- Immunity to electromagnetic fields
- High durability and reduced maintenance
- Re-use of weigh sensors in case of maintenance work on the road surface
- Weigh sensors neede to be calibrated only every 2 years
- No electric cable or electronic device under the weigh sensors
- Weigh In Motion that works even in extreme conditions (snow or mud)
How BISON Weigh-in-Motion works
The Weigh In Motion (WIM) system allows vehicles to be weighed in the traffic flow without interruptions at speeds from 5 km/h to 150 km/h.
BISON’s advanced Weigh In Motion technology, based on fiber optics, enables the accurate measurement of total weight and axle load of moving vehicles, thus ensuring compliance with weight regulations and increasing road safety.
Data is collected and sent in real time, allowing for the management of all transits and the monitoring of overloaded vehicles on roads for pre-selection or direct sanctioning.
BISON Weigh-in-Motion Components
STAINLESS STEEL PLATE
The Weigh In Motion (WIM) system BISON is composed of 2 weighing sensors installed flush with the road surface and can be placed on urban and suburban roads, motorways / highways, bridge and toll booths.
FIBER OPTIC SENSORS
The weigh sensor consist of bending plates made of stainless steel and equipped with fiber optic sensors connected by fiber optic cable to the datalogger.
DATALOGGER
The data acquisition unit (datalogger), processes, and stores all information collected form weigh sensors in a database. All the transit information is made available to the user through a web interface easily accessible from every device.
How to install weigh in motion sensors?
Easy. Fast. Non Invasive installation.

Data collected by BISON Weigh Sensors
BISON is an advanced vehicle weighing system designed for dynamic measurement applications, offering a comprehensive array of data without the need for additional devices. BISON provides real time information including total/gross weight, spaces/distances between axles, recognition of double wheels, weight per axle and per wheel, vehicle length, direction of travel, speed, and classification of vehicles.
Gross vehicle weight (GVW)
Transit speed
Vehicle counting and classification
Number of axles
Single wheel weight
Axle width
Axle spacing
Vehicle length
Twinned wheels
Alert transit out of one bending plate
Why USE Weigh-in-Motion System: Applications.
- Bridge and viaduct health monitoring
- Road maintenance work scheduling
- Collaboration with police and preselection
- Statistics on heavy vehicle transport
- Real time network traffic monitoring
- Road safety improving
BISON Weigh in Motion - All in one solution
The BISON Dynamic Weighing system can be easily interfaced with other ITS systems such as ANPR cameras for license plate recognition, LIDAR/LASER for 3D vehicle dimensions, height, length, width.
Software for Weigh Sensors
The software is designed directly from iWIM, it has simple and intuitive and is able to provide, immediately and clear all the necessary information of specific interest to the user.
