车辆超载已被确定为马来西亚道路路面损坏的主要原因之一。在这项研究中，称重在运动（WIM）系统已被用来作为一个车辆重量分拣工具，以补充现有的静态称重桥执法站。从开发的系统中收集的数据被用来探索使用WIM系统在生成更准确的数据用于执法目的，同时提高安全性和减少道路上车辆重量违规的数量方面的有效性。本研究特别关注在一个发展中国家，车辆旁路和静态称重站执法能力对车辆称重执法系统整体有效性的影响。这项研究的结果表明，WIM系统将显着提高当前车辆重量执法的有效性和效率，从而产生大量的收入，这将大大抵消目前来自纳税人资金的道路维护预算。如果超载车辆大幅减少，公众仍将通过减少道路维护预算、减少重型卡车的事故风险和减少温室气体排放而受益。
Vehicle overloading has been identified as one of the major contributors to road pavement damage in Malaysia. In this study, the weigh-in-motion (WIM) system has been used to function as a vehicle weight sorting tool to complement the exsiting static weigh bridge enforcement station. Data collected from the developed system is used to explore the effectiveness of using WIM system in terms of generating more accurate data for enforcement purposes and at the same time improving safety and reducing the number of vehicle weight violations on the roads. This study specifically focus on the effect of vehicle by-pass and static weigh station enforcement capability on the overall effectiveness of vehicle weight enforcement system in a developing country. Results from this study suggest that the WIM system will significantly enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the current vehicle weight enforcement, thus generating substantial revenue that would greatly off-set the current road maintenance budget that comes from tax payers money. If there is substantial reduction in overloaded vehicles, the public will still gain through reduction in road maintenance budget, less accident risks involving heavy trucks, and lesser greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions.
