KeNHA has invited firms to bid for the tender for the installation of the installation hardware and software for the virtual weighbridges.
The agency’s push for more weighbridges comes at a time of increasing concern over road damage caused by overloaded trucks.
The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) is seeking to set up 26 virtual weighbridges across the country to enhance the monitoring of loads to minimise road damage.
KeNHA says the weighbridges will have piezo-electric Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) triple threshold type accuracy cameras, a system- including sensors and loops, scanners, Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras, overview cameras, and CCTV cameras.
