Częstochowa University of Technology in a consortium with the Ministry of Infrastructure, the Road and Bridge Research Institute and the Cracow University of Technology will implement the project “System of automatic weighing of vehicles in traffic”. The project is being realised as part of the programme Social and economic development of Poland in conditions of globalising markets – GOSPOSTRATEG.
The aim of the project is to develop the concept and requirements of a system for weighing vehicles in traffic with high measurement accuracy and stability, as well as pilot implementation of a research version of the system.
The introduction of the system will enable better protection of the road network against accelerated degradation caused by overloaded vehicles. This will reduce the resources spent by road managers and the state budget. The improvement in safety and support for competitiveness will also benefit vehicle drivers and transport companies directly.
