The aim of this research is to investigate the feasibility of developing a traffic load detector system for the purpose of accurate weighing vehicle to aid traffic management systems. The possibility of estimate the velocity, axle and gross weight of a moving vehicle from the surface of pavement tensile strain is investigated. The objective is to develop weigh-in-motion (WIM) technique to estimate the vehicle weight from the pavement responses with fewer disturbances to the vehicle’s vibration and traveling speed, and to provide more reliable and durable WIM systems and sensors. The repeatability, sources of error, and accuracy of weight prediction were discussed.
