The report provides the theoretical background and experimental data gained in the study of stresses to which bridges are subject, as so much of this background is directly applicable to this feasibility study. A method for weighing vehicles in motion using highway structures is provided, together with the theoretical analysis and justification for the proposed procedure. An instrumentation system is selected to provide automated processing of the high volume of data that would require analysis. The information provided by the system includes traffic data such as headway, identification of the type of vehicle, number of axles per vehicle, axle spacing, headway between vehicles and time of arrival. Weight data such as gross vehicle weight, individual axle weight and dynamic vehicle loads are provided for vehicles weighing over 10,000 lbs.
