Abstract :
Weighing objects in motion poses problems which are quite distinct from those encountered in static weighing. Until recently no serious attempt had been made to tackle these problems. The paper discusses the weighing errors caused by the motion of the object being weighed. Methods of reducing these errors are described and an assessment is made of the effectiveness of these methods. A novel approach to this problem is outlined with graphs of performance. Results obtained by this approach are compared with those obtained by current methods.
