Feasibility Study of a Remote Control Weigh Station

This report provides a detailed conceptual model for a remote control weigh station, including the functional requirements and high-level system characteristics of the technology. The design is based on a literature review of existing technology and the analysis of survey responses from the industry, enforcement agencies, and transportation planning agencies. As a result of the effort, a technologically and economically viable model for such technology has been captured and serves as the basis for implementation and testing of the system. An economic analysis is included in the report that supports the model with a benefit-cost result significantly greater than 1.
