* Idaho - To launch 'weigh-in-motion' monitor system in April
Boise,ID,USA -Land Line, by Greg Grisolano -15 March 2013: -- A new system of sensors and cameras will aim to streamline weight enforcement along U.S. Highway 20 near Ashton, ID, according to a release from the Idaho Transportation Department... The state’s goal is to assist with weight enforcement and improve efficiency for truckers who are properly loaded... The pilot system consists of loops with sensors embedded in the pavement and of poles with cameras installed on both sides of the loops along the roadway. Data transmitted from the system will be available online to ITD, the Montana Department of Transportation, Idaho State Police and local law enforcement agencies. Inspectors at portable weigh stations in Ashton, Island Park and elsewhere on U.S. 20 will use the information to identify violators... The sensors are physically cut into the asphalt on Highway 20. As trucks roll over the sensors, they record the truck type, axle configuration and weight. Cameras mounted above the sensors can capture the truck’s physical description, as well as tag numbers...
