Embodiment approach

[0185] Reference now Figure 5a In one embodiment, a first PDS port 12a, a second PDS port 12b, and a third PDS port 12c are shown. It should be understood that the PDS port 12a is also referred to as the parameter disturbance sensor port 12a. The PDS port 12a, PDS port 12b, and PDS port 12c are connected to the wheel analog front end 501 via corresponding sensor buses. The wheel analog front end 501 is also referred to as the wheel AFE501. The wheel AFE501 is connected to the wheel data converter 503 via a receiver bus, and the wheel AFE501 is also connected to the FPGA 28 via a sensor selector bus. The wheel data converter 503 is connected to the FPGA 28 via the sample bus, and to the computer 34 via the PLL control bus. Those skilled in the art should understand that various numbers of PDS sensors or PDS sensor ports can be used. FPGA28 is connected to the computer via a data bus.

Abstract

Systems, apparatus and methods are provided for measuring moving vehicle information. Moving vehicle information may be measured by a sensor configured to respond to one or more wheels of the vehicle, where one or more of the wheels changes the characteristic impedance of the sensor at the wheel's contact location. An electrical time domain reflectometry signal processing system which is capable of measuring the change in the impedance of the sensor and converting the impedance change to a signal may be connected operatively to the sensor. A data-processing system receives the signal and extracts the vehicle information therefrom.
