Single Load Cell WIM Scales

Kistler Quartz Sensors Elastic material Quartz-sensing elements Load-bearing pad (can be grounded) Aluminum profile

Class I Piezoelectric Sensor-type device Primarily used for data collection activities Reported lowest accuracy at 10%– 15% Least intrusive

I-90 E-Screening Installation Statistical analysis developed Compared three WIM measurements correlated with static measurements using LPR/Transponder Measured pavement quality (smoothness) over time, weather variations, etc. Best WIM may not be most accurate Accuracy plus life cycle costs, installation, pavement requirements, etc., factored

Schodack, N.Y. E-Screening Installation Status 2008 Completed WIM installs and calibration Completed LPR installation All equipment tested, including weather station WIM data collection started in April 2008 LPR data collection in May 2008 Performed static scale weight measurements versus dynamic WIM measurements in Fall 2008 Evaluated over time to correlate pavement degradation with WIM accuracy
