  1. Victor Dolcemascolo – DGITM* Bernard Jacob - IFSTTAR** * General Directorate for Infrastructure, Transport and the Sea ** French Institute for Sciences and Technology for Transports, Development and Networks The French National Projet :Using WIM for direct enforcement of overloading

  2. Presentation plan • Introduction : Static enforcement of overloading • Description of the WIM project • Organization – Technicals means • Budget • Participation of the vendors

  3. Static enforcement of overloading :Situation in France Yearly static controls

  4. Static enforcement of overloading : Drawbacks and advantages • Need human resources (weighing officers, policemen...) • Need a static weighing area • Need static scales (risk of vandalism...) • Capacity to control only a small percentage of the truck traffic flow • Increase of the truck traffic flow and the average level of truck overloading → not efficient → but static weighing or low speed WIM are the ONLY devices legally approved for weight enforcement (by OIML recommandation)

  5. Description of the WIM Project • 4 years project : 2013-16 • IFSTTAR/ CETE Est and Ouest • Objective: Implementation of HS-WIM for direct enforcement of overloading • 2 phases : • Phase 1 (2013-14): feasibility study for OIML type approval of an HS-WIM system • Phase 2 (2015-16): construction and test of a prototype

  6. Organization WP1: Feasibility of OIML type approval WP3 : MS-WIM WP4: Bridge WIM WP2 : Interaction sensor/pavement Transv WP : On site test WP5 : Expert study

  7. Technical mean:Accelerated Pavement Testing Facility

  8. Budget • First phase (2013-14): 777 k€ • Consumables, etc.: 177 k€ • Staff: 600 k€ (50 MM) • Second phase (2015-16): 728 k€ • Consumables, etc.: 150 k€ • Staff: 578 k€ (48 MM)

  9. Participation of Vendors • Welcome in this project • to take part in the experimentations • to contribute to and benefit of the R&D effort • to develop market solutions and products • IFSTTAR will issue a document describing the conditions of participation to this project (participation contract) + organise meetings Contact persons: louis-marie.cottineau@ifsttar.fr bernard.jacob @ifsttar.fr

  10. Thank you
