The presentation will delve into the use of bridge weigh-in-motion systems in mitigating these risks - from monitoring of overloaded vehicles to protection of bridges and structural health monitoring. Three practical applications will be presented: − a large scale use of bridge weigh-in-motion systems in Slovenia and the resulting decrease in the percentage of overloaded vehicles. − protection of a bridge with a maximum gross vehicle weight limitation in the Netherlands. − advanced structural health monitoring of a bridge combined with bridge weigh-in-motion.1 pagePDFSouthern African Transport Conference 2025Article
