• Abstract:
  This research investigates the best way to enforce the truck size and weight limits and by doing ; so decrease the damage that is being done to Oklahoma's roads and bridges. In the process a ; survey of all state DOT's was conducted to help determine the state of the art for cost effective ; and the most efficiente mix of fixed weigh stations, mobile enforcement, weight in motion (WIM), ; virtual enforcement, and possible other technology to provide optimum monitoring of ; Oversize/Overweight vehicles to reduce damage to Oklahoma's roads and bridges. ; Recommendations are offered concerning the construction of Point of Entry (POE) Facilities, ; mobile enforcement and virtual enforcement within the state of Oklahoma. A novel data ; collection system , the OU-BWIM is proposed to help determine the location of intrastate virtual ; and mobile enforcement locations. The proposed development of the OU-BWIM would help ; convert existing infrastructure assets, bridges, into weight in motion, real time, data collection ; points.
