Autonomous Truck Scales Description
There is already considerable investment into safety testing, development, and validation of automated driving systems. Because vehicle weights have a dramatic effect on steering, maneuverability, braking and acceleration, weight and balance procedures are a critical part of any program.
At Intercomp, we manufacture accurate weighing and measurement solutions for autonomous vehicle advancement. Our Portable, In-Ground, and Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) based truck scales aid in the research and development efforts of the Autonomous Trucking industry. If you have specific questions regarding our Portable, In-Ground, or WIM scale options get in touch with us for more information regarding your specific self-driving truck scale requirements.

LTR788™ Scale for Autonomous Trucks
The LTR788™ Dual Wheel Load Scale was created for direct measurement of individual tire loading in a dual-tire configuration. The LTR788™ enables the identification of unequal weight distribution within a dual wheel. Tire loading and tire conditions impact fuel economy and braking distance, which are critical components of research and development in autonomous vehicles.
Incorporating fully electronic load cells, the portable LTR788™ dual tire truck scales use technology that actively compensates for temperature, resulting in fast, stable and repeatable weighing. Additional LTR788™ Portable Scale benefits include:
- Display Individual Wheel Weights within Dual Tire Configurations
- 26-inch Wide Platform for Dual Tires
- Total Scale Capacity of 30,000 lb (15,000 kg); 15,000 lb (6,800 kg) Per Pad
- In-scale Solar Charging Decreases Reliance on Batteries

LS-WIM® Scales for Autonomous Trucks
Intercomp’s in-ground WIM systems track and display individual axle weights in addition to gross vehicle weight (GVW). With a full-length truck scale, this data is hard to collect. Since the truck doesn’t have to come to a complete stop for accurate weighing, traffic is able to keep moving, increasing efficiency and decreasing costs. The smaller weighbridge of the WIM system also requires less effort and time to install and maintain.
Capture vehicle weight dynamically at a permanent facility:
- Small installation and operational footprint compared to full-length truck scale
- 1-2% dynamic accuracy at low speeds
- Static Accuracy ±0.1%
- Available components combine into standalone system
- Integration into existing gate systems, if applicable
- Capture individual axle and total vehicle weight
- Available in capacities up to 100,000 lb (45,000 kg)

LS630-WIM™ Scales for Self-Driving Trucks
Portable WIM is a hybrid system that brings together our experience in both WIM technology and our long history of developing innovative portable truck scales. Our
WIM portable scales are ideal for lower traffic facilities that may have entrance and exit points that regularly change. When compared with in-ground traditional static weight scales, our Portable WIM Freight Terminal Scales have a lower upfront cost of ownership and lower operational costs.
- System includes two scales, roll-up ramps and indicator
- Portable WIM Scales can operate in dynamic or static mode
- Deployable in less than 15 minutes
- Capture individual axle and total vehicle weight
- 2-3% dynamic accuracy, ±0.5% static accuracy
- Push-button conversion to static mode
- RFX®; Wireless Weighing with cable backup
- 60,000 lb (30,000 kg) individual axle capacity

App Notes for Autonomous Truck Scales
Portable WIM Scales for Autonomous Trucks
Portable WIM scales allow for
temporary weighing sites to be set up wherever they are needed and increase efficiency and throughput of collecting vehicle weights. Due to its portability, certified accuracy, and versatility of operation in WIM and static modes, the LS630-WIM™ Portable Weigh-In-Motion scale system is used worldwide for portable weighing operations. The following applications reflect the use potential of Intercomp’s Portable Weigh-In-Motion Scales.
LS-WIM™ Axle Scales for Autonomous Trucks
Intercomp Low-Speed Weigh-In-Motion (LS-WIM®) Axle Scales provide accurate dynamic weighing across many applications throughout the world. The performance, reliability and longevity of Intercomp’s LS-WIM® Axle Scales provide an excellent return on investment for precision WIM technology.
Dual Wheel Load Scales for Autonomous Trucks
The LTR788™ Dual Wheel Load Scale was created for direct measurement of individual tire loading in a dual-tire configuration. Until now, there was no method to accurately weigh the tires individuallly, with the current procedure being to weigh both tires and divide by two. Tire loading and tire conditions impact fuel economy and braking distance, and tire failure can lead to accidents and debris on roads.
