Weigh-in-Motion of road vehicles - Requirements

Publication date:   Aug 22, 2016

Scope

1.1 This standard specifies the requirements for installation, calibration, performance and accuracy assessment, and test methods for Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) systems, that are used to determine gross weights, axle and group-of-axle loads for road vehicles when they are weighed in motion.
1.2 This standard applies to:
1.2.1 WIM systems installed on road infrastructure (including bridges), but not to the WIM systems installed on-board of vehicles;
1.2.2 High speed WIM (HS-WIM) systems, i.e. systems installed in one or more traffic lane(s) of a road, and operated automatically under normal traffic conditions, and to low speed WIM (LS-WIM) systems, i.e. systems installed in a controlled weighing area, and operated under controlled conditions;
1.2.3 WIM systems using either scales which are able to weigh standard masses statically, or other sensors which may measure the loads indirectly;
1.2.4 on-site full WIM system performance assessment and model (type) approval, but excludes laboratory (product) tests or tests on parts of systems (e.g. sensors only).
1.6 The scope of this standard covers all WIM applications, except trade.
NOTE For load enforcement of road vehicles, this standard or the OIML (International Organization for Legal Metrology) international recommendation R 134-1 and 134-2 (OIML, 2004 and 2006) applies, depending on the national requirements and legislation.
1.7 WIM systems used for trade are dealt with in the OIML recommendations R134-1 and R134-2 (OIML, 2006 and 2004). These OIML recommendations apply to WIM systems installed in controlled weighing areas, on a specified apron and where the vehicle speed is controlled. They mainly apply to WIM systems composed of scales, which are capable of weighing standard masses statically. The OIML recommendations are limited to the highest accuracy classes (0,2 to 10), with tolerances for 100 % of the measurements.
This standard applies to any WIM system, which may be installed either in a controlled weighing area, or on a road open to traffic. These systems may use road sensors and bridge WIM.
This standard covers type approval testing, initial and in service testing.
This standard specifies the required performance and ability of WIM systems in general, but does not aim to standardize products.
