Vehicle overloading has a negative impact on infrastructure and road maintenance, drastically reducing the useful life of roads and increasing the maintenance work required for their upkeep.

In addition, it negatively affects circulation and road safety, altering the vehicle braking distance, the response of electronic safety systems or the alteration in the gravity and aerodynamic points, posing a risk to any road user in the vicinity of that vehicle.

We present an intercontinental project carried out for the Ministry of Transportation and Road Safety of Chad, a country located in the central part of Africa with more than 33,000 kilometers of roads along the more than 1,284,000 km2 that make up the country's territory.

The solution acquired by the Ministry of Transport and Road Safety of Chad was our Gesdyn software, created specifically for the management of dynamic weighing and gauging stations, allowing the pre-selection of vehicles, overload penalties or the generation of traffic statistics, among other options.

In addition, these stations are equipped with the Datalogger B615, a new generation device capable of collecting, storing and sharing data between different associated devices, and automation accessories such as ANPR cameras, CCTV, traffic lights, weight repeaters and gauge control.

To complete the installation, the Chadian Ministry of Transport and Road Safety has several of our BPPEM axle-weighing scales, OIML R134 certified and with different measuring capacities up to 40Tn. It is an ideal model for use in low speed weigh stations or toll systems with weighing included thanks to its compact structure and its high adaptability to both static and moving checkweighing systems.

At Giropes we are ready to satisfy the most demanding needs of our customers, and undoubtedly, providing the highest reliability in the management of traffic weighing and road safety is a challenge which we are pleased to use our technology.
