Although there are many papers publicly available about Weigh-in-Motion, a
little bit researchers publish their sources and data, which could allow a
better reproduction of their experiments and results. In this context, the
Open Science concept can help improve the WIM research through
collaborative efforts and reproducible methods, using algorithms and data
with open access.
The OpenWIM project was born upon this background as an open science
initiative, to provide a WIM researchers a repository with initial
structure that can then be converted into a framework for researchers to
develop and test new methods and technologies.
