The available literature on weighing vehicle in motion and stress history studies on bridges was studied. Since measurements indicate a linear relationship between maximum stress and vehicle weight the idea of using a bridge as an in-motion weighing device is supported. The basis for the design of the weighing system is stated and a preliminary system design is presented. This system could be used for weighing vehicles in motion or accumulating strain and traffic history records on heavily traveled bridges.
