69 International Road Dynamics (IRD) arrives in San Jose celebrating its latest contract win - a US$2.6 million deal with Oklahoma Department of Transportation. This will see IRD build, implement and maintain a smart port-of-entry (PoE) electronic screening system for northbound commercial vehicles on Interstate-35 in Love County.

The new installation includes IRD's weigh-in-motion and intelligent Roadside Operation Credentialing (iROC) system. This system utilises license plate reader and USDoT reader technology, vehicle dimensioning, integrated static scale, video verification, vehicle movement compliance and operational and reporting software. Once in operation, the system will allow trucks complying with the weight, dimensions and credentials regulations to bypass the PoE at highway speeds and so reduce the number required to stop at the inspection station.
