[0002] In order to solve the problem that in the existing dynamic truck scale technology, the weight measurement of the vehicle often depends on the static calibration result of the truck scale, that is, when the truck scale is installed or regularly maintained, it is calibrated with a standard vehicle of known weight to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the truck scale. However, in actual use, due to the influence of environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, equipment aging, sensor accuracy changes and other factors, the measurement accuracy of the truck scale will gradually decrease, resulting in a deviation between the measurement result and the actual vehicle weight. When measuring the weight of a moving vehicle, the dynamic truck scale also needs to consider the dynamic characteristics of the vehicle, such as speed, acceleration, etc. These factors will affect the measurement results. Traditional calibration methods often ignore these dynamic factors, or simply correct them through empirical formulas, resulting in less than ideal calibration results.
