Record 2 2015-11-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Loads and Weights (Transport.)
CONT

In the late sixties the development of new measurement methods made possible systems that can weigh a slowly moving vehicle or can estimate the static weight of a vehicle travelling at a normal highway speed. These methods are referred to as low-speed weigh-in-motion (LS-WIM) and high-speed weigh-in-motion (HS-WIM), respectively.

OBS

low-speed WIM: term proposed by the World Road Association.

Key term(s)
  • LSWIM
  • SSWIM

French

Domaine(s)
  • Poids et charges (Transports)
CONT

Le pesage à basse vitesse consiste à intercepter les véhicules et à les détourner vers la station de pesage; ils passent alors à vitesse réduite […] sur des appareils de mesure.

OBS

pesage à basse vitesse : terme proposé par l'Association mondiale de la route.

high-speed WIM; HS-WIM: term and abbreviation proposed by the World Road Association.

Key term(s)
  • HSWIM

French

Domaine(s)
  • Poids et charges (Transports)
CONT

Mais pour être réellement efficace, cette technique doit être couplée au pesage à vitesse normale. Pour ce faire, le ministère des Transports a entrepris l'installation de stations de surcharge des poids lourds. Elles sont réparties sur l'ensemble du territoire et permettent de peser les véhicules dans leur voie de circulation sans les ralentir ni les détourner.

OBS

pesage à vitesse normale : terme proposé par l'Association mondiale de la route.

Record 4 2015-11-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Measuring Instruments (Engineering)
  • Loads and Weights (Transport.)
DEF

A device used to weigh moving vehicles that are driven over a specific portion of a traffic lane.

CONT

Each site comprises a WIM device, a box with 2 cameras and a module for measuring average speeds. These instruments transmit their data recordings to a module located at the inspection zone that also receives incoming certified weight measurements.

OBS

weigh-in-motion device; in-motion weigher; dynamic weigher: terms proposed by the World Road Association.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Instruments de mesure (Ingénierie)
  • Poids et charges (Transports)
DEF

Dispositif servant à mesurer le poids des véhicules en mouvement qui roulent sur une certaine portion d’une voie de circulation.

CONT

Au premier objectif de connaissance du trafic correspondent des «bascules dynamiques» qui pèsent les essieux sans arrêter les poids lourds.

OBS

Bien que le terme «balance dynamique» soit parfois utilisé, le terme «bascule dynamique» est à privilégier, puisque c'est le mot «bascule» qui convient lorsqu'on veut parler d'un appareil servant à peser des objets lourds.

OBS

bascule dynamique; appareil de pesage en marche : termes proposés par l'Association mondiale de la route.
