NDDOT & ND Highway Patrol WIM / VWIM Project

PROJECT BACKGROUND


2003 ND LEGISLATIVE MANDATEFOR TRUCK WEIGHT ENFORCEMENT

Reduce the Costs Associated with Permanently Staffed Weigh Stations

Make a Conceptual Change in Truck Weight Enforcement – NDDOT Installed 12 WIM Sites Throughout ND on

Interstate and Non-Interstate Highways– ND Highway Patrol Equipped 36 HP Cruisers with

Wireless Communication Packages Linking Them to the WIM Sites


THE NDDOT PROPOSAL TO AASHTO-TIG

Promote a “Multi-Agency Approach” to Weight & Size Enforcement Using Wireless Technology to:

– Reduce Operating Costs– Increase Data Collection– Improve Efficiency in Management of Resources– Improve Safety for Enforcement Officers and the Traveling

Public
