**5. Conclusions**

In this paper, considering the load transverse distribution, a novel moving load identification method was proposed based on distributed strain sensing technique and influence line. The load identification accuracy and anti-noise performance were greatly improved, and it was more universal for a variety of bridge types. In addition, a series of numerical simulations and experiments were conducted to verify the proposed method. The main conclusions are as follows:
