Abstract
Paper presented at the 32nd Annual Southern African Transport Conference 8-11 July 2013 "Transport and Sustainable Infrastructure", CSIR International Convention Centre, Pretoria, South Africa.
With the evolvement of modern Weigh-In-Motion equipment both in the field of sensor and logger technology the way in which calibration and verification is undertaken has also changed. This paper discusses some traditional calibration and verification methods and suggests how to implement more reliable in-field and statistical calibration and verification methods. In addition the paper discusses and presents a technique of correcting bias resulting from “binning” recorded axle weights.
