A seismic weigh-in-motion system (12) which utilizes a seismic sensor (32) mounted, off-pavement of the highway prior to the point at which the truck (10) enters the deceleration lane at the truck weighing station. The sensor (32) senses seismic vibrations which are transferred into the ground by the moving truck (10). Signals indicative of these vibrations are transmitted through a fiber optic cable (44) connected to a main processor (42) mounted in the weigh-in station. These vibration signals along with signals proportional to the speed of the truck (determined by speed detecting devices/processes (34, 36)) as the truck moves down the highway is processed in the processor (42) to provide an output which is indicative of the weight of the truck. Additional components such as soil temperature (28) and soil moisture content (30) measuring devices provide additional inputs to the processor (42) to increase accuracy of the system.

L'invention concerne un système sismique pour le pesage en mouvement (12) faisant usage d'un capteur sismique (32) monté en-dehors de la chaussée de la route, avant le point à partir duquel le camion (10) entre dans la voie de décélération de la station de pesage de camions. Le capteur (32) capte les vibrations sismiques transférées au sol par le camion (10) en mouvement. Des signaux indicatifs de ces vibrations sont transmis à travers un câble à fibres optiques (44) relié à un processeur principal (42) monté dans la station de pesage. Ces signaux de vibrations, ainsi que des signaux proportionnels à la vitesse du camion (déterminée par des dispositifs/procédés de détection de la vitesse (34, 36)), lorsque le camion se déplace sur la route, sont traités dans le processeur (42), ce qui permet d'obtenir des donnés indicatives du poids du camion. Des dispositifs de mesures supplémentaires, tels que des appareils de mesure de la température du sol (28) et de la teneur en eau du sol (30), offrent des entrées supplémentaires du processeur (42) permettant d'augmenter la précision du système.
