This paper documents studies of three congested weigh stations. At each station current operating policy and traffic levels result in frequent occasions where the queue of trucks threatens to back up onto the highway, and the scales must be closed to avoid overflow. Overweight trucks and trucks with safety or credential problems may be missed when that happens. At each station, some alternate configurations have been proposed to solve the current problem and deal with anticipated increases in truck traffic. The studies provide one way of analyzing the proposed improvements. The studies used the Westa (Weigh Station) simulation model to represent the current and alternate scenarios.
