Bison High-Speed WIM Model Safe Road

BISON Model Safe Road: High-Speed WIM for Protecting Critical Infrastructure

BISON model SAFE ROAD (WIM – Weigh In Motion) is ideal for installation on ordinary roads, on bridges or viaducts or in the immediate proximity, in order to protect these important works of art, and in all those situations that require constant real-time monitoring of loads in transit. BISON SAFE ROAD complies with the COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) 323 guidelines according to the accuracy class B + (7) for transits up to 130 km / h and allows easy installation both in the presence of single lane and double lane. In the case of a double lane track, BISON SAFE ROAD system will be able to monitor both lanes.

BISON SAFE ROAD for infrastructure monitoring

CROSS LANE COUNTING

BISON SAFE ROAD system is installed on the road with 2 lanes without traffic divider, it detect transits between the two lanes in both directions of travel.

IDEAL FOR HIGH SPEEDS

BISON SAFE ROAD complies with COST 323 for weighing vehicles up to a speed of 130km/h, enabling a continuous monitoring of transport weights, ranging from 5 km/h to 130 km/h. The system's precision and adaptability ensure reliable weight measurements for a wide range of vehicles, enhancing traffic management and weight enforcement capabilities.

BIDIRECTIONAL

The bi-directionality in the detection of the weight of the vehicles in transit permits to use the system even in case of alternating one-way streets or carriageway exchanges.

EASY AND FAST INSTALLATION

The BISON SAFE ROAD is adaptable to any surface and road type. The absence of electricity cables, making the installation fast and simple. This eliminates the need for extensive infrastructure modifications, reducing both costs and environmental impact.

SAFE ROAD SYSTEM FEATURES

FIBER OPTIC TECNOLOGY

BISON Model SAFE ROAD dynamic weighing system is based on the innovative technology represented by optical fiber sensors which makes it insensitive to temperature variations and electromagnetic disturbances.

SOLID AND RESISTANT

The solid structure of the weighing plates of the IWIM 90_10 system, entirely made of AISI316L austenitic steel alloy, make it absolutely resistant and suitable even for the most aggressive environments, such as those characterized by a high presence of chlorides due to the use of defrosting salts.

COMPLETE SOLUTION

BISON IWIM 90_10 involves the installation of only 2 plates per lane inside the road surface, excluding the need to install other sensors such as temperature sensors or inductive loops.

ROAD WORKS COMPATIBLE

BISON IWIM 90_10 is compatible with the use and transit of snow plows. Moreover it could be used after road rinnovation and asfalt surface remaking.

Skid-Resistant surface

The upper surface of BISON SAFE ROAD’s bending plates can be covered with a layer of ceramic-coated quartz which increases the hardness and resistance against the wear. This type of treatment also makes the weighing sensors chromatically more similar and integrated into the road pavement, while ensuring excellent levels of adherence for the tires of the transiting vehicles.

The surface treatment has successfully passed the skidding / derailment resistance tests as certified with the pendulum test according to UNI130036-4: 2011, carried out by an independent certified laboratory.

6 months after installation, the slabs had PTV (Pendulum Test Value) values ​​perfectly in line with those of the surrounding asphalt pavement, both in dry and wet conditions.
