NeuroWIM

Intelligent, high-accuracy, high-speed vehicle Weigh-in-Motion system

European NeuroCar

The subject of the project was to develop and implement a highly precise weighing system for vehicles in motion HS-WIM, maintaining the required measurement accuracy class A(5) in accordance with certification procedures (OIML, COST323), throughout the entire period of operation. The stability of operation is a significant technological challenge due to its non-stationarity, which means that measurement results are significantly dependent on external interference factors, such as air temperature or road surface condition.

In order to compensate for the interference factors, an automatic measurement error correction module was developed, which adjusts the calibration coefficient value to changing environmental conditions. The basis for the module’s operation is a statistical model based on a system of many characteristic values, selected within the planned industrial research.

At the same time, methods were developed for detecting interference resulting from momentary changes in the electromagnetic field occurring near the device (electromagnetic compatibility) and for eliminating measurements due to incorrect passage through the measurement field.

Neurosoft implemented the project results in its own business activity. The precise dynamic weighing system expanded the functionality of solutions offered on the domestic and global market in the field of road infrastructure management (ITS) and road traffic safety (BRD). The precision and stability of the weighing system developed within the project allows for its wide application not only for the automatic registration of traffic violations (WIM-E), but also in road engineering tasks related to the operation of already existing infrastructure elements (assessment of residual usefulness), as well as the design of new components (assessment of actual loads).

The project was carried out jointly with the Department of Metrology at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Automatics, Computer Science and Electronics of the AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow.
