INVESTIGATION OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF WEIGH-IN-MOTION OPERATION IN ILLINOIS - PHASE I. FINAL REPORT

The purpose of this study was to address the Department's concern about (1) making weigh-in-motion (WIM) equipment operate satisfactorily upon installation and (2) enhancing data consistency as compared to static-weigh operations. In order to address these concerns current Department practice with portable WIM was reviewed and evaluated. Data previously collected by the Department with both portable and permanent equipment was analytically evaluated as was the steering axle weights in static versus dynamic situations. Finally, an evaluation was made of data collected with portable WIM during calibration, testing and operation.
