Protecting expensive infrastructure is essential, since a single trip of one single overweight vehicle may cause more destruction to the road surface than millions of correctly loaded vehicles. At the same time, overweight is a severe traffic hazard, and distorts honest competition between truck fleet operators.
EFKON designs, builds and operates free flow (HS-WIM) and stationary (LS-WIM) vehicle weigh stations, and the corresponding front-end and back-end systems, including references from several countries.
The Weighbridge and Traffic Contravention Modules of the TRAFMAN system are used at most of these weighbridges. TRAFMAN communicates with and controls the operation of legal (static) scales and is integrated with weigh-in-motion equipment at the roadside. The WIM equipment is used to screen heavy vehicles in a dedicated screener lane or in the main roadway, to determine whether such vehicles should be stopped and weighed on the legal scale. This module is therefore especially useful for law enforcement control on the overloading of heavy commercial vehicles.
