Development of a PC-Based Eight-Channel Weigh-in-Motion System (Technical Summary)

Weigh-in-motion devices are designed to capture and record the weights of vehicles driving over a sensor, including the weight per axle for trucks. Unlike older static weigh stations, current WIM systems do not require the vehicles to stop, making these stations much more efficient. This type of weight monitoring is useful for an array of applications, including pavement design and research, bridge design and monitoring, and size/weight enforcement.
