Dynamic Weighing for High-Speed Heavy Equipment Control
We open 2025 with a new installation completed between January and February in Uruguay, entirely dedicated to dynamic weighing and road monitoring.
During our recent trip, we successfully completed the installation of the BISONTE (Weigh In Motion) dynamic weighing system, designed to detect the weights of heavy vehicles even at high speeds.
The weather was particularly warm, not only because of the high seasonal temperatures (up to 40 degrees), but also because of the hospitality of the people and the availability of our partners.
The installation took place near Minas, a picturesque town in the Uruguayan hinterland, capital of the department of Lavalleja.
This region is renowned for its hilly landscapes and strong agro-pastoral tradition, elements that make it a strategic hub for the transit of goods on a national scale.
In particular, Minas is located on a logistics corridor of primary importance, where timber, livestock and agricultural products from the northern regions of the country are conveyed to the south, with Montevideo as their main destination.
Our BISON system has been positioned along one of the busiest connecting arteries in Uruguay, essential for maintaining the constant flow of heavy vehicles.
The daily passage of trucks loaded with vital resources for the local economy (and beyond) makes the surveillance and measurement of loads a crucial element in ensuring road safety and the preservation of infrastructure.
With this installation, we aim to significantly improve traffic management and support the economic growth of the region.
A Promising Collaboration for Road Safety in Uruguay
A key element of the success was excellent coordination: adequate equipment, highly qualified staff and precise planning made it possible to complete the entire work without any hitches or unforeseen events.
Despite the temperature peaks, the BISON system has reconfirmed its reliability: dynamic weighing operates unchanged even in extreme climatic conditions, without being affected by temperature variations.
This installation marks the beginning of a promising collaboration with the aim of improving road safety and ensuring increasingly efficient monitoring of heavy vehicles.
