Abstract

The paper presents a new high-speed weigh-in-motion (WIM) sensor for heavy vehicles, designed (using FEA) in order to have more data, as following: dimensions and area of the tire footprint, identification of the type of tire wheel (single tire wheel or twin wheels) etc. A comparison between actual WIM sensors and the proposed sensor are also presented.
