A NEW METHOD FOR ACCURATELY ESTIMATING THE WEIGHT OF MOVING VEHICLES USING PIEZOELECTRIC SENSORS AND ADAPTIVE-FOOTPRINT TIRE MODEL

In this paper, the authors describe a new method for estimating the axle weight of a moving vehicle. It uses two piezoelectric sensors and an adaptive-footprint tire model. The method is less sensitive to variable factors that influence the axle weight of a moving vehicle. Results from experiments indicate that the developed method, when compared to two other algorithms, is more consistent and accurate.
