    摘要: A WIM system includes a WIM sensor that is arranged in a lane of a roadway flush with a roadway surface. The lane has a direction of travel for vehicles. The WIM sensor is of long design along a longitudinal axis with a length. The WIM sensor has a plurality of measurement zones Mi spaced apart from one another along the longitudinal axis. Each measurement zone Mi is set up to individually determine a force Fi exerted on the WIM sensor. The longitudinal axis forms an alignment angle with the direction of travel such that a wheel of a vehicle passing over the WIM sensor along the direction of travel can be detected as measurement signals Si, Sj, Sk by at least three adjacent measurement zones Mi, Mj, Mk.

    摘要: A hydraulic jack having a piston, configured to lift at least a portion of a vehicle or trailer, and a housing, where the housing includes a high pressure fluid chamber configured to receive at least a portion of the piston, and where increasing fluid pressure within the high pressure chamber moves the piston further out of the housing. The hydraulic jack also includes a weight gauge attached to the housing and in fluid communication with the high pressure fluid chamber, wherein the weight gauge is configured and calibrated to measure and display the weight of the vehicle or trailer being lifted by the piston.

    摘要: A modular pavement slab comprises a body, a strain sensor array, and a sensor processor. The body includes a top surface, a bottom surface, and four side surfaces. The modular pavement slab is configured to be coupled to at least one other modular pavement slab via connectors along at least one of the side surfaces. The strain sensor array is retained within the body and is configured to detect a plurality of strains on the body resulting from vehicular traffic across the top surface of the body. The sensor processor is in communication with the strain sensor array. The sensor processor is configured to communicate input signals to the strain sensor array, receive output signals from the strain sensor array, and determine a plurality of time-varying strain values, each strain value indicating a strain experienced over time by a successive one of a plurality of regions of the body.

    摘要: A cast load cell comprising a load sensing portion integrally cast with a first mounting portion. The load sensing portion has a flexure portion spaced apart from the first mounting portion by a flexure gap. The load sensing portion has at least one sensor cavity above at least a portion of the flexure gap. A second mounting portion is integrally cast with the load sensing portion above the flexure gap. A load sensor is connected to the load sensor portion and positioned within the sensor cavity above a portion of the flexure gap. The first mounting portion, the load sensing portion, and the second mounting portion define an integral, low-profile, weld-free, substantially homogenous unitary cast member.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a device for determining a weight of a vehicle, the device being configured to: obtain a set of weights derived from in-motion weighing of the vehicle on a weighing bridge, wherein each weight in the set of weights represents one or more axle weights of the vehicle; select one or more weights in the set of weights such that the one or more selected weights together represent all axles of the vehicle and each axle of the vehicle is only represented once; determine a total weight of the vehicle based on the one or more selected weights. Furthermore, the invention also relates to a system and corresponding methods.

    摘要: A towing configuration of a vehicle coupled to a trailer may be evaluated by rolling a tire of the coupled vehicle and trailer over a compressible region of a pressure vessel filled with a hydraulic fluid. A peak pressure of the hydraulic fluid as the tire rolls over the compressible region of the pressure vessel may be determined. The tire load may be determined based upon the peak pressure. Based at least in part on the tire load, a determination may be made whether the towing configuration satisfies a predetermined set of criteria.
