OREGON GREEN LIGHT PROJECT
The Oregon Green Light Pilot Project was initiated in 1995 to deploy semi-automated pre-clearance weigh stations designed to improve the enforcement effectiveness of existing weigh station facilities. IRD provides service and maintenance to all of the Green Light sites, as well as several data collection sites in the state.
A typical Oregon Green Light enforcement facility includes a pre-clearance/sorting system on the mainline employing weigh-in-motion (WIM) scales, and pole-mounted automatic vehicle identification (AVI) readers that interface with State computer databases. The pre-clearance system is capable of checking the compliance of commercial vehicle configuration, axle weights, and the credential records related to vehicle specific registration, tax payments, and safety as the vehicle approaches the weigh station. Upon processing the vehicle information, the driver is signaled with an in-cab device to either bypass (green light), or report (red light) to the weigh station.
NEW YORK
IRD currently maintains twenty-six (26) permanent Counting and Classification Data Collection sites for the State of New York Department of Transportation (DOT). This is a long-term service and maintenance program with the State DOT that will provide operational readiness of 95% or better from the Data Collection systems. Phase II of the project, to service and maintain forty-five (45) existing Data Collection sites, has been ongoing since contract award.
Performance Based Contracts ensure that a contractor has an obligation to maintain a level of operational readiness to a specified minimum level of performance during the term of the contract. From the owner's perspective, they want to ensure that the contractor or operator is living up to their performance obligations and will only compensate them for the quality of data obtained.
