- Page 2 Intercomp strain gauge strip sensors provide accurate dynamic weighing across many applications in installations all over the world. The performance, reliability and longevity of Intercomp’s WIM strip sensors provide the best return on investment of any form of precision WIM technology. Strip sensors involve minimally invasive installation in concrete or asphalt, and installations can be used in low speed (LS-WIM) and high speed (HS-WIM) applications.
- Page 3 Intercomp designs and manufactures weighing and measurement solutions to help our customers in WIM product deployment maximizing system performance and compliance. Manufactured at our headquarters in the United States, Intercomp products build upon 40 years of global industry expertise and applications experience to provide our customers superior quality, reliability and certainty in the products and services we deliver.
- Page 4 ™ accurate measurement possible. The inherent benefits of this technology are integrated into the WIM strip sensor with many advantages for in-road use. Designed from NTEP/OIML approved scale technology, the sensor measures the magnitude of mechanical quantities such as force, torque, load, and pressure to provide the benefits customers are accustomed to with precision scale technology.
- Page 5 Strain gauge technology is used in static weighing for direct weight enforcement and is accepted as the most accurate and reliable means to weigh a vehicle. Intercomp’s strip sensors integrate the same strain gauge technology incorporated into a compact strip for accurate WIM applications. Offering the lowest cost of ownership of any precision WIM sensor, the price, durability, and longevity of Intercomp sensors deliver performance to rely on.

Intercomp strip sensors satisfied the requirements to provide excellent traffic and weight data for this high traffic volume WIM site. As the Intercomp sensors were integrated with the local operator’s electronics and software, this adds to the variety of electronics platforms that are currently capable of working with Intercomp WIM sensors. - Page 7 In the future, when replacing current or creating new WIM sites, the State of Oregon has committed to use Intercomp strip sensors for their High-Speed WIM mainline technology. Strip sensors for pre-selection or enforcement incorporate strain gauge...
- Page 8 Highly accurate performance was required for this site, with 4 rows of sensors installed in each lane of traffic. Speeds at this WIM site are 5-10mph (8-16kmh), and the Intercomp products were ideal for the site as they do not require drains compared to other strain-gauge based technology.
- Page 9 The systems weigh vehicles upon entry and within the terminal for Gross Vehicle Weights, and use tare weights to obtain cargo weights. The Intercomp strip sensor WIM system provides weighing accuracy with an error of less than 2% with loaded vehicles. These systems and their performance comply with Honduran regulations regarding automated cargo weighing in terminals.

Page 10: Installation Notes
The Intercomp WIM system is less susceptible to poor road conditions like rutting. Strip sensors have been installed in asphalt with significant rutting yet can still exceed ASTM Type III or COST A(5) accuracy standards. Regular inspection of the road service should be made and rutting progression may require additional grinding of the sensors to match the road surface followed by recalibration. - Page 11 A/D signal processing and data communication for software or web applications Strip Sensors with WIMLogix Electronics Intercomp strip sensors connect to the WIMLOGIX module, which provides signal conditioning, data acquisition, and basic processing. The table below illustrates data and communication options for the WIMLogix modules.
