Weigh-in-motion (WIM) sensors allow the control of vehicle weights without disruption of traffic. WIM systems bring very important savings by traffic monitoring and by reducing the number of overloaded vehicles. This paper discusses the present status and developmental trends of Haigh-speed weigh-in-motion (HS-WIM) technologies. Both commercial and new types of WIM sensors are presented. Strengths and weaknesses of different type of WIM sensors are discussed, as well as the economic aspects of the different technologies. Possible future developments of WIM technologies concerning the measurement performance are also described.
