Weight in Motion (WIM) in Railways is an innovative technology of measuring the train load in the dynamicfeature. WIM is required for the monitoring of the railway tracks and the train wheels and thus help in controlling thenumber of trains and passengers on the train and the particular railway tracks. In this presented paper, we discuss thevarious types of WIM methods that are being used in the railways. The report briefly describes the principle, uses,advantages and demerits of various sensors. Next we discuss the progresses that have been done in the field of railwayWIM. Many researchers have developed different algorithm using different sensors, each having certain merits anddemerits. After analyzing the progress we discuss the need for the WIM, demerits of existing system and how we canovercome them. Next we discuss the model prepared and analysis done on it, to represent our result.
