An automated weigh-in-motion station has been installed on the KAZ06 Karabutak–Kyzylorda–Shymkent highway to monitor the weight and dimensions of trucks without requiring them to stop, Qazinform News Agency reports, citing QazAvtoJol. According to QazAvtoJol, the system is designed to automatically measure the weight and dimensions of heavy vehicles while they are in motion.
It records a vehicle's gross weight, axle loads, dimensions and other required parameters in real time. "The introduction of the automated station will improve enforcement of weight regulations, help prevent premature road surface deterioration and extend the service life of national highways," QazAvtoJol said.
Earlier, Qazinform News Agency reported that Kazakhstan and Russia had agreed to advance the digitalization of trade and logistics.
