摘要：	States have the responsibility of carefully monitoring commercial vehicles. Commercial vehicles must be registered in states where they intend to operate. Then the operators of these vehicles are required to pay the appropriate registration fees and taxes and abide by state and federal safety regulations. Various enforcement techniques are used to insure that commercial vehicle operators are abiding by these rules and regulations. Most states use some combination of fixed inspection stations and mobile enforcement teams to accomplish this task. Mobile teams typically consist of temporary roadside inspection locations and/or roving patrols. These different enforcement methods are used to target as many commercial vehicles as possible. For instance, fixed stations are located on major roadways where commercial vehicle traffic is heavy. Temporary locations and roving patrols are used in areas where there is no fixed station and enforcement is still needed. The commercial vehicle traffic is typically not as heavy in these locations. There are a couple of problems associated with these enforcement methods. Commercial vehicle operators with a known violation are likely to take an alternate route to avoid fixed stations. So although many commercial vehicles are monitored at fixed stations, few violations are identified. Mobile enforcement teams are intended to target commercial vehicles that are intentionally avoiding the fixed stations or don’t routinely pass a fixed station. Fewer commercial vehicles are monitored in this way, but a higher percentage of violations are identified. A mobile enforcement team becomes ineffective, however, when commercial vehicle operators use their radio to inform others of the enforcement presence. The Remote Monitoring System (RMS) was developed to supplement commercial vehicle monitoring programs. The RMS is an image capture system that takes images of commercial vehicles and sends them to a nearby weigh station. The RMS is working 24 hours a day. Therefore, in a sense, it is a “fixed” station. Commercial vehicle operators can’t be sure when the system is being monitored however. The system is relatively inexpensive and can be deployed at a variety of locations. The RMS is comparable to a surveillance system within a large office building or mall. One or two security guards can sit in one location and monitor the entire building using remote cameras. Once a problem is identified, an officer may be dispatched to the location. With the RMS, when a potential safety or registration violation is identified, an officer is sent to intercept the vehicle.
