How BISON Weigh-in-Motion works
STAINLESS STEEL BENDING PLATES
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 stainles 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.
Technical features
- OIML R134 CERTIFICATED
- COMPLIES WITH THE COST 323 B+(7)
- NO ELECTRICITY UNDER THE PLATES
- FIBER OPTIC SENSORS
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 spacing
Axle width
Vehicle length
Twinned wheels
Alert transit out of one bending plate
BISON Weigh In Motion - MORE DATA In One Solution
BISON Weigh In Motion system can be easily interfaced with other ITS systems such as ANPR cameras for license plate recognition, LIDAR/LASER for 3D dimensions of the vehicles, 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.
Weigh in motion system applications:
- Bridge and viaduct health monitoring
- Road maintenance works programming
- Collaboration with police and preselection
- Heavy transport statistics
- Real time network traffic monitoring
- Road safety improving
