The Golden River Weigh-in-Motion system measures dynamic vehicle weights at normal road speeds. No slowing or interruption to traffic flow. The system can be used for data collection, retrieval, analysis and presentation and is ideal for real-time preselection enforcement or for toll road and maximum weight applications. The flush mounted sensor provides consistent response over time and is unaffected by ageing or temperature changes. Golden River and Kistler joined forces to produce the most accurate and reliable WIM system under the COST 323 trials. As such, the combination of Golden River and Kistler is the only system to reach the higher levels of European compliance. The Lineas quartz sensor offers particularly high accuracy weighing combined with durability and reliability. Experience has shown these systems to be highly effective in a wide range of applications, including: data-gathering, identification for weight-limit enforcement and bridge-overload protection. All can be performed accurately and reliably at normal highway speeds. The Marksman 671/2 WIM systems provide superior performance under COST 323, and also feature; vehicle by vehicle recording, Kistler proven and highly accurate sensor technology along with simple to use analysis software. Marksman 671/2 WIM systems will provide early warning when traffic volumes and loading exceed a road’s design specifications. Marksman units measure the downward forces on the road surface so they directly generate data about the factors that cause wear and deterioration of the road’s surface and construction. Increasing traffic volumes and heavier vehicles have created a need to protect weak bridges from overloads, either from individual excessively-heavy or overloaded vehicles or from having too many vehicles on a bridge simultaneously. Golden River’s Bridge Overload Protection System (BOPS) allows operators and authorities to keep their bridges open by protecting them from over-loading. BOPS offers a very cost effective solution to the problems of how to protect weak bridges.

With traffic growth and congestion, many roads are subject to rapidly increasing traffic load and overloading. The Marksman 671/2 WIM unit will provide early warning of unexpected load and wear when deployed permanently on major routes or temporarily in particular problem areas. The traffic engineer is then able to plan maintenance on the basis of accurate road wear data.
