• To support:
       - advances in Weigh-in-Motion technologies,
       - standardisation of Weigh-in-Motion technologies,
       - the more widespread use of Weigh-In-Motion,
       - the applications of WIM data.
  • To disseminate knowledge and understanding of WIM by:
       - organising conferences, seminars, training courses and other events,
       - supporting, collecting, distributing and advertising scientific and technical publications on WIM,
       - facilitating exchanges of research staff and postgraduate students where this leads to a sharing of experience, results and data relating to WIM.
  • To promote and support international research and development projects on WIM.
  • To initiate, participate and/or monitor WIM standardisation activities by:
       - developing standards relating to WIM and its applications,
       - promoting and supporting common tests of WIM systems, developing harmonised procedures, and publishing scientific results useful for WIM users and manufacturers.
  • To promote the use and application of WIM systems and data, currently mainly used for:
       - infrastructure design and maintenance (e.g. bridges and pavements),
       - detection and enforcement of overloaded vehicles,
       - road transport pricing and surveys,
       - road safety and environmental impacts.
