- Abstract:
- The present paper shows the advantages and disadvantages of road vehicles weighing. By considering the use of Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) instruments and applying the Monte Carlo`s simulation method, it is possible to demonstrate some factors that actually interfere in the measurement process of road vehicles weighing. This process is one contribution to metrology for the sustainable development, as long as it collaborates for the maintenance, life time and security of the highways.
