Weigh-in-motion transducers are utilized as components of complex measurement instrumentation and traffic monitoring systems. In the standard specifications, WIM is described as “the process of measuring the dynamic tire forces of a moving vehicle and estimating the corresponding tire loads of the static vehicle”. Two ingenious Romanian combinations of complex bending or shearing elastic elements, optimized by FEA and equipped with strain gauges connected in Wheatstone bridges, are described in this chapter. The later WIM system has been mounted on the highways in Rosenheim (Germany) and Graz (Austria), proving its reliability during the in situ working period.
