Project / Program purpose and objectives The Innovative Technology Deployment project will implement two Automated Weigh Station Screening Systems. One located at the Lima Weigh Station and the other at the Broadus Weigh Station. The project will deploy cameras and other technology supported by wireless communications at Lima and Broadus to conduct real-time truck, driver, and carrier screening. The screening system will focus officer resources on non-compliant motor vehicles, carriers, and drivers and allow compliant CMVs to pass through the weigh station.

Project / Program purpose and objectives MDT intends to implement a new Safety Information Management System to replace our current solution. 23 U.S.C. 148 requires all state DOTs to have a tool to analyze and evaluate crash data and identify potential mitigation projects. There is a need to modernize the current system and the plan is to leverage the AASHTOWare solution used by other State DOT’s. The AASHTOWare product is a collaborative software solution developed under the guidance and direction of state DOT SME’s and is managed in an environment that supports DOT specific business requirements. The current system has limited capabilities and is not supported and maintained at the level required for MDT to continue to improve its traffic safety analysis capabilities.
