WIM system includes two compact staggered scale platforms, each containing four rugged load cells and an inductive loop installed in the concrete approach to the scale. As a vehicle crosses the scale, the software calculates the individual wheel, axle, and gross weights captured by the system's powerful industrial computer. Data is then available for display on a CRT or scoreboard, stored on the hard drive, sent to a printer, or transmitted to a remote device. The system can also control traffic lights, gates, and other peripheral equipment, and interface with cameras or AVI (automatic vehicle identification equipment).
