1 INSTRUMENT NAME AND DESCRIPTION

iWIM is a weighing instrument designed for determining the total weight (gross vehicle weight) of road vehicles.

1.1 Essential parts

Light sources:

Any light source (standalone or integrated into the interrogator) (SLED/ASE) with following requirements:

  • Optical power: > 1mW

  • Band: covering FBG wavelength +/- 2nm

  • Band flatness: < 6dB

Interrogator:

The spectrometer is used. For more details see documentation folder 0511-UL-W107-23.

PC:

x86-64 or compatible PC, with USB 2.0 or better, 8GB RAM, Linux OS

Power supply:

The interrogator is powered up by the PC USB port.

1.2 Weighing area

The installation site must feature a stable, non-deformable apron (concrete, asphalt, or similar) extending upstream and downstream of the weighing platform, with a length of at least 20 m upstream and 15 m downstream. The plates can be installed in a staggered or in-line arrangement. The surface must be rectilinear and coplanar with the weighing platform. There must be no bumps, steps, or offsets between the road pavement and the load receptor. The longitudinal slope must be negligible in any case less than 4%, while the transverse slope should be minimized to strictly what is needed for drainage.

1.4 Principle of operation

The optical signal is generated by sensors located under the weighing plate and transmitted via optical fiber to a specific optical interrogator. Optional passive optical elements such as circulators, splitters, or attenuators could be used.

The interrogator and the computation PC are housed together in a sealed, tamper-proof box. Inside, legally relevant software processes and calculates the weight data. To ensure the authenticity of the data sent to optional interoperable devices (e.g., remote displays, tablets, printers, or the cloud), the software applies a digital signature to the output. This guarantees data integrity regardless of the transmission channel, making a physical primary display on the datalogger non-mandatory, as it can be effectively replaced by a secure virtual or remote display. Furthermore, thanks to the digital signature applied to metrologically relevant data, extra functionalities (which are not metrologically relevant) can safely operate on the same PC, as the signature guarantees that the critical measurement data remains unaltered and uncompromised.

Table 1: iWIM metrological characteristics

When instrument is installed in a region where temperatures in cabinet could be lower than $ - 1 0^{\circ} \mathrm{C} $ , it's prescribed to install heating, alternatively the system stops working. The weighing range for the total vehicle weight (Gross vehicle weight - GVW) is determined as the product of the weighing range of one axle and the maximum number of weighable axles $ \left( \mathrm{A}_{\mathrm{m a x}} \right) $ .

$$ \mathrm {M a x} _ {\mathrm {G V W}} = \mathrm {M a x} _ {\mathrm {a x l e}} * \mathrm {A} _ {\max } $$

3 SOFTWARE

The legally relevant software of the scales and its security meet the requirements of the WELMEC 7.2:2023 software guide.

The legally relevant software is monolithic C++ architecture running on a secure Linux operating system. The integrity of this element is guaranteed by checking its checksum SHA-256 hash.

The core metrological integrity is maintained through a combination of Physical Sealing (tamper-evident labels on the Datalogger Box) and Electronic Sealing (SHA-256 software signatures and blockchain-linked audit trails).

The metrological integrity of each record is guaranteed by digital signing of each record, preventing any data corruption and/or intentional manipulation.

4 VERIFICATION AND SECURING OF THE WEIGHING INSTRUMENT

The metrological tests must be carried out according to national applicable regulations.

4.1 Securing components and verification marks

All hardware components are protected with anti-tamper stickers. Figures 5 a,b,c show the positions of the 6 seals (2 on front screws, 4 on side corners) on the Datalogger Box.
