1. A sensor assembly, comprising:

  • a signal interface being configured to interface, at least in part, to a transmission-line assembly with an electrical domain reflectometry signal processing system;

    the transmission-line assembly positionable relative to a vehicular roadway, including;

    a force-receiving portion with a flat conductive surface for receiving a vehicular load of a moving vehicle moving relative to the vehicular roadway; and

    a core assembly with a flat conductive strip substantially parallel to the flat surface;

    wherein, the flat conductive strip electrically cooperates with the flat conductive surface for changing an electrical transmission-line parameter in response to reception of the vehicular load by elastic deflection of the flat conductive surface towards and away from the flat conductive strip.
