Development and Testing of a Railway Bridge Weigh-in-Motion System

Applied Sciences, 2020
This study describes the development and testing of a railway bridge weigh-in-motion (RB-WIM) system. The traditional bridge WIM (B-WIM) system developed for road bridges was extended here to calculate the weights of railway carriages.

Effectiveness of vehicle weight enforcement in a developing country using weigh-in-motion sorting system considering vehicle by-pass and enforcement capability

IATSS Research, 2014
Vehicle overloading has been identified as one of the major contributors to road pavement damage in Malaysia. In this study, the weigh-in-motion (WIM) system has been used to function as a vehicle weight sorting tool to complement the exsiting static ...

An estimation method for pavement weigh-in-motion system with preliminary experiment

Mechanical Engineering Journal, 2020
Accurately and reliably measuring the gross weight and static load of the axles of moving vehicles, especially trucks, is important for preventing road damage and improving traffic safety and monitoring efficiency. This type of vehicle weight measurement

Weigh-in-Motion Systems Review: Methods for Axle and Gross Vehicle Weight Estimation

IEEE Access
Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) systems dynamically measure vehicle weight, eliminating the need for vehicle stoppage on static scales. These systems are the most convenient way to identify overweight vehicles, one of the main causes of pavement damage.

Hunting for Hollanders: The community responsibility system, trade sanctions, and public debt in the late‐medieval Low Countries

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract To persuade creditors to lend, cities in the Low Countries relied on a community responsibility system that made all citizens personally liable for public debt. This exposed itinerant citizens to significant risks: their merchandise could be confiscated by creditors, and they could even be imprisoned for debt.

Detection of Moving Load on Pavement Using Piezoelectric Sensors

Sensors, 2020
More and more researches have been carried out recently on Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) technology for solving the traffic safety problems caused by overload. In this article, we aim to study the measurement accuracy of the WIM system.

Low breeding propensity in a declining Arctic‐breeding swan revealed by telemetry data

Ibis, EarlyView.
Many migratory bird populations are declining in the face of habitat degradation and climate change, making it important to identify which stages of their annual cycle are most affected in order to guide conservation measures. The Bewick's Swan Cygnus columbianus bewickii, an Arctic‐breeding waterfowl species, has suffered a dramatic population decline

A Non-parametric Bayesian Network for multivariate probabilistic modelling of Weigh-in-Motion System Data

Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives, 2022
Weigh-in-motion (WIM) systems help to collect data such as vehicular loads, individual axle loads, vehicle type, and number of axles. This is relevant in engineering because traffic load performs an essential function in the design of new bridges and in ...

Evaluating the Predictive Value of Estimated Breeding Values of Piétrain Sires for Uniformity and Survival in Their Crossbred Progeny

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT High litter sizes in pigs are associated with lower birth weights and increased within‐litter variation, which poses challenges to pig farming. Improving piglet uniformity and survival via genetic selection of terminal boars could be a strategy to enhance these traits.
