ABSTRACT:
A method which determines the axle load of a vehicle consisting of measur the weight of a wheel while the vehicle is at a first angle of inclination, measuring the weight of the wheel while the vehicle is tilted at a second angle of inclination, and then calculating the axle weight from the two weight readings and the two angles. A front and rear wheel is selected in turn in order to determine both front and rear axle weights. Alternatively, there may be two different force measuring scales which detect two different force components of gravity exerted by the wheel due to the fact that the two different scales are set a different angle with respect to the road surface.
