The Design and Evaluation of a Telematic Automated System of Weight Control for Heavy Vehicles

Abstract

In this article, the authors reviewed the existing system of weight control of heavy vehicles in the Russian Federation. In this research, the main shortcomings of the system, which prevent its effective functioning in relation to the use of road infrastructure, were determined. To solve these problems, we developed a model of the functionality of a telematic automated system of weight control of heavy vehicles, as well as defining the optimization tasks of the transportation process. Mathematical modeling of the operational factors that influence the system of weight control of heavy vehicles on roads was carried out. As a result of the research, the most significant parameters that have the greatest impact on the efficiency of the road were determined. By means of these parameters, it is feasible to choose suitable hardware and equipment for a weight control system. The methodology of developing automatic points for the weight control of heavy loads during road transportation was formulated. As a result of the study, it was concluded that the introduction of a telematic automated system of weight control of heavy vehicles would increase the efficiency of road transport on the highway by positively affecting its basic transport and performance indicators.

Sustainable Operations: A Systematic Operational Performance Evaluation Framework for Public–Private Partnership Transportation Infrastructure Projects

“…Therefore, research on stakeholder satisfaction has become a direction that mainly focuses on the achievement of performance goals of the public sector, private sector, and users [14]. The maintenance of the quality of facilities and equipment and the optimization of the efficiency of facility operations are the main objectives of facility operations, and studies in this area also try to optimize the operational efficiency from different perspectives [31,32]. In terms of sustainability, the study points out that the construction of transportation infrastructure has an impact on the sustainable development of society because of construction investment, resource consumption, pollutant emissions, and positive externalities after completion [26].…”
