Method for measuring the load on a vehicle axle with temperature compensation using a strain gauge (variants)

Abstract

The invention relates to measuring technology, and more particularly to weighing devices, and can be used for determining gross vehicle weight, load weight and the load on a vehicle axle. The method includes receiving a first electrical output signal from a strain gauge that is mounted on an axle of a vehicle and measures the tensile and compressive strain on the axle along the longitudinal axis thereof, receiving a second electrical output signal from a strain gauge that is mounted on the axle of the vehicle and measures the tensile and compressive strain on the axle along the transverse axis thereof, and calculating the value of the load on the axle of the vehicle on the basis of the difference between said first and second electrical output signals. The technical result consists in minimizing the effect of fluctuations in the ambient temperature on the readings of a strain gauge mounted on the axle of a vehicle.
