Title :
Experimental verification of the method used in gauging the weight of moving vehicles
Abstract :
The article contains an example detailing the application and analysis of the preciseness of the method called continuous dynamic vehicle weighing during travel, using the telematic system that is based on the patent application CZ PV 2003-3337, authored by: Mirko Novak, Miroslav Svitek and Zdenek Votruba. Using the input data that was obtained through laboratory experiments on a running vehicle, a model was built. This model was then used to study the effects of error probability for the measured input data on the resulting expected preciseness of vehicle weight measuring in normal running regime. Based on this point, hereby presented is a proposal of selected measured variables of great importance and a proposal for the computation relationship of the used variables. By statistical processing a set of measured data taken during one vehicle travel, it is possible to attain 10.7% extreme relative error of the given method for the dynamic determination of vehicle weight.
