About the patent:

The current invention is based on a foundation with a rectangular configuration to be placed on the road surface in a plane parallel to the surface to detect the vehicles that cross the road through the load sensor that each vehicle exerts on the sensor as a force applied transversely to its longitudinal axis, which means determining the loads imposed on the road resulting from the passage of different vehicles.
