• Abstract:
  The purpose of this project is to verify the safety and legality of commercial vehicles at both fixed and mobile roadside sites. improving the efficiency, safety. and effectiveness of commercial vehicle operations through the use of timely, accurate electronic clearance information. The problem is that enforcement of commercial vehicle safety and administrative regulations is constrained by limited personnel resources and the lack of available information. Vehicles that do not routinely pass by fixed weigh stations may never be checked. With better screening, scarce resources could be better focused on unsafe and/or illegal carriers and drivers. Therefore, the project is to: (1) develop a portable electronic system to effectively and efficiently verify safe and legal vehicles, allowing them to pass check points at mainline speeds instead of pulling off for roadside checks; and to (2) demonstrate prototype system in specially equipped van operating from roadside locations or weigh stations.
