- Abstract:
- The new weigh-in-motion (WIM) system, presented in this paper, is able to give not only the load, but also an extension of the information supplied by traditional WIM technology, such as dimensions of the tire footprint. It has a smaller cross section in comparison with those of load cells and a better endurance comparing with piezoelectric sensors. The results obtained by Finite Elements Analysis (FEA) have been checked by calibration test, performed on a spring/elastic element made by aluminum alloy.
