ENHANCEMENT TO FDOT TRUCK WEIGHING PROGRAM. FINAL REPORT

This report presents the results of a study to identify, evaluate, test, and aid in the incorporation of selected recently developed and emerging technologies and strategies for automating truck weighing and monitoring in Florida. These included the conversion of existing permanent automatic traffic counting sites to integrated traffic counting, vehicle classification, and truck weighing locations. Technologies and strategies were identified through a literature survey and product search. These were then investigated through an assessment procedure. A pilot test plan was developed to evaluate the innovative technologies and strategies identified. These included prototype versions of piezoelectric film-based weigh-in-motion (WIM) transducers.
