Smart Enforcement of Transport Operations (SETO) is a Horizons Europe project that supports digital transformation in transportation, including access to data of interest to regulators. The goal is to provide authorities with access to relevant data so that enforcement activities become more efficient for both the enforcer and the transporter. The concept is multi-modal and includes the design of an on-board unit for ships, like what is already available for trucks, which will store data about the skipper, journey, e-documents, etc.. This innovation will be tested in a Living Lab in Belgium. For roads, a key element in the enforcement process is the vehicle weight and technologies which allow for on-board vehicle self-weighing. This paper presents the concept of an on-board tamper-proof vehicle weighing solution. Truck axles are equipped with accelerometers whose signals are indirectly affected by the road profile and the vehicle weight. If the vehicle properties, including weight, are known, the road profile can be calculated. As many trucks pass over the same profile, it is possible to compare calculated profiles and to use this to back-calculate each vehicle weight. As the road profile is part of the calculation, it is difficult for any driver to tamper with the vehicle self-weighing system.
