摘要：	The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT) has a long history of using weigh in motion (WIM) technology for planning purposes when designing roadways. Data is collected at various Strategic Highway Research Project (SHRP) sites throughout the state. WIM technology is also used within the DOT by the Division of State Patrol for weight enforcement of commercial motor vehicles. Four of their Safety and Weight Enforcement Facilities are equipped with WIM technology for commercial vehicle enforcement. Over the last several years the Division of State Patrol has been researching the feasibility of using the SHRP sites as a screening tool for commercial vehicle enforcement. To date, the Planning Section of the Department has been reluctant to allow shared use of these sites. They feel that if enforcement is using these sites, word would get out among carriers and they would avoid or divert from these locations. This would then result in the data collected from these sites being corrupted (i.e., not showing an accurate sampling of what is actually occurring on the roadways). There are agencies across the United States which have found ways of sharing the technology and data generated from SHRP sites. For example, Michigan has demonstrated how planning and enforcement can effectively use the same resources for varied purposes. They have experienced successful enforcement results without adverse effects on the data collected for planning. In light of financial and personnel constraints facing agencies today, it is important to search for innovative ways to pool available resources in order to achieve desired results. States must look beyond the traditional methods of operation in order to maximize success.
