7、troductionThe need to weigh vehicles in motion, applied especially to traffic control, has grown substantially in the past decades. Several techniques for weighting vehicles in-motion are now used including piezoelectric cables, capacitive mats, hydraulic and bending-plate load cells 1. Hydraulic an
8、d bending-plate load cells offer high accuracy (15%) and dynamic range, yet suffer from high installation costs and size constraints. The piezoelectric and capacitive mat techniques are substantially lower in cost, yet are less accurate (515%) and do not function properly at speeds lower than 20km/h
