Increased freight and demand for information on commercial vehicles require new and innovative approaches to improving and addressing the safety and operational efficiency of today transportation infrastructure. Furthermore, these new approaches facilitate the integration of ground transportation into the emerging inter-modal challenge.

Weigh in Motion technologies have improved the throughput of weigh stations. The Virtual and remotely operated weigh station is an emerging concept that potentially offers a more complete coverage of compliance issues as well as addressing new highway infrastructure demands.

This conference is intended to disseminate information related to research and applications of virtual and remotely-operated weigh stations including hardware, software, policy issues, installation, and case studies. A parallel exhibition of hardware and software will serve to facilitate information exchange between users and industry vendors.
