Abstract
The invention relates to a WIM sensor for detecting loads of vehicles on a roadway segment when a wheel of a vehicle crosses the WIM sensor arranged flush with the roadway surface in the roadway segment. The WIM sensor is formed as an elongated profile along a longitudinal axis and defines a space therein. A force sensor configured to generate a force sensor signal corresponding to a dynamic ground reaction force when the wheel crosses the force sensor is arranged in the space. An electro-acoustic transducer is arranged in the space and configured to measure sound waves and accordingly generate a transducer signal.
