Weigh in Motion

The technically advanced multichannel ADR-WIM card from Oriux can be installed in the ADR Sabre, ADR-2000 Plus, or ADR-3000 Plus series of counters/classifiers, in either semi-permanent or permanent configurations. Installing a WIM card enables the ADR to emulate the dynamic weighbridge method of weighing heavy commercial vehicles at high speeds while maintaining the full functionality and ease of use of the ADR interface.

Advanced Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) Capability

Oriux’s multichannel ADR-Weigh In Motion card represents a significant advancement in traffic data collection, designed to seamlessly integrate into the ADR Sabre, ADR-2000 Plus, or ADR-3000 Plus series of counters and classifiers. Whether deployed in semi-permanent or permanent installations, this WIM card empowers your ADR unit to perform high-speed weighing of commercial vehicles, emulating dynamic weighbridge functionality while preserving the intuitive and user-friendly ADR interface.

Comprehensive Vehicle Data Collection

Once installed with one or two subsurface piezoelectric sensors (and optional secondary sensors), the system can gather a wide range of accurate traffic data. This includes arrival time, vehicle speed and classification, gross vehicle weight, individual axle weights and spacings, overload detection, volumetric flow, gap in addition to headway analysis, Equivalent Standard Axle Loads (ESALs), and more. These metrics can be recorded either per vehicle or in binned data formats, offering flexibility in data reporting. For short-term studies, temporary, cost-effective stick-down sensors may be installed.

Scalable Multi-Lane Site Monitoring

The ADR-WIM system supports monitoring of up to four lanes using the ADR Sabre Plus, as well as up to twelve lanes with the ADR-2000 or ADR-3000 Plus models. This makes it ideal for both urban and highway environments. Data is stored internally or via removable SD cards (up to 4 GB). In addition, power options include standard batteries, solar panels, or direct line power, thus ensuring continuous monitoring.

Real-Time Reporting and High Confidence Weighing

When connected to a PC via the RS232 port, the system can provide real-time data output for immediate alarm and event analysis. The dynamic auto-calibration feature, combined with precise sensors, ensures greater than 90% confidence in gross weight measurements—exceeding ASTM standards for accuracy. This real-time capability enhances safety monitoring and regulatory compliance.

User-Friendly and Configurable

The ADR-WIM card supports programmable vehicle classification schemes and per-vehicle WIM alarm outputs. Sensor technology includes on-scale detection to identify lane straddling. Setup is straightforward and can be conducted via PC, data card, or keyboard, in effect, accessibility for technicians in the field is ensured.

Flexible and Upgradeable System

A key benefit of Oriux’s WIM solution is its modular and scalable design. In addition, plug-in modules and easy-to-connect harnesses make expansion or reconfiguration simple. Furthermore, existing ADR Sabre Plus, ADR-2000 Plus, or ADR-3000 Plus systems can be upgraded on-site with minimal effort. The firmware is flash-loaded, making software updates quick and cost-effective.
