PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS FOR COMBINING WEIGH-IN-MOTION WITH AUTOMATIC NUMBER PLATE RECOGNITION

A major scheme involving strengthening the Avonmouth Bridge in the west of England is being carried out whilst the traffic is still running on the bridge. Continual vehicle weight monitoring is required to ensure the effectiveness of the strengthening work. The method chosen combines weigh-in-motion technology with an automatic number plate recognition system. The equipment involved and the operation of the system are described. A number of other applications are suggested for the method. For the covering abstract see IRRD 880251.
