Caltrans Weigh-In-Motion Stations (Inland Empire)

Status:

Existing

Description:

Caltrans has deployed automatic high-speed weigh-in-motion (WIM) stations on mainline highway lanes throughout California. These planning and data collection stations capture vehicle classification and vehicle weight data continuously. They are distinct and separate from facilities at which commercial vehicle enforcement is conducted. The vehicle classification/weigh data is stored in a roadside controller which is periodically (often daily) polled by the Data Center in Sacramento. The Data Center retrieves and analyzes the data for anomalies, which fall outside of expected value boundaries. Fourteen of these planning/data surveillance sites gather data for the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP). Each high speed WIM Data Collection Systems includes equipment for collecting, processing, storing and transmitting data to Caltrans, Headquarters, Division of Traffic Operations. The data collected provides info related to counting, classifying and speed monitoring of all vehicles and the weighing of trucks and buses. This system allows for single threshold weighing and operates over a speed range of 0 to 100 mph.
