69 International Road Dynamics (IRD) has been awarded a US$4.9 million contract for weigh-in-motion (WIM) systems installation, maintenance and data services by the 831 Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Infrastructure Research and Development.

The contract is a task-order based, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity agreement covering a sixty-six month period, under which IRD will be issued task orders to provide installation, maintenance, repairs and verification that data collected from the WIM systems at long-term pavement performance (LTPP) test sites across the United States and Canada meet performance specifications for Type I WIM systems.
 
A key factor in understanding pavement performance is having accurate and reliable monitoring traffic data, specifically classification and weight data. The weigh-in-motion (WIM) equipment used to collect this data will be provided and installed by IRD and evaluated and maintained routinely. IRD will also provide the in-depth knowledge and expertise of the WIM equipment and the necessary industry technical resources that are not readily available in-house at FHWA.
