Abstract

A new technology known as Virtual Weigh Stations (VWS) is intended to transform data-collecting weigh-in-motion (WIM) sites to weight enforcement mechanisms. This study investigates the possible benefits to the highway pavements in California from potential use of VWS. The investigation proceeded in two steps: (1) determining the damage currently caused by overweight trucks and (2) modeling the potential pavement life saved with VWS. The data used for analysis is from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) WIM database.
