The primary objective of this research was to examine the avoidance of weigh stations in Virginia by overweight trucks. Secondary objectives were (1) to determine the magnitude of overweight truck activity on selected routes and (2) to compare traffic loading data collected using static scales with enforcement with data collected using weigh-in-motion without enforcement. Two weigh stations on 1-81 were studied for weigh station avoidance. It was found that 11 and 14 percent (respectively) of the trucks on routes used to bypass the Stephens City and Troutville stations were overweight. At the Stephens City station, 50 percent of the runbys (which are trucks that travel past the weigh station without being weighed because the entrance lane to the station is filled with a queue of trucks) were overweight on Sunday night. Based on the number and percentage of overweight runbys, there is a need to increase the truck weighing capacity of this weigh station. From 12 to 27 percent of the trucks on two primary routes and one interstate route were overweight. Traffic loadings collected with WIM without enforcement are 30 to 60 percent higher than loadings collected using static scales and enforcement.

It is well established that some truck drivers with overweight vehicles bypass stationary weigh stations to avoid being cited for weight violations or motor carrier safety violations. In 1992 the Virginia Transportation Research Council (VTRC) studied the issue of overweight trucks on Virginia's roadways, publishing reports on the avoidance of weigh stations by overweight trucks, and the use of FHWA's "Traffic Monitoring Guide" to develop a truck weight sampling procedure for use in Virginia. See: The avoidance of weigh stations in Virginia by overweight trucks / Ben Cottrell, 1992, and Using the Traffic monitoring guide to develop a truck weight sampling procedure for use in Virginia / Ben Cottrell, 1992. Research at that time showed that a significant number of trucks on Virginia's roads were overweight, and that many drivers of those trucks sought to avoid existing weigh stations. VTRC recommended that VDOT seek ways to increase capacity at weigh stations to reduce "runbys" and to explore the increased use of Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) equipment as a more practical and effective way to improve enforcement overall. VTRC has not produced any reports on the topic since, though literature searches reveal hundreds of citations to peer-reviewed articles on this topic. The following Research Synthesis Bibliography (RSB) seeks to explore the most relevant research published from 2000-2009 that may inform Virginia's current efforts to enhance enforcement, with a special emphasis on published research and expert presentations from Federal and state agencies. Even limiting our literature searches to the past 9 years reveals an enormous body of published research on WIM and Enforcement overseas. Only carefully selected citations are included in this RSB.
