ON THE COVER
verloaded vehicles pose a significant obstacle for
Indian roads, with an estimated 10,000 people
killed by overloaded trucks in 2020. Maintaining
the weight of these vehicles becomes a pressing
requirement for the government, with Weigh-In-
O Motion systems gaining steam.
In western countries, currently Weigh-in-Motion is actively
used for traffic classification and assessing the road’s load
bearing capacity for future increase in traffic. In India, we
are manufacturing and installing Weigh-in-Motions since
2007, where the technology is actively used for detection of
overloaded trucks on National Highways and several State
Highways. This system acts as a deterrent in overloading of
trucks, as heavy penalties are levied on violators,” states Ashish
Bhutani, Managing Director, Ashbee Systems Pvt Ltd.
