In the transport and logistics sector, load accuracy is not only a matter of performance but also of safety and sustainability. Dynamic weighing systems (also known as Weigh-In-Motion, WIM) represent an advanced technological solution for measuring the weight of vehicles in motion, without the need for stopping or slowing down.
This technology allows real-time detection of axle and gross vehicle weights for heavy trucks, improving traffic management, infrastructure maintenance, and preventing premature road wear. Dynamic weighing thus stands as a strategic tool in the fight against overloading and compliance with current regulations.
A WIM system consists of sensors—often load cells or piezoelectric sensors—installed directly in the road surface or on dedicated platforms. When a vehicle passes over the measurement point, the sensors record weight, speed, number of axles, and other useful data for monitoring and vehicle classification.
Load cells are key components: these transducers convert the force exerted by a load into a proportional electrical signal. This signal, processed by electronic control units and dedicated software, provides an accurate measurement even in heavy traffic conditions.
Thanks to advanced data compensation and filtering systems, dynamic weighing today is highly reliable even on uneven surfaces or with vehicles traveling at varying speeds.
Dynamic weighing systems have multiple applications:
Among the main benefits of dynamic weighing are:
