ALGORITHM TO DIGITALLY MONITOR OVERLOADING OF TRUCKS WHILE MINIMISING CONGESTION AT WEIGH BRIDGES

This novel system allows for digital monitoring of payloads on heavy vehicles and avoids repetitive, physical weighing of compliant vehicles at static weighbridges to check overloading status. This is achieved by digitally linking all weighbridges and existing or new cameras on a specific corridor. Once a truck is weighed and photographed, the system digitally recognises any visual changes and undue delays, while the vehicle is in transit.
Only exceptions (with visual changes, undue delays, stoppages and detours) are referred to the static weighbridge for re-testing, saving time and money.

Technology benefits:

• Cost-effective
• Digital, centrally monitored law enforcement
• Easy to integrate into existing systems 
• Advances prolonged pavement surfaces

Market opportunity: 

Ideal for the management of toll roads and logistics corridors, especially in developing countries.

Assist with the management of tarred road maintenance.
