  The Operation and Management of Weighbridges System   In order to effectively regulate overloading in the EAC Partner States, a coordinated approach to a multitude of issues relating to weighbridge system operation and management is required. These elements include: • Weighbridge type and characteristics;  • Weighbridge location on regional road network;  • Weighbridge management;  • Weighbridge operations and procedures;  • Personnel involved in overload control procedures;   • Weighbridge verification and calibration Purpose and Scope The goal of this chapter is to propose a unified strategy to weighbridge operation and management in the EAC region, based on regional (SADC/COMESA) and international best practices. The ultimate goal is to achieve efficient and effective overload control in the EAC region as a foundation for decreasing accelerated road network depreciation and, as a result, lowering total transportation costs.

  A yard management system (YMS) is a software application or solution that monitors the movement of trucks and trailers in a manufacturing facility, warehouse, or distribution canter’s yard. Gate control, dock control, and container control are all common features of a yard management system. The hierarchical tiers are built and maintained to support yard management of varying degrees of complexity. A distribution or warehouse yard's yard management processes. The yard management system must communicate with the gate, dock, and container yard management system in real-time. Algorithms that put away or pick up containers are part of container management procedures. Dock allocation algorithms must be established in accordance with yard management goals because dock allocation is so crucial in yard management systems. Dock allocation algorithm Because dock allocation has a significant impact on the efficiency of a yard management system, the majority of work in a transport distrib...
