Oregon Green Light CVO Evaluation: Final Report

Abstract:

This report is the Executive Summary for the independent technical evaluation of the Oregon Green Light CVO project. The Oregon DOT is near completion of the implementation of their Intelligent Vehicle Highway System Strategic Plan for Commercial Vehicle Operations (now referred to as ITS/CVO). Through Green Light, Oregon has installed twenty-one mainline systems featuring weigh-in-motion (WIM) devices and automatic vehicle identification (AVI) at the major weigh stations and ports-of-entry in the state. In addition, certain sites have been equipped with safety enhancements that regulate road conditions and speed. Examples are the Downhill Speed Information System at Emigrant Hill, and the installation of weather stations at three other locations. Objective 1.2 was to determine the change in truck behavior due to the Road Weather Information System.
