It’s about compliance and safety. Not enforcement.

The principal aim of a successful truck enforcement program is not to catch offenders. The aim is compliance — and improved road safety.

The goal of successful enforcement programs is to not catch offenders. Despite public perception, and among the mainstream media, revenue-raising is not the primary aim of enforcement. The aim is compliance — and improved road safety.

Case studies demonstrate how the introduction of commercial vehicle enforcement tech, or compliance tech, has had a positive influence on operator and fleet safety standards. Over time,the number of citations has decreased significantly. Drivers and fleet owners/operators come to understand that not complying is simply not worth it.

Not all failures to meet regulations are due to criminality or willful dismissal of what should be done. Often, it is the result of lax behavior which needs to be rectified—to ensure that a vehicle is safe to use is not time wasted, or one could think of it as time better spent doing more important things.

THE TECH:

Improved compliance. Thanks to tech.

Virtual Weigh-In-Motion (VWIM) stations can improve compliance across a wider geographic area, as well as flag an wide variety of infringements and safety hazards. They can dramatically increase the distances at which pre-screening can be successfully and consistently carried out, extending the efficiencies and capabilities of enforcement officials, whose numbers and availability can often be limited. 

VWIM can also be used to solve a long-standing problem associated with weight enforcement—avoidance of inspection by choosing alternatives to primary and preferred routes.

The result is weight-compliant vehicles constrained to those routes and road structures designed to carry them, and far less damage to secondary and tertiary roads by large, illegally operating vehicles.

THE RESULT:

Virtual weigh stations. No need for inspection stops. 

Quarterhill’s Virtual Weigh Station combine VWIM with other technologies to deliver even more vehicle safety information to enforcement personnel without requiring stops for inspection.

For instance, over-dimension vehicles are a major safety concern for many agencies. They can damage bridges, cause accidents and disrupt traffic flow. Over-height, over-width, and over-length detection using vehicle dimensioning technology is an effective way to reduce bridge strikes by those vehicles.

A virtual weigh station that incorporates vehicle dimensioning improves road safety and helps prevent costly damage to bridges, vehicles, and their drivers. Enforcement agencies can monitor for vehicles that pose a risk so those vehicles can be stopped before they do any damage.

  • Tire Anomaly Classification System (TACS) for real-time detection of unsafe tire conditions.
  • License Plate Recognition (LPR), Department of Transportation (DOT) Checks, and Intelligent Roadside Operations Computer (iROC) to verify vehicle credentials instantly.
  • Fully Integrated Dynamic Message Boards to guide drivers who need further inspection.

"This project demonstrates how technical innovation and collaboration can solve real-world challenges in freight management and strengthen Arkansas' position as a national leader in freight movement," said Quarterhill CEO Chuck Myers. "By working hand in hand with ARDOT and the Arkansas Highway Police, we are ensuring that Arkansas' highways remain safe, efficient, and capable of supporting growth in interstate commerce for decades to come."

The modernized systems will help Arkansas address increasing freight volume at one of America's busiest trucking corridors while supporting ARDOT's broader mission to deliver safer, smarter, and more sustainable transportation infrastructure. The project underscores the importance of technology-driven solutions for freight corridors where expansion is challenging, but traffic volumes continue to grow. As interstate commerce continues to surge, these upgrades will ensure Arkansas remains at the forefront of efficient, safe freight movement.

"Partnering with Quarterhill allows us to bring cutting-edge tools to two of Arkansas' most important freight gateways," said Jeff Holmes, Chief of Arkansas Highway Police. "These upgrades will strengthen enforcement, improve roadway safety, and keep goods moving efficiently across our state and beyond. This initiative is a win for our economy, drivers, and communities."

This project underscores Quarterhill's commitment to working closely with transportation agencies nationwide to deliver cutting-edge ITS solutions to today's most pressing mobility challenges.

Safer bike lanes across Amsterdam. Thanks to radars and accurate data collection.

Multisensors integrates the Icoms TMA-3B3 radar/lidar bicycle counter into its Signum solution used by the City of Amsterdam for high-quality bicycle data.

Cycling is synonymous with daily European life—especially in Amsterdam, where 400,000 cyclists ride to their destinations every day. However, where there are cities full of cyclists, there’s congestion. Our Dutch partner, Multisensors, asked Ewald Dijkstra, Senior Advisor of Mobility Research at the City of Amsterdam, what challenges they face in the field of bicycle mobility, and why they chose the Signum bicycle counter to help solve the problem.

THE TASK:

Quality bicycle data collection. Essential to solving congestion.

Dijkstra pointed out that while motorized traffic is fairly well known, there is very little data on bicycle traffic, and what does exist—in the way of data—consists mostly of snapshots. He explained that the tech used so far, such as induction loops or pneumatic tubes, are unreliable or too fragile for permanent use. The Amsterdam municipality needs an accurate picture (as opposed to snapshots), based on reliable data, of the actual bicycle congestion across the city. The challenge is to understand the bottlenecks and make the cycle paths safer by optimizing the flow of cyclists.

THE TEST:

Studies conducted. Radars tested. 

Dijkstra conducted a comparative study at a test site and found that the Signum radar was more reliable than manual counting. The accuracy is well over 90%, even during peak hours and bicycle congestion. The data (volume, speed, direction) is naturally anonymous and accessible online in real time. A game, and accurate-data-collecting-changer. 

THE TECH:

Icoms Signum Radars. Doppler and Lidar tech.

The tech behind Icoms Signum is the TMA-3B3, designed and manufactured in Belgium by Icoms Detections, with multi sensors that integrate into a customized housing. This sensor combines a Doppler radar and a lidar. The lidar helps separate individual bicycles from groups, making the product particularly accurate in counting.

The radar communicates with a modem via an RS-232 link, and a solar panel makes it autonomous and functional 24/7/365, enabling continuous measurement. This allows the city of Amsterdam to understand the relative ridership at the various measurement points, considering external factors influencing bicycle traffic, such as periodic events or weather conditions.
