WIM for Enforcement (1)
Panel Discussion at ICWIM6 More and more countries want to use WIM to help enforcement of overloads It becomes the first application of WIM Accurate screening: Video-WIM + auto. plate recognition + on-road/in company enforcement/company profiling Needs for more formal procedures, WIM system type approval and Standardization
Direct (automatic) enforcement Taiwan: with tolerances of 10-15%, option for the driver to ask a double-check in static on site Czech Republic: legally possible, a few systems approved, tolerance of 10% (GW), still some issues to resolve France (and others?): on-going investigations ISWIM - Jan 2013, B.

WIM for Enforcement (2)
European perspectives Revision of the Directive 96/53 on heavy vehicle weights and dimensions proposed (still to be approved by the Commission, the Council and the Parliament) New chapter/article envisaged on enforcement, with minimum requirements for the Member States, reporting, monitoring, etc. (Semi-) Automatic enforcement planned (staff and space constraints, efficiency need) Road side WIM combined with on-board WIM and AVI ? E.g. (France) tolerances of the COST323 class A(5) required, but for ≈100% a subset of vehicles identified by the system Better to automatically enforce 30%, 50% or 70% of the whole traffic within a legal metrology frame, than nothing, or a few % or even less than 1% in static/low-speed ISWIM - Jan 2013, B.
