Abstract

It is the basic characteristics of bridge weigh-in-motion technology to directly identify the vehicle weight based on the bridge dynamic response. At present, bridge weigh-in-motion technology tends to be mature in identification of gross vehicle weighing, but there is no breakthrough in identification of single-axle weighing. Therefore, a new axle-weight identification method is proposed using bridge weigh-in-motion technology in this article, in which the idea of bridge weigh-in-motion technology is introduced first. The numerical expression of the single-axle weight and the identification expression of axle space and vehicle speed are presented thereafter. Furthermore, the accuracy of the presented method is further reinforced through a series of practical model experiments of simply supported and continuous beam. The experimental result indicated that the proposed method is feasible in practical application.
