  1. WEIGH-IN-MOTION SYSTEM CALIBRATION

  2. CURRENT CHALLENGES • Significant Growth in CMV Traffic • Increased congestion and delay • Demand for larger and heavier vehicles • Mounting stress on infrastructure • Greater need for effective and efficient enforcement

  3. CURRENT CHALLENGES • Traditional WIM System Calibration Method Limitations • Field calibration procedures • Costly to perform • Occur infrequently • Auto-calibration procedures • May lead to progressive drift • Multiple weight sensor installation • Costly • Provides modest gains in accuracy • Post-collection data editing • provides only general indication of data conformance to expected weight distributions • not timely in flagging WIM performance problems

  4. THE NETHERLANDS BELGIUM GERMANY FRANCE SWITZERLAND SLOVENIA BACKGROUND • 2006 European Scan Tour • Emerging technologies • Unconventional procedures • Novel data applications • Innovative funding mechanisms • Multinational harmonization

  5. EUROPEAN APPROACH • WIM System Calibration • Continuous calibration • France, The Netherlands, during scheduled enforcement • Quality assurance • The Netherlands issues QA Statement with every data request • Dynamic calibration • The Netherlands utilizes specially designed vehicle

  6. SUPPORTING TECHNOLOGIES • Overheight Vehicle Detection System • Vehicle Profiler System • WIM Systems • In-road • Bridge • Dynamic Calibration Vehicle • Vehicle Identification System • Advanced Routing/Permitting System • Archived Records Database
