REMOVE: Requirements for Enforcement of Overloaded Vehicles in Europe

Road transport of goods by overloaded trucks creates a number of serious problems on Europe's road network. These include unfair competition, safety, mobility and last but not least the considerable extra costs for additional maintenance/repair of the roads. After finishing previous EU projects that had mainly been focusing on the technological side of WIM, it was recognized, that these projects would need a follow up, that would focus more on the implementation WIM-systems within the EU. That is why the REMOVE project was initiated. The name 'REMOVE' stands for Requirements for EnforceMent of Overloaded Vehicles in Europe. The proposal for the REMOVE project is submitted to DGTREN as part of the Call for Proposals for a Grand Application Transport 2003. At this moment the contract for the project is in the last stages of being signed.
