Joint MnDOT/LRRB Research

This project would take the work started in the "Development of a Weigh-Pad-Based Portable Weigh-In-Motion System" (Report 201238) and put it into practice. Issues to be research would include development of a calibration proceedure or process. Long-term ruggedness of the sensors and the system. Applicability to extrapolate the short-term class and weight data out to develop annual numbers. Evaluate the use of this as a mobile enforcement tool.
