The evaluation included an analysis of the data from the six existing sites; the current and future data needs; the existing highway system and related truck traffic stream; statistical sampling techniques; and procedures for economic design sample distribution. The emphasis of the evaluation was on the data capture, data reduction and archiving procedures to satisfy the internal and external reporting requirements and planning, design and maintenance needs of the Department. The evaluation resulted in a Truck Weighing Program that would increase the number of weigh-in-motion sites from six to twenty-six. These sites would be distributed across the State so as to capture the variability in the truck traffic stream from interstate to farm-to-market road classes, from high to low percentage of heavy trucks, and from region to region.
