WIM(Weigh-In-Motion) 시스템은 고속으로 이동 중인 차량의 무게를 측정하는 시스템이다. 기존의 WIM 시스템에서는 등속을 기준으로 차량의 무게를 측정하며 오차율이 10% 범위에 있다. 하지만 운전자의 가 감속 조작과 같은 비정상 주행패턴을 고려하고 있지 않으므로 실제 오차율은 더욱 크다. 이러한 오차를 최소화하기 위해서 비정상적인 주행패턴을 찾고 이를 적용한 개선된 WIM 시스템이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 WIM 시스템의 오차율에 영향을 미치는 비정상 주행패턴을 분석하고 오차율을 최소화하는 개선된 WIM 시스템을 설계한다. 개선된 WIM 시스템은 기존의 시스템에 루프센서를 추가한 다단 루프 구조를 가진다. 또한 내부적으로 정의된 측정 함수를 개선하여 비정상 주행패턴별로 측정된 무게를 보정한다. 실험 분석 결과 개선된 WIM 시스템은 기존의 최대 평균 오차율 22.98% 에서 8% 미만으로 오차율이 감소한 사실을 알 수 있다.

Recently, traffic accidents and damage on the highway have increased because of overloaded vehicles. The existing overload-detecting system has a low accuracy rate. An overload-detecting system using a weigh-in-motion (WIM) system has been developed to solve this problem. The WIM system can be used to detect overloaded vehicles by measuring the weight of the vehicles. The WIM system is divided into high-speed and low-speed types. The inaccuracy rate in the low-speed WIM system results mainly from the low response rate of the sensor when the velocity is moving at more than 20 km/h. In this study, a low-speed overload-detecting pad with a hydraulic structure using a WIM system was developed to make the system more accurate. The structural and formal analysis was carried out by using a finite element method (FEM) in order to analyze the structural stability and the extrusion velocity of the system. In addition, a static load test was performed to confirm the linearity and accuracy of the pad.

본 연구는 포스트텐션 콘크리트 포장(PTCP: Post-Tensioned Concrete Pavement)에 고속축중계(WIM: Weigh-in-Motion)를 설치한 포장 시스템의 거동을 분석하기 위하여 수행되었다. PTCP는 일차로 폭으로 기존의 아스팔트 포장을 절삭하여 제거한 후에 시공되었다. PTCP는 슬래브의 연장이 길기 때문에 긴장을 통해 프리스트레스를 적절히 작용시키기 위해서는 슬래브와 하부층과의 마찰이 적어야 하며 이러한 영향을 시험시공을 통해 우선적으로 분석하였으며, 환경하중에 따른 슬래브의 종방향 거동도 분석하였다. 시험시공을 통해 얻은 결과를 바탕으로 공용중인 도로에 WIM 센서를 설치한 PTCP를 시공하였으며 이러한 포장체가 환경하중을 받을 때의 컬링 거동을 측정하여 특성을 분석하였다. 연구결과 PTCP 슬래브 상부의 일부를 절삭하여 WIM 센서를 설치하더라도 PTCP의 거동은 이에 영향을 받지 않는 것을 알 수 있었으며, WIM 센서의 정밀 측정에 부합되는 PTCP 시스템을 시공할 수 있는 기반을 마련하였다.

교량의 내구성과 설계수명 평가에 있어 대형화물차와 같은 중차량의 총중량 크기와 분포 특성은 큰 영향을 미치며, 총중량의 특성은 WIM 시스템에서의 측정 데이터를 활용하여 파악하고 있다. 고속도로상에 설치된 고속 WIM 시스템을 통해 측정된 중차량의 분포를 분석한 결과, 대부분의 중차량은 7종, 10종, 12종 화물차에서 발생하였다. 이들 화물차의 전체적인 총중량 분포와 상위 총중량 분포에 대한 확률분포 모델을 추정하였다. 전체적인 총중량 분포는 정규확률 분포에 근접하는 것으로 분석되었으며, 상위 10% 데이터는 극치분포의 하나인 Weibull 3 확률분포에 가장 높은 적합도를 갖는 것으로 나타났다.

The safety of bridges are critical in our transportation infrastructure. Bridge design and analysis require complex structural analysis procedures to ensure their safety and stability. One common method is to calculate the maximum moment in the girders to determine the appropriate bridge section. Girder distribution factors (GDFs) provide a simpler approach for performing this analysis. A GDF is a ratio between the response of a single girder and the total response of all girders in the bridge. This paper explores the significance of GDFs in bridge analysis and design, including their importance in the evaluation of existing bridges. We utilized Bridge Weigh-in-motion (B-WIM) measurements of five simple supported girder bridge in Indonesia to develop a simple GDF provisions for the Indonesia's bridge design code. The B-WIM measurements enable us to know each girder strain as a response due to vehicle loading as the vehicle passes the bridge. The calculated GDF obtained from the B-WIM measurements were compared with the code-specified GDF and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) bridge design specification. Our study found that the code specified GDF was adequate or conservative compared to the GDF obtained from the B-WIM measurements. The proposed GDF equation correlates well with the AASHTO LRFD bridge design specification. Developing appropriate provisions for GDFs in Indonesian bridge design codes can provides a practical solution for designing girder bridges in Indonesia, ensuring safety while allowing for easier calculations and assessments based on B-WIM measurements.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this article is to investigate the predicted life of jointed concrete pavement (JCP) with two variables effecting on axle load spectra (ALS). The first variable is different data acquisition methods whether using high-speed weigh-in-motion (HS-WIM) or not and the other one is spectra distribution due to overweight enforcement on main-lane of expressway using HS-WIM. METHODS : Three sets of ALS had been collected i) ALS provided by Korea Pavement Research Program (KPRP), which had been obtained without using HS-WIM ii) ALS collected by HS-WIM before the enforcement at Kimcheon and Seonsan site iii) ALS collected after the enforcement at the same sites. And all ALS had been classified into twelve vehicle classes and four axle types to compare each other. Among the vehicle classes, class 6, 7, 10 and 12 were selected as the major target for comparing each ALS because these were considered as the primary trucks with a high rate of overweight loading. In order to analyze the performance of JCP based on pavement life, fatigue crack and International Roughness Index (IRI) were predicted using road pavement design program developed by KPRP and each ALS with same annual average daily traffic (AADT) was applied to design slab thickness. RESULTS : Comparison ALS of KPRP with those of HS-WIM shows that the ALS of KPRP has a low percentage of heavy spectra such as 6~9 tonnes for single axle, 18~21 tonnes for tandem axle and 27~30 tonnes for tridem axle than other two ALS of HS-WIM in most vehicle classes and axle types. It means that ALS of KPRP was underestimated. And after the enforcement, percentage of heavy spectra close to 10 tonnes per an axle are lowered than before the enforcement by the effect of overweight enforcement because the spectra are related to overweight regulation. Prediction results of pavement life for each ALS present that the ALS of HS-WIM collected before the enforcement makes the pavement life short more than others. On the other hand, the ALS of KPRP causes the longest life under same thickness of slab. Thus, it is possible that actual performance life of JCP under the traffic like ALS of HS-WIM could be short than predicted life if the pavement was designed based on ALS provided by KPRP. CONCLUSIONS : It is necessary to choose more reliable and practical ALS when designing JCP because ALS can be fairly affected by acquisition methods. In addition, it is important to extend performance life of the pavement in service by controlling traffic load such as overweight enforcement.

Bridges are ones of fundamental facilities for roads which become social overhead capital facilities and they are designed to get safety in their life cycles. However as time passes, bridge can be damaged by changes of external force and traffic environments. Therefore, a bridge should be repaired and maintained for extending its life cycle. The working load on a bridge is one of the most important factors for safety, it should be calculated accurately. The most important load among working loads is live load by a vehicle. Thus, the travel characteristics and weight of vehicle can be useful for bridge maintenance if they were estimated with high reliability. In this study, a B-WIM system in which the bridge is used for a scale have been developed for measuring the vehicle loads without the vehicle stop. The vehicle loads can be estimated by the developed B-WIM system with the reaction responses from the supporting points. The algorithm of developed B-WIM system have been verified by numerical analysis.

PURPOSES : In order to apply high-speed weigh-in-motion (HS WIM) systems to asphalt pavement, three high-durability asphalt concrete mixtures installed with a WIM epoxy are evaluated. METHODS : In this study, dynamic stability, number of loading repetitions to reach the rut depth of 1 mm, and rut depth measurements of three asphalt mixtures at $60^{\circ}C$ were compared using an Asphalt Pavement Analyzer (APA). Laboratory-fabricated material and field core samples were prepared and tested according to KS F2374. RESULTS : Through the laboratory tests, it was found that all three modified asphalt mixtures (stone-mastic, porous, and semi-rigid) with WIM epoxy showed favorable permanent deformation results and passed the dynamic stability criterion of 3000 loading repetitions per 1 mm. In addition, it was confirmed that the modified SMA mixtures cored from the field construction yields satisfactory rutting testing results using the APA. Finally, the epoxy used for the HS WIM installation shows good adhesion with the three asphalt mixtures and permanent deformation resistance.

This paper describes a weight in motion(WIM) sensor to measure the weight of a vehicle in motion. The main sensing element of the WIM sensor is the PVDF(Polyvinylidene fluoride) film that shows rapid response to an external excitation. Due to the property of rapid response, it is possible to measure the weight of a vehicle in motion with high speed. In the development of the WIM sensor, the dominant target value was the uniformity of the sensor. To increase the uniformity, We employed shrinkable tube made of rubber to enhance the uniformity, and performed the rolling of the brass tube repeatedly. The uniformity of the sensor was examined experimentally. It was comparable to that of a WIM sensor of the MSI which was the benchmark of this development. This paper also describes the mechanical modeling of the sensor and the suitable charge amplifier for the sensor.
