IRD bridge weight monitoring systems reduce bridge loading and enhance safety. Using weigh-in-motion (WIM) technology, systems can collect data on bridge traffic, and authorities can use information to determine loadings on bridge and take appropriate countermeasures to protect bridge structures. Bridge weight monitoring systems can be deployed in advance of bridge location to advise vehicle operators of overloading. WIM technology can be integrated with a video tracking and monitoring system to ensure that vehicles obey signals and warnings when advised to not cross bridges. IRD, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada
