The weigh forward
Original language description
Transit of heavy, especially overloaded trucks is a problem in many countries. It is true also for the Czech Republic. This is proven, for example, in a feasibility study prepared for the ministry of transport, CR [1]. For this reason, so called weight in motion (WIM) systems become today justly quite a lot of attention. The major objective of this paper is though to introduce the concept of weight in motion. Rather than discussing the principles of WIM, the reasons for such systems are provided and their need justified. Another important objective is to discuss possible usage of WIM systems within the scope of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), with focus on EFC systems. The name WIM refers to systems, which automatically measure weight of passing vehicles without the need for stopping them. However, nowadays it is not generally true. In most projects, the WIM system does not ensure sufficient precision to provide exact weight measurement. Rather, it is used to detect potential
