This paper provides a review of recent European developments in WIM. Pan-European and national projects are reported plus developments in sensor technologies and system design. Recent developments in multiple-sensor WIM ...
This is the second part of a two-part paper which addresses the issue of accuracy in weigh-in-motion (WIM) systems. The first part develops the statistical background necessary for any system of accuracy classification ...
Systems for weighing vehicles while they are in motion are in widespread use in many countries. The accuracy of these weigh-in-motion (WIM) systems is strongly influenced by the road profile and vehicle dynamics. Systems ...
This paper describes an experiment in which 2 independently developed bridge weigh-in-motion (WIM) systems are tested and compared, both for accuracy and durability. The systems, an Irish prototype still under development ...
In this paper, truck weigh-in-motion (WIM) data are used to develop live load factors for use on Alabama state-owned bridges. The factors are calibrated using the same statistical methods that were used in the original ...
WAVE (Weigh-in-motion of Axles and Vehicles for Europe) is a research
project, part-funded by the European Commission, with the objective of improving the
accuracy and performance of Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) technology. It ...
Bridge Weigh-In-Motion systems measure bridge strain caused by the passing of a truck
to estimate static axle weights. For this calculation, they commonly use a static
algorithm that takes the bridge influence line as ...
To predict characteristic extreme traffic load effects, simulations are sometimes performed of bridge loading events. To generalize the truck weight data, statistical distributions are fitted to histograms of weight ...
The results of an experimental road research project are presented which demonstrate the existence of spatial repeatability and show patterns of axle impact forces along a pavement. As part of the project, a section of ...
Traffic loading crossing a bridge is simulated to analyse the correlation between the worst static
and dynamic load case. The worst static cases are obtained through a Monte-Carlo simulation
using weigh-in-motion (WIM) ...
