The problem: information limitation
Many infrastructure maintainers struggle with unreliable vehicle weight measurements and bridge condition information, leading to wasted budgets and missed renovation opportunities. Annual inspections of the highest priority bridges are costly and too infrequent for responsive interventions, resulting in suboptimal (over/under restricted) usage.
Given replacement and repair budget constraints, strategic prioritization, ideally informed by real-time Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) data, is critical.
There are over 623,000 bridges across the United States. As of January 2025, approximately 42,300 (6.8%) are classified as being in poor condition. According to the Federal Highway Administration (2023), the estimated cost to replace these poor-condition bridges is $69.7 billion, while rehabilitation would cost $47.4 billion.
About 35% of bridges in Europe are over 100 years old, whilst most of the rest were built during the rapid infrastructure expansion of the mid-20th century.
We understand that accurate data is crucial for decisions on budgets, renovations, and to keep our transport systems safe and operational.
We work together toward a shared commitment to the future of infrastructure through:
Bridge reliability
Ensuring structural safety through continuous condition monitoring and assessment.
Accurate traffic insights
Delivering precise, real-time axle load and traffic data for operational and regulatory needs.
Digitalization of infrastructure
Modernizing traditional inspection methods with cutting-edge sensor systems and analytics.
Data-driven decisions
Supporting maintenance, budgeting, and renovation planning with actionable information.

AI-assisted Bridge Weigh-in-Motion
Enhance your current infrastructure management with our AI-assisted Bridge Weigh-in-Motion system (B-WIM). B-WIM monitors vehicle loads without causing bottlenecks or delays, eliminating any congestion associated with traditional weigh stations. The sensors comprising the measurement system are mounted directly on the bridge’s supporting structure (not on the roadway) so their installation and maintenance do not disrupt traffic with road closures or detours. Use on bridges limits or eliminates illegal bypassing. Delivers real-time vehicle weight measurements with Class A accuracy, as defined by COST 323. Thanks to the use of artificial intelligence, the accuracy of each system improves over time. Further, due to their placement, our sensors are significantly less susceptible to measurement distortions resulting from environmental factors (e.g., temperature, rutting). Our team provides expert guidance on optimizing sensor arrangements into your bridge. These factors also enhance traffic safety by eliminating the need for trucks to change lanes, exit, and merge traffic. A monthly or annual fee covers implementation, operation, monitoring, reporting, maintenance, and enhancements.
Digital Twin
Unlock the full potential of your infrastructure with our Digital Twin service. By creating a virtual replica of your bridge, we provide an unparalleled view of its performance and condition over time. This package utilizes advanced AI algorithms to simulate various scenarios, allowing you to predict maintenance needs and optimize decision-making. With our Digital Twin, you gain invaluable insights that enhance safety and reduce long-term costs, making it an essential tool for modern infrastructure management.
