Weight in Motion System Market is a technology that is basically used for analyzing the weight of moving vehicles. They are installed on the road or rail tracks or on the vehicles and measure, store, and provide data from traffic flow or of the specific vehicle. The WIM system measures the dynamic axle loads of the vehicle and the weight information consists of gross vehicle weight and axle loads combined with other parameters like date and time, location, speed, and vehicle class.

The problem is caused by the overloading of vehicles and how WIM is facilitating the authorities in the enforcement of weight limits on road freight.

The increase in freight traffic and the free movement of goods across European borders is creating a very huge impact on the infrastructure, environment, and resources at times when the European union is aiming to encourage more sustainable modes of transportation. Moreover, this road freight transport by overloaded trucks is also creating several serious problems in Europe’s road network like unfair competition, reduced safety and mobility, and large additional costs for maintenance and repair of the roads and bridges, these all problems can be addressed with the use of WIM system, WIM sensors can estimate the static load from the measured dynamic load without disturbing the traffic, and with the increase of WIM stations number of overloaded vehicles have been decreased considerably from the roads and had played a very important role in protecting the road infrastructure and decreasing the number of accidents. Moreover, WIM stations today include a variety of sensors and technologies, as well as the ability to perform additional essential functions like Continuous Data Acquisition System (CDAS) synchronized with WIM sensor, Automated Vehicle Identification Systems (AVI), or automatic plate number recognition, reducing the bridges loading, and Infrared sensors are capable of detecting worn bearings, brakes, or tires, as well as deflated tires.

Based on technology type, the market is segmented into load cells, bending plates with a strain gauge, and piezoelectric sensors. Out of all these, the piezoelectric WIM systems are most commonly used owing to the fact that the dimension of the excavated ditch for installation of the sensors are very small and they have excellent dynamic properties as they can measure gross vehicle weight and axle weight at higher speeds by generating a voltage that is proportional to the force applied on it, also no external energy is needed to obtain the output signal and they are easier and cheaper to install and are available at a very competitive cost with respect to the other WIM systems available.

Based on application, the market is segmented into pavement engineering, bridge engineering, weight enforcement, tolling by weight, traffic data collection, and vehicle profiling. Weight enforcement and tolling by weight are one of the most popular applications of the WIM systems, there are now enforcement screening systems that are designed to improve the efficiency of the weigh stations using the WIM system, hence no vehicles can go to the roads without being weighed which used to happen earlier when loaded vehicles were weighed in the static weighing system, Bridge protection systems guarantee that vehicles weighing more than a certain amount do not travel across an unstable structure, WIM equipment is frequently used in conjunction with camera devices for preventing this to happen and can function unattended, also quarry and mining systems use WIM system to monitor material movement at the entry and the exits. Moreover, The majority of toll networks base tariff structures on vehicle class. With the knowledge that heavy vehicles cause the most damage, there is an increasing demand for WIM technology to be used as a method and foundation of toll collection.
