This guide is designed to provide direction on the monitoring of traffic characteristics. It begins with a discussion of the structure of traffic characteristics monitoring and traffic counting. The next two sections cover vehicle classification and truck weighing. The last section presents the coordinated record formats for station identification, traffic volume, vehicle classification, and truck weight data.

In 1987 a test was conducted of a high precision, low speed Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) system that could accurately weigh vehicle axles and be used for enforcement purposes at weight scale facilities. A complete prototype system was installed for testing and demonstration at Clavet, Saskatchewan. The system was checked against weights obtained from the static scale in use at the site over nine months. Two additional systems were installed in British Columbia and were monitored over five months, during which the system was subjected to a variety of hostile conditions. This report describes the technical development of the in-road hardware and the data acquisition electronics; the operational characteristics; prototype testing; and the B.C. sites and monitoring.

Weigh-in-motion (WIM) is a process of measuring the dynamic tire forces of a moving vehicle and estimating the corresponding tire loads of the static vehicle. This collection of lectures from the International Conference on Weigh-in-Motion details applications such as: collection of statistical traffic data, support of commercial vehicle enforcement, roadway and bridge cost allocation, and traffic management.
