Identyfikacja niestacjonarności systemu WIM

W pracy opisano metodę identyfikacji niestacjonarności systemów ważących pojazdy samochodowe w ruchu (Weigh in Motion). Rozważono zmiany temperatury otoczenia oraz wilgotności jako główne przyczyny tej niestacjonarności. Przedstawiono ideę metody identyfikacji, wyniki badań symulacyjnych oraz eksperymentalnych, które wykonano w oparciu o rejestracje z systemu ważącego zainstalowanego na drodze nr 81 w miejscowości Gardawice.

With regard to protection of the road infrastructure and traffic safety, there is a need for intensive development of Weigh in Motion (WIM) systems. These systems are the alternative for ineffective static or low - speed weighing. However, a major drawback of Weigh in Motion (WIM) systems is high uncertainty of weighing results. Reasons for this fact are various, however one of the most important of them is nonstationarity of the system recognised as changes of its parameters in time. This phenomenon gains special significance in case of systems equipped with piezoelectric polymer sensors installed in the road pavement. The work contains analysis of the WIM system nonstationarity and describes the method for identification of this nonstationarity. Understanding of the mechanisms of this phenomenon as well as specification of its parametric model is vital from the aspect of prevention against the effects of nonstationarity. The constructed model can be used as a basis for simulation test of WIM systems, in particular sensitivity tests of different algorithms of acquisition and processing of data in nonstationary systems. The gained knowledge will also enable improvement of algorithms limiting the influence of system nonstationarity on weighing results, i.e. the autocalibration and temperature
