DYNAMIC WEIGHING OF MOTOR VEHICLE AXLES

One of the necessary inputs for designing new highways or overlays to existing pavements is accurate axle load data of traffic which they will carry. The use of dynamic weighing to obtain this information, and the accuracy that can be expected, is described. A number of available dynamic weighing equipments are briefly reviewed. The accuracy of one system is discussed, and some possible improvements are proposed. (a). This paper was presented at the 2nd conference on asphalt pavements for Southern Africa, Durban, 29th July-2nd August, 1974. See also IRRD Abstracts Nos. 216602-216619. /TRRL/
