TY - JOUR PY - 1992// TI - High-speed weigh-in-motion systems and applications JO - Proceedings: International Technical Conference on the Enhanced Safety of Vehicles A1 - Dalgleish, M.j. A1 - Mole, A.d. A1 - Mills, P.a. SP - 377 EP - 380 VL - 1992 IS - N2 - This article lists the various applications for weigh-in-motion (WIM) systems and briefly reviews the various different types available. The types include: a) bridge systems (load cell or strain gauge); b) bending plate weighpads; capacitive pad systems; c) piezo cable systems; d) capacitive system strip. The performance capabilities for temporary and/or permanent application are reviewed briefly. Details about typical installation procedures, site selection, system calibration and factors affecting performance are also presented. An example of test results obtained using a high speed WIM system at Ross on Wye are provided. Vehicle axle and gross weight readings were recorded at this site and compared with those obtained at a static weighbridge located just upstream from it. The results show a standard deviation of 6% and an Average Impact Factor of -4% for the gross weights for vehicles tested at random whilst the results for the known weight test vehicle resulted in a 4% standard deviation.
