ASTM E 2415 : 2005 : R2024

1.1This practice covers the installation of piezoelectric tire-force sensors that are used to detect axles when counting, classifying, or weighing vehicles as part of a roadway traffic monitoring program. Piezoelectric sensors are often used in pairs and combined with other roadway sensors such as inductive loops to classify and weigh vehicles.

1.2The practice applies only to piezoelectric tire-force sensors used for the detection of vehicle axles on a roadway.

1.3The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only and are not considered standard.

1.4This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.5This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
