Abstract

A system for use in classifying a vehicle includes a capacitive sensor for operatively receiving a weight of a vehicle and a capacitance detector coupled to said capacitive sensor. The capacitance detector is adapted to determine a capacitance signal of the capacitive sensor in response to the capacitive sensor operatively receiving the weight of the vehicle.
