Abstract
The paper presents outputs of an introductory part of the applied research project called OPTIWIM aimed at development of a new weight-in-motion measurements system based on the use of an optical sensor. The brief introduction to the framework and objectives of the project is followed by analysis of state-of-art of a selected segment of sensors applied to dynamic measurements of road vehicles. This makes possible to define expected properties of the new measurement system to be developed. Since new solution requires an approach based on an optical sensor usage, the final part of the paper summarizes different optical-based principles being under considerations of the development team.
