Abstract:

This report documents evaluation results and recommendations for Michigan commercial vehicle

enforcement strategies and facilities. Through literature review, online survey and site visits,

enforcement strategies and facilities in other states and countries were studied. Site visits of existing

Michigan commercial vehicle enforcement sites and review of current and past reports by the Michigan

Department of Transportation (MDOT) and the Michigan State Police (MSP) revealed the existing

conditions of facilities and potential needs for improvements. Benefit-cost analyses for the existing fixed

weigh stations and other enforcement sites were conducted. The results indicated that addition of low-speed Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) with bypass lane is most likely to improve efficiency of a number of

existing fixed weigh stations. Also, adding a preclearance system was found to improve efficiency of

specific fixed weigh stations. The results, however, showed that fixed weigh stations are not

economically beneficial when located along low volume roads. Recommendations for removing such

stations are also provided. Furthermore, the report recommends implementation of systems that integrate

enforcement technologies and consolidate data to assist enforcement officers in screening and verifying

compliance of commercial vehicles.
