Project Summary

Caltrans is developing a test facility to evaluate existing, new, and emerging hardware and software for Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) and Virtual Weigh-in-Motion (VWIM) systems.Â Caltrans will develop a 'center of excellence' at a university or other location to evaluate the results of these evaluations and mine additional information from the raw test data and from WIM data gathered throughout California.Â This Planning Project will be Phase 1 of the overall development of the test facility.Â Phase 1 will conduct the planning and evaluation activities that will ultimately lead to the development of WIM/ VWIM test facility.Â
