Abstract

The BC Ferry Corporation operates a number of ferry crossings that connect the mainland to Vancouver Island. Between Tsawwassen and Swartz Bay alone, there are more than 10,000 commercial and oversize vehicles using BC Ferries each month. This large number of vehicles requires organized and efficient management to maintain ferry schedules while transporting the maximum number of vehicles per trip. In order to increase the efficiency of the ferry system, an Electronic Vehicle Monitoring Station (EVMS) is being developed that will include an Automatic Vehicle Indentification (AVI) system, a Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) system, a static weigh scale, and the Automatic Vehicle Dimension Measurement System (AVDMS) which will Measurement System (AVDMS) which will automatically measure the dimensions of vehicles. This paper will describe these systems. (A)
