Utilization of FBG's in experimental weighing in motion systems

In the context of the development of technology and systems of internet of things the requirements for collecting, processing and transmitting signals are increasing in all areas of society. The photonics solutions play and will play an important role. This is significant; both on the signal transmission side-mainly in the backbone networks as well as on the data collection side, especially for machine-to-machine communication. This paper is focuses on the use of optical sensors and their application in transport systems. It shows the possibilities of introducing them into such complex systems as weighing in motion. This paper deals with usability of optical sensors and can be used in the design of advanced photonic sensor systems and networks applicable to internet of things solutions or intelligent transport system based on fiber optics. Presented technology of optical sensors based on fibre Bragg gratings has been applied as experimental weighing in motion system. For the needs of this experimental system, a unique embedded sensor layout structure has been proposed. This experimental system is capable to obtain maximally 2000 data per second.
