3. Why to use Weigh-In-Motion?
Main reasons for the need of an effective WIM technology
Increasing heavy traffic on the main roads
Need to improve road safety by reducing accidents based on increased safety risk due to overloaded road vehicles
Avoid the destruction of the road infrastructure
Reduction of the road or bridge maintenance costs combined with increasing of the life time
Improved data for the road maintenance monitoring
Compliance with legal road requirements

5. Status of Freight transport on European highways
France transported in millions tonnes-kilometer of freight, of which 289 where on road (=85%).
Figure 2 – Parts modales terrestres en 2013
Figure 1 – Évolution de la production de transport.
In 2013 there were 53,8 million heavy vehicles on the European highways.
2014 almost 1,1 billion freight transport journeys were done.

9. Advanced Validation of the Measurement
15 different validity check scenarios available in the WIM GUI:
Kapsch WIM Validity Check System (VCS) enables Direct Enforcement.
VCS evaluates the overall measurement accuracy – a 100% valid measurement means ready for Direct Enforcement.
VCS is certified by the Czech and Russian Metrological Institute, based on the ASTM standard as well under type approval for USA (State of Indiana), France and Austria.

11. Czech Republic | Experiences & Results of CVE project
In 2012 during 8 months test period vehicles over 3,5t were weighted.
2210 (~68% ) of vehicles measured with 100%
Their average overload was 2t per vehicle
Economic Benefits
Direct impacts - fines for overloaded vehicles (in that one measuring point was identified for the eight months collection of 902,000 EUR => conservative Return on Investment is 3-4 months
Indirect impacts – more haulers begin to follow proper load of vehicles, less investment is needed for the repair and reconstruction of the surface.
=> Long-term savings of millions Euros

Certifying an Automatic Direct Enforcement type approval for a WIM system supporting the French departments of IFSTTAR, CEREMA and DGITM (French Ministry of Transport).
Road trials aim at validating, with known test vehicles, traffic vehicles and in controlled current traffic conditions, the metrological and functional ability of the proposed WIM systems to be used for Direct Enforcement

20. Conclusion
Nowadays truck overloading and non-compliance is a serious problem with negative impacts on infrastructure, safety and environment and distorts competition between hauliers and transport modes.
Trucking associations and carriers alike promote enforcement as a method towards improving or leveling the competitive playing field.
Automated roadside safety inspection like Commercial Vehicle Enforcement leads to more safety and compliance on the roads with less financial resources.
Automated roadside safety inspection will become an important part to avoid more uncontrolled heavy goods traffic, helps to save money in the maintenance of roads, reduce environmental impacts as well as provide a fair competition road for the future.
