The 7477 Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) in the US has awarded 69 International Road Dynamics (IRD) a US$2,623,703 contract to supply and install a two-sided mainline weigh-in-motion (WIM) and electronic pre-clearance system on Interstate 15 at the Inkom Port of Entry. The contract includes a two-year equipment, software, and database maintenance provision to commence upon completion of the system's installation.

This system will weigh and measure commercial vehicles at highway speeds upstream of the weigh station using IRD's Single Load Cell (SLC) WIM scales. The system will also use an IRD-supplied license plate reader (LPR) and automated vehicle identification (AVI) system in conjunction with the WIM to check vehicle credentials, which will be screened using IRD's intelligent roadside operations computer (iROC).

Terry Bergan, IRD's president and CEO commented: "This project complements the existing ITD deployments previously provided by IRD in Idaho by further expanding the State's network of fully automated weigh station facilities. In addition, IRD will be providing our customer with a comprehensive maintenance package to ensure optimum system performance necessary for a successful safety and enforcement program."
