Axle Weighing for Attended Mode
Heidi Adams
Overview:
Axle weighing can be used for several different purposes. It can be used to help ensure that vehicles are safely loaded to their rated capacity and to avoid the many problems associated with imbalance and overloading. It can also be used to collect a total weight when the truck is longer than the scale.
Interact provides three different options for axle weighing: Short Deck, Long Deck - Drive on, and Long deck - Drive off
Short Deck axle weighing refers to weighing a truck on a scale that is too short to weigh the entire truck. Each axle is added together to form a sum of the axle weights.
Long Deck - Drive on axle weighing refers to weighing a truck on a scale that is long enough to weigh the entire truck, but still needs to weigh each individual axle. As the truck drives onto the scale, previous axle weights are subtracted from the total weight to determine the current axle weight.
Long Deck - Drive off axle weighting refers to the truck pulling off of the scale. Each axle is weighed as the truck pulls off the scale.
NTEP
Axle weighing is not an NTEP certifiable form of measurement. Therefore, individual axle weights are not stored with the transaction. Only the total weight is stored with the transaction. Axle weights are can be stored for printing on tickets using Note fields. Inbound axle weights are replaced with the outbound axle weights.
