Hi
I do believe that the Servisignaldevice principle is what is now used to operate the vehicle census devices seen on occasion, though pressure on the hose now operates the wheel counter.
I presume they use a rough count of 2 axles per vehicle and then maybe reduce the figure slightly to account for 3 and 4 axle trucks.
