摘要: This document is the third of five evaluation reports for the Advantage I-75 Mainline Automated Clearance Systems (MACS) on the performance and productivity of weigh stations along the I-75/Highway 401 corridor between Ontario and Florida. The vision of the Advantage I-75 program is to incorporate existing technologies into an ITS operational setting that will provide an initial step in the process of adapting the nation's highway systems to accommodate the increased demands placed on it. A field operational test entitled Mainline Automated Clearance Systems (MACS) was designed and implemented for the Advantage I-75 program. The objective of the MACS operational test was to allow transponder-equipped trucks to travel any segment of the entire length of I-75 and Highway 401 at mainline speeds with no more than a single stop at a weigh station. The purpose of this part of the evaluation is to determine if mainline electronic clearance produces significant travel time savings for motor carriers. The data collection procedure used to make this determination was designed by Iowa State University. The prescribed method was to position recorders at the entrance point of the weigh station, at the static scale and at the exit point of the weigh station. The recorders, equipped with stop watches, then recorded the time each truck crossed the specific point. Mainline speeds were also recorded. The difference in time between the commercial vehicle in the weigh station, and one on the mainline was the estimated time savings attributable to being electronically screened on the mainline.
