| 008 | 12/11/15-12:00:12 | Baimukhametov Timur | The Ministry of Investment and Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan have been built 12-points of WIM systems for direct enforcement. The additionally 25 WIM points are under design plans of the Ministry. The complete WIM network on international and republican roads in Kazakhstan will be realized up to total 84 WIM points. In this regard, the Committee of the Ministry of Transport Investment and Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan, would like to begin the process of consultation with all interested international organizations and groups, experts, and vendors of WIM. It will be welcome, if the above mentioned organizations could make relevant comments and suggestions to improve the good quality and stability of the weighing systems.

| 006 | 11/02/10-04:05:04 | Chris Koniditsiotis | Transport Certification Australia Limited (TCA), the company administering the Intelligent Access Program (IAP), has undertaken a feasibility study on a regulatory On-Board Mass Monitoring (OBM) system. An OBM system utilises on-board strain gauge and air pressure transducer to continuously monitor the weight of heavy vehicles. The study was the first of its kind in the world. The study was funded by Australian Commonwealth Government to assess whether on board vehicle weighing systems can be engaged to support the government road reform process, in addition to private sector uses. TCA engaged all Australian suppliers and tested twelve systems as part of the study. The findings established that it was possible to achieve on-board mass measurement within 2% accuracy. In addition the systems demonstrated a robustness and usability that could cater to different Australian needs and physical environments. Quality indicators were developed in the study to provide government with the confidence in using OBM systems for regulatory applications. With the learnings from the feasibility study, TCA delivered a draft functional and te |

| 004 | 29/05/08-15:15:08 | Tom Kearney | I would like to extend my congratulations to everyone involved in the planning and delivery of the International HVTT10/ICWIM05 Conference. I have heard nothing but the highest praise expressed toward the event from US colleagues that were able to attend. USDOT-FHWA looks forward to a close partnership with international colleagues as we all tackle the challenges of improving the efficiency of truck enforcement through advancing automated solutions as levels of highway based freight continue to increase. Good job on the conference! |
