HOLLOW PROFILE SENSOR
First Claim
1. A hollow profile sensor for the installation into roads or a road surface for the purpose of measuring the weight of vehicles and/or dynamic reactions of vehicles or of vehicle wheels to the road, as well as for measuring vehicle speeds and other quantities to be measured, comprising:
- an axially elongated tube section with an exterior and a hollow interior, the tube section defining a connecting flange for connecting the tube section to a counterpart, the tube section further defining in the hollow interior a first mounting configured for contacting an axially elongated measuring arrangement disposed in the hollow interior,a force introduction flange that is connected to the exterior of the tube section,a counterpart connecting to the connecting flange of the tube section and defining a force anchoring flange and a second mounting, wherein the second mounting is disposed in opposition to the first mounting and is configured for contacting the measuring arrangement, anda measuring arrangement disposed between and contacting first and second mountings and configured with respect to the mountings in such a way that a concentration of force application lines on the measuring arrangement is realized.

Abstract
A hollow profile sensor for installation in roads or a road surface for the purpose of sensing the weight of vehicles and/or driving dynamics reactions of vehicles or vehicle wheels to the road includes a tube part having a hollow interior profile. A counterpart is connected to the tube part. A measuring arrangement is held in the hollow interior profile between the tube part and the counterpart. A force introduction flange is connected to the tube part in such a manner that force application lines are concentrated on the measuring arrangement.
