Improvement of Weigh-in-Motion Accuracy by Taking into Account Vehicle Lateral Position

In this paper, the authors describe research on the effect of vehicle lateral position on road sensor weigh-in-motion (WIM) accuracy. The research was conducted by the Institut français des sciences et technologies des transports (IFSTTAR) and CETE de l'Est using piezoceramic strip sensors. The study examines refinement of the automated calibration process, introduces an off-centered vehicle sorting out method, and describes a signal processing method. Previous theoretical and lab studies are partially confirmed by the results, which the authors suggest could lead to a significant improvement in WIM accuracy by removing bias due to wheel lateral position.
