Unlike conventional ramp weigh stations, Virtual Weigh Stations and Mainline Weigh-In- Motion (WIM) systems make continuous highway travel possible for trucks that are compliant with weight regulations. This paper focuses on Virtual Weigh Stations, which are increasingly being used to reduce the percentage of overloaded trucks, thereby diminishing excessive vehicle emissions and damage to pavement infrastructure. The Virtual Weigh Station provides a way to unobtrusively monitor commercial vehicle traffic on highways and urban streets. This paper discusses real world applications of the Virtual Weigh Station in diverse locations such as Saskatchewan, Northwest Territories, New York, and Wisconsin.
