Abstract
In this paper, the concept of a distributed wireless system of weigh-in-motion is proposed. A wireless sensor for weigh-in-motion (WIM) based on piezoelectric materials is designed. The corresponding prototype for indoor testing is made according to the design. It aims to realize the main functions of dynamic pressure sensing, charge signal amplification and conversion, wireless signal transmission and reception, etc. The material properties of the mechanical properties and the piezoelectric properties in the analyses are provided in detail. Through the indoor test platform, the feasibility of the wireless sensor for WIM designed in this paper is preliminarily verified, which provides a basic tool for the realization of the distributed self-powered wireless system of WIM in the next step.
