Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Installing permanent in-pavement weigh-in-motion (WIM) stations on local roads is very expensive and requires recurring costs of maintenance trips, electricity, and communication. For county roads with limited average daily traffic (ADT) volume, such a high cost of installation and maintenance is rarely justifiable. One solution to bring WIM technologies to local roads is to utilize a portable WIM system, much like pneumatic tube counters used in short-duration traffic counts. That is, a single unit is reused in multiple locations for few days at a time. This way, WIM data is obtained without the cost of permanent in-pavement WIM stations. This report describes the results of a two-year research project sponsored by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) to develop a portable WIM system that can be readily deployed on local roads. The objective of this project was to develop a portable WIM system that would be used much like a pneumatic tube counter. The developed system is battery operated, low cost, portable, and easily installable on both rigid and flexible pavements. The report includes a sideby- side comparison of data between the developed on-pavement portable WIM system and an in-pavement permanent WIM system.

Book excerpt: The Minnesota Local Road Research Board, MnDOT, and SRF performed an evaluation of a portable weigh-inmotion (WIM) system at several locations throughout Minnesota. The system was developed at the University of Minnesota-Duluth and offers roadway designers a low-cost method for obtaining vehicle load distribution data across the state's road network. To deploy the system, the weigh pads of the system were temporarily affixed sensors across the roadway lanes. As vehicles passed over the weigh pads, pressure sensors within the pads detected the weight of vehicles and the system recorded the data for later analysis. Traditional methods for travel monitoring generate traffic volume and classification data, but weigh-in-motion systems give designers a more accurate idea of current and projected traffic loading demands. SRF's testing provided implementation refinements that were incorporated into the system. During the two-year deployment process, the portable WIM system was installed under a wide array of environmental conditions to demonstrate the system's capabilities. Data generated by the system was analyzed. The Final Report details system deployment, calibration, and system accuracy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1987 a test was conducted of a high precision, low speed Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) system that could accurately weigh vehicle axles and be used for enforcement purposes at weight scale facilities. A complete prototype system was installed for testing and demonstration at Clavet, Saskatchewan. The system was checked against weights obtained from the static scale in use at the site over nine months. Two additional systems were installed in British Columbia and were monitored over five months, during which the system was subjected to a variety of hostile conditions. This report describes the technical development of the in-road hardware and the data acquisition electronics; the operational characteristics; prototype testing; and the B.C. sites and monitoring.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A state-of-the-art, Advanced Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) system has been designed, installed, and tested on the west bound side of Interstate I-75/I-40 near the Knox County Weigh Station. The project is a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) between Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and International Road Dynamics, Inc. (IRD) sponsored by the Office of Uranium Programs, Facility and Technology Management Division of the Department of Energy under CRADA No. ORNL95-0364. ORNL, IRD, the Federal Highway Administration, the Tennessee Department of Safety and the Tennessee Department of Transportation have developed a National High Speed WIM Test Facility for test and evaluation of high-speed WIM systems. The WIM system under evaluation includes a Single Load Cell WIM scale system supplied and installed by IRD. ORNL developed a stand-alone, custom data acquisition system, which acquires the raw signals from IRD's in-ground single load cell transducers. Under a separate contract with the Federal Highway Administration, ORNL designed and constructed a laboratory scale house for data collection, analysis and algorithm development. An initial advanced weight-determining algorithm has been developed. The new advanced WIM system provides improved accuracy and can reduce overall system variability by up to 30% over the existing high accuracy commercial WIM system.
