Abstract

Weigh-in-Motion technology has been used to monitor the traffic load volume and prevent road damage. It has the potential to minimize problems of overloading practice. WIM technology has made it possible to measure a vehicle’s weight without stopping. However, the vehicle speed is an important issue that should be considered in measuring a moving vehicle’s weight. Therefore, the WIM system also has a speed sensor beside the load sensor. A proposed WIM sensor based on fiber optic made it possible to measure both the vehicle’s weight and speed at once without speed sensor addition. This work proposed a method to calculate the speed of the vehicle from the fiber optic-based WIM sensor’s output. The result shows that the proposed method proved to be reliable and close to the real speed. However, the high specification of detector and data processor are needed to avoid the high calculation error in measuring higher speed vehicle.
