Abstract:The objective of the research study was: to install a quartz-piezo based WIM system, and to
determine sensor survivability, accuracy and reliability under actual traffic conditions in
Connecticut’s environment. If the systems prove dependable and durable, and if additional
installations are made for statistical data gathering or for screening at weight enforcement locations,
the expected benefits from this study are: accurate traffic statistics and better estimates of traffic
loading; improved pavement design and subsequent longer pavement lives. The improved technology
also offers the potential for easy installation and reduced maintenance and less costly calibration
checking than for Piezo electric ceramic sensors.
