1、Designation: E 1318 02Standard Specification forHighway Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) Systems with UserRequirements and Test Methods1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E 1318; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision

2、, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 Weigh-In-MotionThis specification describes Weigh-In-Motion (WIM), the process of measuring the dynamic

3、 tireforces of a moving vehicle and estimating the correspondingtire loads of the static vehicle. Gross-vehicle weight of ahighway vehicle is due only to the local force of gravity actingupon the composite mass of all connected vehicle components,and is distributed among the tires of the vehicle thr

4、oughconnectors such as springs, motion dampers, and hinges.Highway WIM systems are capable of estimating the grossweight of a vehicle as well as the portion of this weight, calledload in this specification, that is carried by the tires of eachwheel assembly, axle, and axle group on the vehicle.1.2 O

5、ther Traffc DataAncillary traffic data concerningthe speed, lane of operation, date and time of passage, numberand spacing of axles, and classification (according to axlearrangement) of each vehicle that is weighed in motion isdesired for certain purposes. It is feasible for a WIM system tomeasure o

6、r calculate these traffic parameters and to process,summarize, store, display, record, hard-copy, and transmit theresulting data. Furthermore, differences in measured or calcu-lated parameters as compared with selected control criteria canbe detected and indicated to aid enforcement. In addition tot

7、ire-load information, a WIM system is capable of producingall, or specified portions of, these traffic data.1.3 Standard SpecificationHighway WIM systems gener-ally have three applications: collecting statistical traffic data,aiding enforcement, and enforcement. This specification clas-sifies four t

8、ypes of WIM systems according to their applicationand details their respective functional, performance, and userrequirements. It is a performance-type (end product-type)specification. Exceptions and options to the specification maybe included in any specification prepared by the user as part ofthe p

9、rocurement process for WIM equipment or services, andvendors may offer exceptions and options in responding to aninvitation to bid.1.4 UnitsThe values stated in inch-pound units are to beregarded as standard. The values given in parentheses aremathematical conversions to SI units2which are provided

10、forinformation only and are not considered standard.1.5 The following precautionary caveat applies only to thetest method portion, Section 7, of this specification. Thisstandard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the us
