The 4.0 smart vehicle weighing station was created as a solution to address every shortcoming that traditional, manual weighing stations cannot fix.ợc.
“Vehicle weighing” is a tool that helps businesses calculate the load of heavy vehicles that need to travel on Vietnam’s roads. In addition, a weighing station system can provide accurate information on total vehicle weight, axle-by-axle loads, as well as license plate details, weighing time, and weighing location. However, traditional weighing stations still carry inherent shortcomings that cannot be remedied, and this has caused significant negative impacts on Vietnam’s transportation system and infrastructure.
The impact of overloaded vehicles on Vietnam’s transportation system
Vehicles traveling beyond permitted load limits do not merely violate the Road Traffic Law, but also create serious consequences that affect the entire system and transportation infrastructure in Vietnam.
According to the Government’s electronic newspaper, in 2024, the Road Administration was allocated VND 11,500 billion in budget estimates for road maintenance, distributed across 147 projects. This is an extremely large figure. It can be said that overloaded vehicle traffic is the main reason roads deteriorate quickly, creating major subsidence and posing danger to smaller vehicles on the road.

In addition, heavy vehicles such as trucks and containers, which are already difficult to control under normal conditions, become even more dangerous when carrying loads beyond permitted limits, as safety cannot be ensured in emergency situations.
According to statistics from competent authorities, the number of accidents caused by collisions involving heavy vehicles ranks second, only after cars and passenger buses. For this reason, businesses need to be stricter in load control and implement measures to ensure compliance with load regulations for heavy vehicles, contributing to traffic safety and order in the area.
Benefits of 4.0 smart vehicle weighing stations for Vietnam’s transportation system
Traditional, manual load control methods used by businesses such as manual data entry, handwritten logs, and manual report extraction are no longer suitable for today’s conditions. With a large number of vehicles moving in and out every day, statistical errors are unavoidable. Therefore, the 4.0 smart vehicle weighing station solution was developed to help businesses automate control systems, optimize processes, and allocate vehicles more effectively.
Overloaded vehicle traffic is reduced
Automatic and intelligent load control helps businesses comply more easily with Road Traffic Law safety regulations. Businesses can control, adjust, and coordinate overloaded vehicles appropriately so they can operate on Vietnam’s roads without negatively affecting infrastructure and other road users.

In addition, smart vehicle weighing stations installed by the Nation can easily monitor vehicle volumes and daily load tonnage, as well as quickly apply penalties to violating businesses, enforcing and implementing Decree 168 more effectively. This helps significantly reduce attempts to evade regulations and restore traffic order for enterprises.
Congestion at key points is limited
On certain routes, vehicle weighing stations are installed so the Nation and the Traffic Police Department can control vehicle volume and load tonnage passing through within a given period. However, traditional weighing stations take considerable time for each measurement, while smart weighing stations can capture data even when vehicles are traveling at high speed. This ensures continuous traffic flow and prevents congestion as in the past.

Infrastructure repair costs are saved
Before routes are planned and built, maximum load capacity is carefully calculated based on expected traffic volumes. Therefore, ensuring heavy vehicles carry only permitted loads helps preserve infrastructure, saving a large portion of repair and maintenance costs.
Traffic accidents are reduced
Driving within permitted load limits allows heavy transport vehicles to move more smoothly and helps drivers respond more effectively in unexpected situations. However, heavy vehicle drivers should still remain cautious while on the road to ensure safety for themselves and others.
NLT Group’s 4.0 smart vehicle weighing station solution
Understanding the benefits of truck weighing stations for businesses and the Government, NLT Group has pioneered research and development of smart vehicle weighing solutions with the goal of supporting urban development. Using IoT, AI, and GIS Cloud technologies integrated with software solutions developed by NLT Group, along with equipment that meets international OIML standards, we have built a comprehensive weighing station system with high accuracy and outstanding features.
Automation and smart operation
The weighing station is designed to operate automatically through software without any manual intervention. From weighing loads and capturing license plates to storing data, everything is handled smoothly by the system 24/7, optimizing operational efficiency, reducing labor costs, and minimizing human resource demands.
High accuracy and reliability
Equipped with sensor systems that meet international OIML standards, the weighing station can measure loads accurately in different environments, even under harsh conditions. This makes load control and management more stringent and contributes to protecting Vietnam’s road transportation infrastructure.

Integration of multiple weighing modes
NLT Group’s smart weighing solution supports both static and dynamic weighing, ensuring it fits different usage needs and multiple vehicle types. In particular, the dynamic weighing system allows accurate measurement of vehicle loads while moving at speeds of up to 120 km/h without stopping, saving time for drivers and management authorities.
Conclusion
The 4.0 smart vehicle weighing station is an advanced technology solution that should be widely applied in enterprise operations as well as modern transportation management systems, thanks to its superior features and significant benefits for road transportation. Moreover, remote control and management save substantial operating costs and time, enabling enterprises to proactively develop while helping the State optimize load control and management processes.
