CALIBRATION AND ADJUSTMENT OF WEIGH-IN-MOTION DATA

Several methods have been used for calibrating weigh-in-motion (WIM) systems. One difference between the methods is in the formula used to make the calibration. A systematic approach is taken here in deriving and comparing four calibration methods. Adjustments of WIM data beyond calibration may be used to more closely emulate the properties of static weight data, such as in equivalent axle load calculations. Several adjustments of WIM data are also derived. Examples are given of the various methods of calibrating and adjusting WIM data.
