A hybrid wim implementation strategy
Van loo, H.; Branković, R.; Radović, N.; Tsibadze, G.; Japardize, G.
Road authorities often have limited or no reliable information on the actual traffic loading
on their road network. When starting to implement WIM systems on a national road
network – and assuming limited financial means – one of the key questions is: “Where to
start? This presentation will describe a new approach for the implementation of Weigh-InMotion (WIM) systems on a road network using a combination of different WIM
technologies. First a series of short term (2 weeks) Bridge-WIM measurements will be
used to identify actual overloading hot-spots on the road network prior to investing in the
installation of more costly, permanent In-Road WIM systems. This hybrid approach is
especially suited for countries where no or limited reliable information is available on the
actual distribution of traffic (over-)loading. The approach has been used as part of the
implementation strategy for WIM implementation in the republics of Serbia and Georgia in
Europe.
