Enhance the precision, reliability, and performance of weigh-in-motion data for smarter infrastructure management.
This specialized course provides an advanced examination of methods to improve weigh-in-motion (WIM) system accuracy, ensuring dependable data for traffic monitoring, pavement design, and infrastructure management. Participants will gain a deep understanding of how measurement precision affects asset management decisions and roadway performance evaluation.
Key learning areas include:
Understanding the role and importance of accurate WIM data in traffic analysis, freight monitoring, and infrastructure lifecycle planning.
Identifying limitations of traditional calibration and validation methods and their impact on long-term data quality.
Introducing normalized axle load spectra (NALS) shape factors as a novel tool for assessing system accuracy and temporal data consistency.
Applying advanced modeling techniques to link WIM errors with Class 9 NALS factors, providing a framework to detect and correct systematic drift post-calibration.
Translating analytical findings into practical maintenance and recalibration strategies to enhance reliability and operational efficiency.
By completing this course, participants will be equipped to develop, evaluate, and maintain high-accuracy WIM programs that support data-driven decision-making in transportation engineering.
