• Abstract:
  The primary objective of this second phase is the further development, demonstration ; and field evaluation of a permanent dual purpose bridge weigh-in-motion and health monitoring ; system over an extended period of time. Calibrated test truck results demonstrated that the ; proposed algorithm can accurately predict vehicle speeds, and that even if the speed is exact ; other factors can contribute to the inaccuracy of the algorithm. The research has also been ; applied to a large continuous traffic data-set consisting of 385 days, providing information ; including gross vehicle weight (GVW), truck speeds, and average daily truck traffic (ADTT) for certain months. The GVW, speed, and time stamp of ; each identified truck has been saved and loaded to a website accessible by the Connecticut ; Department of Transportation.
