Abstract With the rapid increase in number of vehicles, accurately identifying vehicle loads is crucial for maintaining and operating transportation infrastructure systems. Existing load identification methods typically rely on collecting data from weigh‐in‐motion (WIM) systems when vehicles pass over them. However, cumbersome installation, high costs, regular maintenance are main obstacles that prevent WIM being widely used practice. This study introduces visual (V‐WIM) framework, a vision‐based approach tracking moving loads. The V‐WIM framework consists two components, weight estimation location estimation. Vehicle estimated using tire deformation parameters extracted images through object detection optical character recognition techniques. A deep learning‐based YOLOv8 algorithm employed as detector, combined with ByteTrack location. its corresponding then integrated to enable simultaneous tracking. performance proposed was evaluated component validation tests one on‐site test, demonstrating capability overcome limitations existing methods.
