Popis: Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) systems provide information on the state of road traffic and are used in activities undertaken as part of traffic supervision and management, enforcement of applicable regulations, and in the design of road infrastructure. The further development of such systems is aimed at increasing their measurement accuracy, operational reliability, and their resistance to disturbing environmental factors. Increasing the accuracy of measurement can be achieved both through actions taken in the hardware layer (technology of load sensors, the number of sensors and their arrangement, technology used in the construction of the pavement, selection of the system location), as well as by implementing better system calibration algorithms and algorithms for pre-processing measurement data. In this paper, we focus on the issue of WIM system calibration. We believe that through the correct selection of the calibration algorithm, it is possible to significantly increase the accuracy of vehicle weighing in WIM systems, from a practical point of view. The simulation and experimental studies we conducted confirmed this hypothesis.
