Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vehicle dynamic weighing, and in particular to a layout structure of a dynamic weighing system of a bar-type weighing sensor and a road structure. Background Art

[0002] Typically, static weighing scales are installed at highway toll booth entrances to check the weight of trucks entering the highway. This prevents overloaded vehicles from entering the highway, which could pose a traffic safety hazard, and mitigates road damage caused by overloading. However, since trucks must slow down or even stop when passing the weighing scales, this can easily lead to congestion at the toll booths, reducing traffic efficiency. To address this, some technologies have proposed using dynamic weighing to replace static weighing for trucks entering highways. These technologies employ multiple rows of bar load cells at the entrance of a highway toll booth. As trucks pass through this section of road, data from each bar load cell is collected in real time and the truck's weight is calculated, achieving dynamic weighing. Currently, narrow-strip and quartz-type bar load cells are widely used for non-stop overload detection and bridge protection on highways, national and provincial roads, and are also frequently installed at highway entrances and exits to detect overloads by trucks at low speeds. These typically employ multiple rows of sensors arranged in a parallel or staggered array, with the spacing between the rows typically equal, but not necessarily unequal. The judgment of vehicle models is generally made using special vehicle model recognition equipment, or based on vehicle model feature big data and fuzzy algorithms.

[0003] However, the bar-type weighing sensors used in the aforementioned weigh-in-motion systems generally provide accurate detection when vehicles are traveling at a normal, steady speed. However, at highway entrances, vehicles inevitably stop and go at the weighing area due to queuing. Furthermore, some trucks exploit the characteristics of the bar-type sensors and intentionally engage in unusual maneuvers such as stopping and starting, changing speeds, and driving in S-shaped patterns. This can lead to misjudgments of couplings and vehicle types, and even increased weighing errors. Consequently, existing weigh-in-motion systems are prone to disputes caused by misjudgments of vehicle types and large errors, which often disrupt the normal flow of traffic at highway entrances.
