Weighing Trucks-in-Motion Using Instrumented Highway Bridges

F. Moses / M. Ghosn

An in-motion weighing system is described. It used instrumented highway bridge girders to act as equivalent static scales to obtain truck gross and axle weights, dimensions and speed. The weighing equipment is portable and easy to install. The weighing operation is undetected by passing trucks so an unbiased sample is obtained. A weighing system has been built and transferred to ODOT as part of this project.
