The invention relates to a WIM sensor for detecting loads of vehicles on a roadway segment when a wheel of a vehicle crosses the WIM sensor arranged flush with the roadway surface in the roadway segment. The WIM sensor is formed as an elongated profile along a longitudinal axis and defines a space therein. A force sensor configured to generate a force sensor signal corresponding to a dynamic ground reaction force when the wheel crosses the force sensor is arranged in the space. An electro-acoustic transducer is arranged in the space and configured to measure sound waves and accordingly generate a transducer signal.

WIM sensor comprising electro-acoustic transducers

The invention relates to an optical device for reducing speckle noise of laser light having a first optical element extending along an extension plane, and an actuator designed for moving the first optical element along the extension plane. The actuator is formed as a reluctance actuator that is designed to exert a reluctance force on the first optical element to move the first optical element along the extension plane.
