With the development of the Highway Transportation and Business Trade, vehicle weigh-in-motion (WIM) technology has become a key technology and trend of measuring traffic loads. In this paper, a novel capacitive flexible weighing sensor which is light weight, smaller volume and easy to carry was applied in the vehicle WIM system. The dynamic behavior of the sensor is modeled using the Maxwell-K...

Bridge code calibration and assessment of existing bridges require an accurate knowledge of traffic load patterns. WIM data are useful for these applications, either to account for the current traffic loads or to assess the potential impact of future loads. Traffic load effects were calculated on two composite bridges, using WIM data of a French motorway, and the effect of an increase of the gr...

A recent study by Priebe et al., (2006) has shown that a small proportion (27%) of primate directionally selective, complex V1 neurons are tuned for the speed of image motion. In this study, I show that the weighted intersection mechanism (WIM) model, which was previously proposed to explain speed tuning in middle temporal neurons, can also explain the tuning found in complex V1 neurons. With t...

From an information-theoretical point of view the write once memory (WOM), the unidirectional memory (WUM), the write isolated memory (WIM), the memory with address faults (MAF), Blackwell’s broadcast channel, and some other constrained memories and channels with an informed encoder can be considered as particular cases of the general defective channel (GDC) introduced by Kuznetsov as a general...

Fructans are fructose-based oligo-and polysaccharides of natural origin. Fructan and fructose species are sometimes confused by the great public, although they clearly have different biochemical and physiological properties. This review discusses aspects of the use of fructose and fructans in foods in the context of human health, with possible differential effects on cellular autophagy in cells...

This study investigates the concept that when localized bridge superstructure damage is present, weights of passing vehicles inferred from a rotation-based weigh-in-motion (B-WIM) system will deviate those predicted by strain-based B-WIM system. Rotation measurements were gathered 5.4-m simply supported laboratory model crossed repeatedly four-axle vehicle. Damage was incorporated bolting stiff...

<p>Dynamic vehicle weight measuring, weigh-in-motion (WIM), is an important metric that can reflect significantly driving behaviour and in turn, it will affect both safety traffic status. Several accurate WIM systems are developed implemented successfully. These using under road weighing sensor which costly to implement. Moreover, not very practical embed a continuous system used cars. In...

Abstract Virtual reality (VR) has been proved as a promising tool for industrial design, but the traditional VR interface of first-person perspective (1PP) is not efficient to support assemblability assessment in narrow assembly spaces. In this paper, we proposed multi-perspectives (MPI) which integrates 1PP and third-person (3PP) using handheld world-in-miniature (WIM). The MPI allows users si...
