The Golden River light weight capacitance pad Weigh-In-Motion (W.I.M.) system was installed on the westbound lane of U.S. Route 2 at Pittsfield, Maine, in front of the Maine Facility Laboratory. Two different type trucks, a Tandem and a Two Axle, were accurately weighed statically and then repeated runs thru the pad system were made for calibration. Accuracies are within 10 percent. The electronic components are battery operated making all road sites accessible for vehicle weighing. The system is portable and simple to install in a few hours. No serious electronic problems developed over a two month continuous run.
