California and New Jersey Enhance Trucking Management with Data Technology
Transportation departments in California and New Jersey are advancing their management of the heavy-duty trucking industry by implementing enhanced data collection systems. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has signed a $2.4 million agreement with Quarterhill Inc. to deploy weigh-in-motion (WIM) data collection programs across three new projects in Southern California. These projects aim to improve freight logistics by providing detailed vehicle weight and traffic data. Similarly, the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) has partnered with Quarterhill to maintain and oversee New Jersey's network of WIM stations and Traffic Volume System sites. These initiatives are part of a broader effort to leverage technology, including AI and machine learning, to improve transportation network efficiency and infrastructure planning.
