    1. There are three main methods to weigh dump trucks: a weighing bridge using load cells, an onboard scale installed in the truck, and a volumetric method using 3D scanning. 2. The weighing bridge is the most accurate but lowest cost option, using load cells at each corner connected to an Arduino. The onboard scale allows the driver to check the weight but has medium accuracy and cost. The 3D scanning method determines volume and calculates weight but is the most expensive and least accurate option. 3. The document compares the three methods on price, accuracy, and required technology and recommends the best option depends on specific needs and resources.

    Dump Truck Weighing Methods

    1. Weighing bridge

    - Using four load cell each corner of the rectangle.


    - Arduino will get data and send to cloud with RFID Tag

    2. DUMP TRUCK ONBOARD SCALE

    Using V300 Vulcan

    Installation method
    -Dump Truck driver can view its load weight anytime.

    3. Using Volumetric method

    Scanning the top view of the truck to produce 3D map of the load profile, process the data to
    get the 2D load profile and compute the volume of the load. Using the acquired volume of the load, with
    the known parameters of ore density, the weight of the load can be computed.
