A Special Fiber Optic Sensor for Measuring Wheel Loads of Vehicles on Highways

This paper presents results from an investigation on a special optical fiber as a load sensor for application in Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) systems to measure wheel loads of vehicles traveling at normal speed on highways. The fiber used has a unique design with two concentric light guiding regions of dif...
