The report will be of special interest to transportation administrators, operations engineers, and researchers involved in highway planning and design, weight enforcement, and automatic clearance of trucks through weigh stations and ports of entry; and to long-haul and variable-rout motor carriers who need on-demand communication and truck location information for fleet and driver management. Information on the technical, operational, and economic aspects of a national heavy vehicle monitoring system are provided. Data from market surveys, literature reviews, interviews, field observations, and statutes and case law reviews provide the basis for the research findings on the feasibility of developing a national heavy-vehicle monitoring system that is capable of meeting the needs of federal, state, local, and private concerns. The availability and application of new technologies form the basis for many of the recommendations presented in the report. The authors conclude that a national heavy-vehicle monitoring system is feasible if it is organized as a set of coordinated and voluntary systems, rather than a single mandatory system.
