In recent years, a great deal of effort has been applied to the development of methods for weighing objects in motion. In this paper, sources of error associated with dynamic weighing are outlined and various approaches to the problem are described with estimated results.
A particularly effective dynamic weighing technique is described in detail and an example of its application is illustrated.
