| 摘要： | With over 600 commercial vehicle inspection stations across the USA and the increasing emphasis on safety inspections for commercial routes, there are numerous occasions on which a commercial vehicle driver faces delays en route. Many of the nation's fixed inspection facilities were constructed 20 to 30 years ago. Consequently, the explosive growth in truck traffic has exceeded the station design specifications at many of these inspection stations. As truck arrivals exceed these stations' operational capacities, queues develop and drivers are delayed. Often, the backups require stations to close to avoid safety risks. The national Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) program is designed to address these safety and productivity concerns along with focusing advanced technology on commercial vehicle operations (CVO). One part of this overarching program is to enhance mainline electronic clearance of CVO at the weigh stations. This report is the second part of the Advantage I-75 Mainline Automated Clearance System evaluation. the purpose of this part of the evaluation is to determine if mainline electronic clearance produces significant fuel savings for motor carriers. The test used to make this determination applied accepted Society of Automotive Engineers' (SAE) guidelines. The prescribed method directed one truck to stay on the mainline and the second truck to enter the weigh station. The second truck would then either stop or slow at the scale, depending on the design of the weigh station. The fuel used by each truck was then precisely measured to determine the fuel used by each vehicle. The difference in fuel used was the estimated savings of fuel attributable to a truck bypassing a weigh station. |
