  1. COORDINATED ENFORCEMENTWORKSHOP AASHTO Subcommittee on Highway Transport June 6-9, 2010 Portland, Maine

  2. BACKGROUND • 2006 European Scan Tour • Commercial Motor Vehicle Size and Weight Enforcement in Europe • http://international.fhwa.dot.gov/links/pub_details.cfm?id=554 • Effective Use of Weigh-in-motion Data:The Netherlands Case Study • http://international.fhwa.dot.gov/pubs/pl07028/pl07028.pdf • VSW Management Technology Transfer/Best Practices • http://144.171.11.40/cmsfeed/TRBNetProjectDisplay.asp?ProjectID=2335

  3. EUROPEAN APPROACH Technology COMPLIANCE Enforcement Prevention Harmonization

  4. SIZE ENFORCEMENT • Technology-based Policies/Procedures • Infrastructure preservation • Switzerland, The Netherlands protect critical tunnels • Pre-selection for manual enforcement • Germany, combined with Toll Collect system • Direct enforcement • Switzerland, combined with fixed weigh facilities

  5. SUPPORTING TECHNOLOGIES 

  6. SUPPORTING TECHNOLOGIES • Overheight Vehicle Detection System

  7. SUPPORTING TECHNOLOGIES • Vehicle Profiler System

  8. SUPPORTING TECHNOLOGIES • Vehicle Identification System

  9. BENEFITS • Higher volume of CMVs monitored, processed • More efficient use of personnel • Increased accuracies, certainty in court • Significant infrastructure damage cost savings • Reduced congestion, harmful emissions U.S. OPPORTUNITIES • Size Enforcement • Overheight vehicle detection system • Nearly half of all U.S. States currently report using • Expanded use • Vehicle profiler system • Supplemental to existing fixed weigh/toll facilities • Installed concurrently with new toll facilities

  10. WEIGHT ENFORCEMENT • Technology-based Policies/Procedures • Pre-selection for manual enforcement • Various countries, supports mobile and fixed operations • Enforcement resource scheduling • France, Slovenia, The Netherlands utilize historic WIM datato direct mobile enforcement • Preventative carrier contacts • France, The Netherlands target habitually non-compliant carriers

  11. WEIGHT ENFORCEMENT • Bypass prevention • France, The Netherlands support: • site selection • site level system plans • Direct enforcement • France, The Netherlands leading efforts • Low-speed and high-speed WIM • Attaining sufficient WIM system accuracy levels • Gaining metrological certification • Modifying existing laws that require static measurements

  12. WEIGHT ENFORCEMENT • WIM System Calibration • Continuous calibration • France, The Netherlands, during scheduled enforcement • Quality assurance • The Netherlands issues QA Statement with every data request • Number of axles measured • Period of measure • Inaccuracy

  13. SUPPORTING TECHNOLOGIES 

  14. SUPPORTING TECHNOLOGIES • In-road WIM System

  15. SUPPORTING TECHNOLOGIES • Bridge WIM System

  16. SUPPORTING TECHNOLOGIES • Archived Records Database

  17. U.S. OPPORTUNITIES • Weight Enforcement • Pre-selection for manual enforcement • Expanded use at fixed weigh facilities • Mobile operations • Enforcement resource scheduling • MT, IN, MN • Preventative carrier contacts • Model after FMCSA’s Compliance Review process • TRB’s Motor Vehicle Size and Weight Committee (AT055) promoting shipper/carrier education regarding weight compliance Virtual weigh stations are proliferating in the U.S. as a cost-effective alternative to fixed weigh facilities.

  18. BENEFITS • Increased violation capture rates • Reduced fixed facility demand • Reduced harmful emissions from static weighing process • Reduced resource-intensive field calibration • Enhanced data quality • Significant infrastructure damage cost savings U.S. OPPORTUNITIES • Direct enforcement • Low speed WIM • Supplemental to fixed weigh facilities • Continuous WIM calibration • Integrated into routine enforcement operations

  19. SPECIAL TRANSPORTS • Technology-based Policies/Procedures • Self Permitting/Routing • Switzerland provides self-routing website • Bridge Safety Assessment • France, Slovenia use measuredstructure response, traffic data • Remote Field Verification of Permits • Slovenia, The Netherlands compare in-field measurements to permit on file

  20.  SUPPORTING TECHNOLOGIES

  21. SUPPORTING TECHNOLOGIES • Advanced Routing/Permitting System

  22. BENEFITS • Increased personnel efficiency, cost-effectiveness • Increased bridge safety accuracy • Increased permit violation capture rates • Significant infrastructure damage cost savings • Reduced congestion, harmful emissions U.S. OPPORTUNITIES • Special Transports • Advanced routing and permitting systems • CA, CO, GA, LA, NY, OK, RI, SD, TN, TX, WI • Increasing sophistication for routing functions • More robust infrastructure data • Improved bridge safety assessments • Field tests of bridge WIM in AL, CT

  23. EUROPEAN APPROACH • Unique Partnerships • Similar agencies of different jurisdictional levels • National and regional law enforcement agencies • Different agencies • Transportation • Law enforcement • Regulatory • Prosecution In The Netherlands, the Ministry of Transport funds 100 additional limited capacity National Police Agency officers who focus 40% and 60% of their time on weight enforcement and congestion/incident management activities, respectively.
