The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WISDOT) participated in FHWA's "Demonstration of Coordinated Weight Monitoring and Enforcement Program Using Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) Equipment" as part of the Rural Technical Assistance Program.
Primary
factors such as portability, unobtrusiveness, and the overall benefit/cost
ratio let to WISDOT's selection of a Bridge Weigh-In-Motion system to
conduct Truck Weight Study data collection activities. The demonstration
project has subsequently allowed WISDOT to test the operational performance
of the Bridge WIM system while also a) establishing a comprehensive and
representative base of truck weight data; b) testing new approaches to
motor carrier enforcement; and c) promoting coordination between the various
weighing programs.
The demonstration
project has allowed WISDOT to test the overall performance of the Bridge
WIM (BWIM) equipment as well as develop an entirely new comprehensive
and representative truck weight data base.
