Weight Enforcement in Uruguay

10 years of ITS in Uruguay >> Weigh Enforcement Using WIM >> Uruguay Experience…

• By 1998 MTOP (Uruguay Department of Transportation) decided to upgrade its truckweighting policy in order to :weighting policy in order to :

• Reduce overweight,

• Improve % of weighted trucks

• MTOP implemented a BOT project with• MTOP implemented a BOT project withCSI/CIEMSA contract, with the followinggoals:

• Achieve a country‐wide WIM systemy ycoverage (with permanent and seasonalstations) along the entire road network, operating 24/7.

• Achieve an immediate response to anyemergency of the system.

• Achieve full Transparency and Reliabilityof the systemof the system.

• Align relevant stakeholders.

Achieved Results

10 years of ITS in Uruguay >> Weigh Enforcement Using WIM >> Uruguay Success Case…

Achieved Results

• Country‐wide WIM system coverage achievedwith 24/7 response. What is more, anIntegrated Enforcement System wasi l t dimplemented.

• 1.1 million of weighted trucks by Dec 2009.

• 60% of the registered truck fleet is to becontrolled by Dec 2009

• Wide acceptation of the system by truckassociations and public authorities (MTOP).Succesful alignment of relevant stakeholders.g

SOME ADVANCES BEYOND THE ORIGINALCONTRACT :

• Real time web‐based management system ofg yWIM stations (WIM Report) with access to thewhole information dataset andhistoricals, enhancing even more thetransparency standards. WIM Report.

• Dimension measurement laser system (errorless than 5 cm).

National Regulatory Framework


National Regulatory Framework

• Weight tolerance rules and norms for National Roads

– Definition of maximumweights per axle types, per axle groups and net gross weight

– Definition of network segments as “corridors” allowing more load at triple axegroup

– Tolerances: 5% in axles (30% transitory) and 3% in net gross weight.

– Establish fines according to a classification: slight, medium, severe and ultra severe

• Metrologic rules and norms:Metrologic rules and norms:

– Establish requirements and sampling methods for instruments related to weighingin motion

– Applicability: Instrumentation located at a controlled area (weight station)

– Requirements: Net Gross Weight within +/‐ 2% , for axle and axle groups +/‐ 3%.

– Methods: Referenced by European norm COST 323, OIML R134‐1 y ASTM E1318‐02 .

Traffic Monitoring System. Conclusions.

• The design of this type of system requiresconsiderable research. Suppliers advice should be

l d ith iti l i it i d t kanalyzed with critical spirit in order to make surethat the purchased technology is appropiated.

• Tha standards imposed by regulatory institutions(ASTM, AASHTO, etc) must be respected in order(ASTM, AASHTO, etc) must be respected in orderto ensure the equipment functions well.

• A special consideration must be taken in thecalibration procedures. ASTM E1318 or COST 323standards must be folowed in order to haveaccurate results.

• This project has achieved compliance with thestandard’s requirements and has obtainedstandard s requirements and has obtainedexcellent results. This is based on important workpreviously done in data collection, re‐paving andpre‐testing, as well as on a detailed installationdesign, careful installation and adequatesupervision.
