THE NEXT GENERATION OF BRIDGE WEIGH-IN-MOTION SYSTEMS

The European research project WAVE dealt, among others, with improvement of bridge WIM systems, which, despite being around for 20 years, haven't attracted users as could have been expected due to their features. WAVE partners developed or elaborated several algorithms to extend the selection of the appropriate bridges for B-WIM measurements and to increase accuracy of the results and durability of the systems, above all by introducing the Free-of-Axle detector system, where all data is acquired from sensors underneath the bridge. The paper presents the main outcomes of the WAVE and further developments after its conclusion, gives some illustrative examples and discusses problems to be solved.
