Abstract
A method and system () for determining vehicle weight to a precision of <0.1%, uses a plurality of weight sensing elements (), a computer () for reading in weighing data for a vehicle () and produces a dataset representing the total weight of a vehicle via programming (-) that is executable by the computer () for (a) providing a plurality of mode parameters that characterize each oscillatory mode in the data due to movement of the vehicle during weighing, (b) by determining the oscillatory mode at which there is a minimum error in the weighing data; (c) processing the weighing data to remove that dynamical oscillation from the weighing data; and (d) repeating steps (a)-(c) until the error in the set of weighing data is <0.1% in the vehicle weight.
