accurately at both low-speed and high-speed. 

Strain Gauge Strip Sensors provide a lower cost of acquisition and ownership over other WIM technologies, requiring less overall maintenance and easier and less frequent calibrations. Additional High-Speed Weigh-In-Motion Vehicle Sensor benefits include:

• Minimally Invasive Enclosure for Quick Installation
• Lower Positional Sensitivity
• Weigh Vehicles at Low and High Speeds
• Compliant with COST 323 & ASTM E1318-09
• OIML R134 Certified

The Intercomp Strain Gauge Strip Sensors provide accurate dynamic weighing across many high-speed applications throughout the world. The performance, reliability and longevity of Intercomp’s Strip Sensors provide an excellent return on investment for precision HS-WIM systems. The following applications reflect the broad use potential of Intercomp’s Strain Gauge Strip Sensors in HS-WIM applications.

WIM Sensors for HS-WIM Pre-Selection

High-Speed Weigh-In-Motion (HS-WIM) information is used in the mainline when screening for enforcement or pre-selection prior to diverting vehicles for static weighing. In the United States, static weights are used for direct enforcement, and direct data comparisons demonstrate the performance of strain-gauge based HS-WIM sensors coupled with static scales utilizing the same highly accurate technology.
Intercomp’s robust strain gauge-based HS-WIM sensor layouts allow for consistent and uninterrupted weight measurements of all passing vehicles for pre-selection applications. 

Strip Sensors for HS-WIM Direct Enforcement

Transportation departments, ministries of transportation, and enforcement officials throughout the globe rely on High-Speed Weigh-In-Motion systems for law enforcement purposes. Depending on local enforcement laws, Intercomp’s High-Speed Weigh-In-Motion Strip Sensors are a robust and dependable option for enforcement purposes, with OIML R134 certification to support use in countries that use OIML as reference for their HS-WIM direct enforcement standards.

HS-WIM for Traffic Data Collection & Overweight Identification

Road owners throughout the globe rely on High-Speed Weigh-In-Motion systems for their data collection initiatives. In other places, HS-WIM sites can be used to monitor vehicle traffic loads and identify overload conditions for further action. The information provided by HS-WIM systems helps road operators understand the regions and times where overloading problems are most significant, allowing them to plan for infrastructure costs and possible overload control strategies.
