The Advantage I-75 Mainline Automated Clearance System Project (MACS) demonstrates and evaluates the feasibility of electronic clearance at weigh stations along the Interstate Highway 75 corridor. The test involves participants from government and industry. Government participants include the states of Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, the Province of Ontario, Canada, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and Transport Canada. Industry participants included the American Trucking Associations, the National Private Truck Council, the Ontario Trucking Association, state trucking associations along the corridor, and individual motor carriers who travel along the corridor. The evaluation consists of four tests to determine the effectiveness of electronic clearance of commercial vehicles at weigh stations. These tests are a fuel consumption test, a weigh station throughput test, a simulation model, and an examination of jurisdictional issues. A report evaluating the Advantage I-75 MACS system prepared by the University of Kentucky, Kentucky Transportation Center with input from CTRE, is submitted separately.
