How do we calculate the weight in transportation industry?

Question

Accepted Answer

Weight in the transportation industry is calculated using various methods such as weighing scales, load cells, and volumetric calculations.

Weight can be measured using weighing scales that are placed on the ground or integrated into vehicles.
Load cells are used to measure the weight of individual components or cargo within a transportation system.
Volumetric calculations are used to estimate the weight of irregularly shaped objects based on their dimensions and density.
Weight calculations may also involve considering factors such as tare weight, net weight, and gross weight.
Examples of weight calculation methods include axle weighing, weighbridges, and air cargo volumetric weight calculations.
