The Third National Conference on Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) was held to share information and experience on this rapidly advancing technology. The first such conference was held in Denver, Colorado in 1983 and explored the technology in its infancy. The Conference looked ahead to experimentation, testing, and demonstrating the capabilities of WIM. A second conference was held in Atlanta, Georgia in 1985. WIM use and interest had grown from a handful of states to a majority of states and the conference looked ahead to the use of WIM data for enforcement, design, and pavement management.
The third national conference on WIM was attended by representatives from all 50 states and eight foreign countries. Presentations and demonstrations clearly revealed wide spread acceptance and use of WIM for both enforcement of vehicle weight laws, pavement design, and management.
