The 2030 Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) has awarded 69 International Road Dynamics (IRD) a US$3,377,105 contract to maintain and maximize performance of the state-wide weigh-in-motion (WIM) network.

IDOT currently has 34 active IRD WIM systems that will be covered under this agreement. IRD will be responsible for the repair, maintenance, and service activities of the in-road scales and sensors, roadside electronics, queue detection and camera surveillance systems, and PrePass preclearance weighing systems.

This technology allows IDOT and the Illinois State Police to process large volumes of commercial vehicles by improving the efficiency and effectiveness of their weigh station facilities. The trucking industry also realises considerable benefits through the reduction of wait times, fuel costs, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
