Abstract

The article discusses the principle of operation, mounting and the current measurement capabilities of one of the functional solutions – the bending plates – applied currently in the pre-selection WIM systems on the example of the solution installed on the A2 motorway. Also indicated what activities, in the opinion of the Central Office of Measures should be taken to be able to use the WIM systems based on the bending plates for administrative purposes in the future.
