Winterthur, February 2019 – Valuable infrastructures such as roads and bridges need efficient monitoring, optimized maintenance and long-term development planning. How can all this be achieved? With automated systems to measure axle load and total weight – known as Weigh In Motion (WIM) technology. KiTraffic Statistics, the complete package from Kistler featuring the new Lineas Compact sensors, makes the job as simple as could be.
All over the world, traffic flows are soaring. Heavy and overloaded commercial vehicles are exerting extreme stress on roads that are often subject to aging, and on bridges that could easily collapse. A 30-tonne truck has the potential to cause just as much damage as 7 500 ordinary passenger cars! Weigh In Motion systems by Kistler are the solution of choice for keeping track of road use, so operators can develop effective measures to protect and maintain bridges and highways. At relatively low cost, Kistler's systems deliver informative data about vehicle numbers and classes, axle loads and total weight throughout their long service lifetimes.
