| 摘要： | This study was undertaken to evaluate the feasibility of the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) to institute an automated oversize/overweight (OS/OW) vehicle routing and permitting system. Currently, 2.5 FTE (full-time equivalent) engineers from RIDOT are allocated to the review and management of OS/OW vehicle permits for the State of R.I. These engineers rely mostly on printed maps, bridge tables, basic structural analysis programs, and engineering judgment. As a result, the current process is labor-intensive, time consuming, and prone to human error. Moreover, with limited resources and the continual increase in the number of permit requests, the current OS/OW vehicle permitting process will impose a greater demand on the time and effort of the reviewer. Consequently, the development of an automated system offers several benefits including significant time and cost savings and improved customer service to motor carriers. To confidently establish the feasibility of introducing an automated system, more information regarding the current RIDOT OS/OW permitting process including the interrelations between different RIDOT sections as well as the state-of-the-practice among other states was required. Consequently four specific objectives were outlined: (1) describe in detail the current OS/OW vehicle permitting process used by the RIDOT; (2) gather in-depth expert knowledge of currently maintained databases from various sections within RIDOT; (3) survey other state DOT's, including New England states, about current practices for issuance of OS/OW vehicle permits; and (4) determine the feasibility of and recommend steps for inducing a fully automated OS/OW system. / NOTE: Final rept. / Supplementary Notes: Sponsored by Rhode Island Dept. of Transportation, Providence.
