Summary

The weight in motion system market is expected to grow at a strong CAGR of around 10% during the forecast period.
Overweight vehicles are very dangerous for road structures, trucks with axle loads higher than the legal limit cause enormous damage to the infrastructure, which is generally accepted to be proportional to the 4th power of the axle weight ie. Doubling the axle weight causes a 16-fold increase in damage to the road infrastructure. Weight-in-motion systems are designed to capture and record axle weight and gross vehicle weight as the vehicle drives over the measurement site, and unlike older static weigh stations, WIM systems are capable of measuring at normal traffic speeds and do not require the vehicle to stop or drive at low speed making them much more efficient hence, WIM system not only offers the potential for the enforcement agency to significantly increase the number of truck checks but also enables a free flow for nonoverloaded vehicles. Furthermore, a combination of WIM with ICT(Information and communication technologies) has expanded the use case of WIM systems such as digital imaging, vehicle identification, and the use of various databases hence has a very important role to play in the development of smart cities and intelligent transport systems. For instance, as of 2015 in the city of Prague, there are currently, 8 centrally operated WIM stations installed with 17 monitored traffic lanes. The goal is to monitor all roads entering the city to prevent damage caused by overloaded vehicles.

Insights Presented in the Report
“Amongst end-use industry, Roadways has the maximum application for the WIMs system”
Based on the end-user industry, the market is segmented into Roadways, Railways, Ports and Logistics, and the Aviation industry. Among these roadways industry provides the majority of the market for the WIM system and is also expected to grow at a significant CAGR, owing to reasons like, WIM systems are used to enforce weight regulations on roadways. Overloaded vehicles can cause damage to roads and bridges, leading to increased maintenance costs and safety concerns. WIM systems help authorities monitor the weight of vehicles in real-time, ensuring that they comply with weight restrictions, additionally, Overloaded vehicles can also pose a significant risk to road safety. They may be more difficult to control, and their braking distance may be longer than expected. By using WIM systems, authorities can ensure that only properly loaded vehicles are allowed on the road, reducing the risk of accidents. Moreover, WIM systems are a cost-effective solution for monitoring vehicle weights. They are less expensive than other methods of weight monitoring, such as weighbridges, and can be easily integrated into existing roadway infrastructure. For instance, In the United States, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has been promoting the use of WIM systems since the 1990s. As of 2019, there were over 200 WIM systems installed across the country, with more being added each year. These systems are used to monitor overweight vehicles, enforce weight limits, and collect tolls on highways and bridges

“Europe dominated the weight in motion system market in 2021.”
The weight in motion system market in the European region held the largest market share and is expected to maintain its growth throughout the forecast period. There have been considerable developments in the Weight in motion industry in Europe in recent years. On the hardware front, there have been improvements made to the WIM sensor’s durability whereas on the software front, there has been the development of new calculation algorithms for multiple sensors (MS-WIM) and bridge WIM(B-WIM), and this has resulted in the wider application of WIM for enforcements of overloading. Moreover, WIM systems can also be used for traffic management. By monitoring the weight and speed of vehicles on a roadway, authorities can better understand traffic patterns and make adjustments as necessary. This can help reduce congestion and improve safety on the roadways. Additionally, WIM systems are also used extensively for toll collections on highways and bridges in the European Union.
