Abstract: A method 10 of verifying a traffic violation image and includes the step of automatically sensing 12 whether or not a vehicle commits a traffic violation, the step of automatically capturing 14 an image which shows a vehicle committing a traffic violation if it is sensed 12 that the vehicle has committed a traffic violation, the step of obtaining 16 verification data which verifies that the step of sensing 12 is accurate within acceptable limits, and the step of automatically combining 18 the obtained verification data with the captured traffic violation image to provide proof of the accurate sensing of the traffic violation. Also provided is an associated system.

Abstract: This invention provides a housing (60) for a weight sensor (10). The housing (60) is made from fluid-impervious material and is shaped and configured to completely enclose the weight sensor (10) in a fluid tight manner. The housing (60) includes a bottom portion in the form of a weight sensor accessory pad (62). The pad (62) includes a grooved lower surface (64), the grooves (66) being configured to enhance dispersion, in use, of fluids trapped between the pad (62) and a surface on which the pad (62) rests when a downward force is applied to the part (62).

Abstract: The invention provides a weight sensor (10) which includes a first electrically conductive sheet (12) electrically isolated from a second electrically conductive sheet (14) by inserts of a closed cell foamed polymeric dielectric (16) and an elastic dielectric (18) in spaces (20) formed between the inserts (16) located between the sheets (12, 14). The sensor (10) also includes capacitive measuring means (24), electrically connected between the first sheet (12) and the second sheet (14), which measures a change of capacitance between the sheets (12, 14) when a vehicle passes over the sheets (12, 14). The sensor (10) further includes converting means (26) for converting the change of capacitance to a number related to a weight of the vehicle.
