This paper describes a weight in motion(WIM) sensor to measure the weight of a vehicle in motion. The main sensing element of the WIM sensor is the PVDF(Polyvinylidene fluoride) film that shows rapid response to an external excitation. Due to the property of rapid response, it is possible to measure the weight of a vehicle in motion with high speed. In the development of the WIM sensor, the dominant target value was the uniformity of the sensor. To increase the uniformity, We employed shrinkable tube made of rubber to enhance the uniformity, and performed the rolling of the brass tube repeatedly. The uniformity of the sensor was examined experimentally. It was comparable to that of a WIM sensor of the MSI which was the benchmark of this development. This paper also describes the mechanical modeling of the sensor and the suitable charge amplifier for the sensor.

Motion recognition is very useful for implementing an intuitive HMI (Human-Machine Interface). In particular, hands are the body parts that can move most precisely with relatively small portion of energy. Thus hand motion has been used as an efficient communication interface with other persons or machines. In this paper, we design and implement a light-weight ANN (Artificial Neural Network)-based hand motion recognition using a state-of-the-art flex sensor. The proposed design consists of data collection from a wearable flex sensor, preprocessing filters, and a light-weight NN (Neural Network) classifier. For verifying the performance and functionality of the proposed design, we implement it on a low-end embedded device. Finally, our experiments and prototype implementation demonstrate that the accuracy of the proposed hand motion recognition achieves up to 98.7%.

In this paper, high speed fiber optic sensor weigh-in motion (WIM) system is proposed. Bragg gratings which have several advantages such as good reproducibility and good multiplicity compare to other optical fiber sensors are used for the system. Fabry-Perot filter for the signal process, which cannot be used in the high speed measurement because of the limitation in fast operation of PZT, is excluded. A new signal processing system which employs bandwidth filter is proposed and bridge type new sensor package design is also proposed. Design of the mold supporter is modified to round shape and then supporting points do not change. The data from the fiber sensors show identical and linear behavior to the axle weight. The proposed fiber optic WIM system is tested in the laboratory and experimented with actual trucks. The new concept of calibration is introduced and calculated by the experiments. The calibrated weight data show good approximations to real axial weights regardless the velocities of the truck.

In this Paper, we present analysis on the dynamics of human swing and its realization by a miniaturized humanoid robot. Since the motion of legs is the most important in the swing, the swing system can be approximated as a double pendulum. Based on Lagrangian analysis, the leg motion is designed to make the swing motion as sustained oscillation. In order to detect the peak instant of the swing and to synchronize the leg motion with the swing, we use ADXL acceleration/inclination sensor. The miniaturized humanoid in this paper has total 20 DOFs including 6 DOFs in each leg, 34cm in height, and 2kg in weight. As a result of realization of the swing by the humanoid, the sustained oscillation is verified through experiments.

Recently, technologies for internet of things have been rapidly advanced with development of network. Also interest in smart healthcare that informs about motion information of users has been growing. In this paper, a system that is monitoring the weight on both feet by using aduino and FSR(Force Sensitive Resistor) Sensor is implemented. A 4-channel sensor driver module was implemented to measure a more accurate weight value. It is monitoring the weight on both feet by the using an application for either your PC or mobile device. Mobile applications can contribute to reducing human damage by sending messages along with location in emergency situations, such as injuries caused by falls during outdoor activities.

본 논문에서는 전기 잡음과 장기 계측이 어려운 스트레인 게이지 센서의 단점을 보완하기 위하여 FBG 광섬유 센서를 사용하여 저속용 축중기를 개발하였고 현장에 축중 시스템에 적용하여 실험하였다. 각기 다른 브라그 파장을 갖는 FBG 센서로부터 반사되는 파장 변화를 이 센서들과 동일한 FBG 필터들을 사용하여 빛의 강도로 변화시켜 차량의 무게를 측정하였다. 광원의 광전력과 온도 변화를 보상을 하였으며 잡음의 영향을 감소시키기 위해 위해 lock-in 증폭기를 사용하였다. 모의 실험을 통해서 차량의 하중인가 위치에 관계없이 동일하게 축중이 측정되는 구조의 설계가 가능하였다. 현장 실험을 통하여 실제차량 축중 측정에 대한 선형성과 재현성을 확인하였다.

Recently fishing industry is interested in efficient and automated fishing implementations to reach the level of the international leading technology. One of the important device used in fishing boat is an automated electric compass that harnesses the GPS and terrestrial magnetic sensor. The electric compass is desired to be minimized in size while keeping a high effectiveness in the characteristic of a magnetic compass. This device also can be used as a heading angle sensor to construct auto-navigation system in a small size of ships. However, there exists measurement errors induced from the slope of terrestrial magnetic sensor caused by the motion of boat. In this paper, a method has been proposed removing the measurement error arising from the slope of terrestrial magnetic sensor when the ship is in motion. We have designed a sensor with two DOF(degree of freedom) and a weight to maintain the horizontality of the sensor. Through this research, the hardware has been designed and also a test has been performed. The test shows a promissory result.

It is more difficult to accurately weigh vehicles in motion than to weigh standing vehicles. The difficulties in weighing vehicles result from sensor Limitations as well as dynamic effects induced by vehicle/pavement interactions, This paper presents a method for improving the accuracy of measured axle load information using the so-called adaptive footprint tire model. The total vehicle weight as well as individual axle weight information are obtained experimentally using two piezoelectric sensors. Results are obtained for a light car, mid-site passenger car, and 2 dump trucks with known weight experimental results show that the proposed method using the tire model is accurate.

This paper describes an intelligent piezoelectric traffic sensor which can be detected the over-weighted vehicles In motion. Based on finite element analysis for the sensor, the sensitivity was analyzed and the design was optimized. Studied parameters are the material properties of constitutional parts, the geometry of the sensor, the weight of the vehicle, and the speed of the vehicle. To verify the simulated results, we manufactured the sensor having the optimized geometry and the sensitivity was measured in the range from 0.5 to 3 ton of tensile and compressive stress. The measured results shows that the sensitivity and linearity of the sensor are closely agree with the designed values.
