A Proposed Method Of Calibration And Correlation Of Weigh-In-Motion Systems, David L. Allen, Jerry G. Pigman
Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report
There are various types of weigh-in-motion systems currently in use by agencies that collect weight data. These include load cells, bending plate, capacitance pads, piezoelectric cables, and bridge WIM's. The response and behavior of these systems differs from one type to another. Most states calibrate these systems by one of two methods. The first is to calibrate by running a truck or trucks of known weights across the scales a number of times. The second is to use a sample of trucks from the traffic stream.
This report details a field calibration and correlation test site between a slow-speed WIM …
