Q-Free’s Oliver Bain, Managing Director of Q-Free UK, is featured in the November-December 2024 issue of ITS International. In this article, Oliver discusses the growing role of Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) technology in improving road safety, infrastructure preservation, and cost reduction.

He emphasizes the increasing accuracy and accessibility of WIM data, highlighting how it is helping road authorities enforce weight restrictions and optimize maintenance strategies. Oliver also notes the expanding collaboration between the private sector and public authorities, a key driver behind the technology’s widespread adoption and its evolving capabilities. As WIM systems become more sophisticated, the integration of real-time data into decision-making processes is allowing for smarter enforcement, which helps reduce road damage caused by overloaded vehicles and enhances safety across transport networks.

Additionally, Oliver touches on the future of WIM systems, including their potential for use in high-speed enforcement and bridge monitoring, providing a broader perspective on how these systems can reshape road infrastructure management in the years to come.
