LS-WIM® Low Speed Weigh-In-Motion Truck Scale

LS-WIM® Low Speed Weigh-In-Motion truck weighing system that ensures weight data accuracy even while moving.

Description

Additional information

LS-WIM® Low Speed Weigh-In-Motion Scale

The LS-WIM® truck weighing system is a premier solution from the Intercomp group of companies, specifically developed for highly accurate, low-speed measurement of vehicle axle, axle group, and gross vehicle weights. This system is the ideal choice for applications where fast and reliable weight enforcement is essential while maintaining smooth traffic flow, such as at traffic control points, terminals, or industrial facilities.

LS-WIM® technology enables measurement during passage without stopping the vehicle, or at minimal speed (typically 5-15 km/h), significantly increasing efficiency compared to traditional static scales.

Key Features and Advantages

The LS-WIM® system combines robustness, accuracy, and flexibility to meet even the strictest industrial and regulatory requirements.

High Accuracy Measurement at Low Speed: The system provides excellent accuracy even when vehicles are moving slowly over the weighing surface. This is critically important for identifying overweight vehicles and monitoring load distribution.

Robust Construction: The weighing units (platforms or sensors) are made from durable, high-load capacity materials that withstand repeated loading from heavy trucks and adverse environmental conditions.

Portability and Installation Flexibility: Although LS-WIM® systems also exist in in-ground configurations, the portable versions can be installed and removed extremely quickly, making them ideal for temporary sites or establishing rapid inspection points.

Integrability: The system is easily integrable into existing traffic management systems, Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) software, and data acquisition systems.

Data Management and Software Support: Displays and software offered by Intercomp (such as RFX® wireless displays or dedicated WIM software) enable real-time data acquisition, storage, and report generation.

Technical Specifications (For General LS-WIM® Platforms)

The LS-WIM® product family is available in various configurations (e.g., LS630-WIM™, LS788-WIM™), but the fundamental technical parameters are as follows:

Parameter Description / Value Note
Measurement Mode In-Motion Low Speed
Pontosság Generally ±1% – ±3% depending on speed Separate scales are recommended for static measurement
Maximum Axle Load Depending on configuration, often over 15,000 kg Specifically for heavy commercial vehicles
Operating Speed 5 km/h – 15 km/h (3 mph – 9 mph) Speed optimization for accuracy purposes
Display/Control Unit With various Intercomp indicators (e.g., RFX® wireless) Data logging and display functions
Environmental Protection IP rated, weatherproof design For use in outdoor and harsh environments
Material Usage High-strength aluminum or steel alloys Long lifespan and load-bearing capacity
Communication Serial (RS232/RS485) or wireless options Integration with external systems

Application Areas

Due to the versatility of the LS-WIM® system, it can be used in numerous sectors where weight monitoring is crucial:

  1. Road Enforcement and ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems):
  • Screening of overweight vehicles on main routes.
  • Collection of traffic data (axle count, vehicle type, weight).
  • Checking driving permits.
  1. Logistics & Terminals:
  • Container Terminals & Ports: Quick check during loading and unloading.
  • Freight Yards: Quick check of cargo weight.
  1. Mining & Construction:
  • Continuous monitoring of the load of quarry equipment and trucks.
  • Quick weighing at temporary work sites.
  1. Commercial Fleets:
  • Fleet Management & Maintenance: Optimizing vehicle load for fuel efficiency.
  1. Special Vehicles:
  • Weighing electric vehicles (EVs), taking into account battery weight.
  • Weighing protocols for autonomous commercial vehicles.

Advantages of Portable LS-WIM® Solutions

Portable LS-WIM® systems (such as the LS630-WIM™) are especially valuable due to their flexibility. These modules are easily transportable and deployable, making them ideal for:

  • Temporary Weighing: Quickly deployable check points for unexpected traffic situations.
  • Multiple Locations: A single system can be used across multiple sites or check stations.
  • Rapid Deployment: Minimal site preparation required for installation, often only a level, solid surface is needed.

The LS-WIM® system reflects Intercomp's commitment to precision measurement, ensuring users receive the most reliable data on vehicle loading while minimizing traffic slowdowns.
