North Carolina Invests $5.8M in Advanced Weigh Station Tech

North Carolina is investing heavily in their weigh station tech. The state is dropping $5.8 million to rev up two key inspection sites.

• Hendersonville and Halifax County are getting the upgrades
• Quarterhill Inc. landed two contracts for the job

The Tech Highlights

• Weigh-in-motion (WIM) systems
• E-screening for faster processing
• Virtual weigh stations
• License Plate Recognition (LPR)

In addition to all of this, trucks can now be weighed even at highway speeds.

Hendersonville's New Look

• Both east and westbound lanes get WIM + E-screening
• Two new virtual weigh stations added
• Rest areas double as inspection points

Halifax County's Upgrades

• New mainline sorter systems
• Cutting-edge WIM tech
• Tire Anomaly and Classification Systems
• LPR capabilities

All in all, the upgrades hope to boost commercial vehicle safety, speed up driver inspections, and streamline I-95 corridor operations

Chuck Myers, Quarterhill CEO, says:

"We are excited to bring our latest enforcement technology solutions to North Carolina. These projects in Hendersonville and Halifax represent an evolution for the state's operations and emphasize our commitment to advancing road safety and efficiency."

The Bottomline

NC's big investment in tech plans to keep roads safe and trucks moving.
