Abstract
A method for determining the weight G of a vehicle () while the vehicle is travelling on a section () of road () uses at least one weigh-in-motion (WIM) sensor () that is narrower than the length of the footprint of a wheel in the direction of vehicle travel. When the vehicle () travels along this section () of road () both the wheel loads F(t) of all the wheels () or twin wheels i, and the speed v(t) of the vehicle () during the entire passing are acquired as time functions, and during evaluation of the data for determining the weight G the speeds v(t) and their change over time are used as weighting of the simultaneously determined wheel loads F(t).
