DYNAMIC AXLE AND VEHICLE WEIGHT MEASUREMENTS. SECOND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ROAD TRAFFIC MONITORING

A trial of high speed weigh-in-motion (WIM) equipment was conducted by the transport and Road Research Laboratory in February 1987. This trial provided information on the measurement accuracy of several commercial and research equipments for a range of axle weights and heavy goods vehicle categories. The paper reports the trial and provides summarized results obtained from the five research and commercial organisations that took part. Brief descriptions are given of the equipment, calibration procedures, environmental conditions and data analysis methods. The trial provided results from a total of five heavy goods vehicles (two rigid and three articulated), at speeds between 16 and 80 kph (10 and 50 mph). Total vehicle loads varied between 9920 and 37640 kg (21874 and 82996 lbs). Over 4000 axle weight measurements were made by each set of weigh-in-motion equipment. Author/TRRL)
