Title
PrePass
Description
PrePass is an automatic vehicle identification (AVI) system that allows participating transponder equipped commercial vehicles to bypass designated weigh stations, port-of-entry facilities and agricultural interdiction facilities. Cleared vehicles may proceed at highway speed, eliminating the need to stop. That means greater efficiency for shippers and improved safety for all highway users.
Participating vehicles are pre-certified. Carrier's safety record and credentials are routinely verified with state & federal agencies. Some PrePass weigh stations employ weigh-in-motion (WIM) scales to electronically weigh the vehicles while AVI antennas verify the identity and compliance of trucks as they approach the weigh station. As a truck passes over the WIM, its axles and gross weight are calculated and the AVI integrates the PrePass transponder verifying state requirements. The AVI antenna also communicates bypass status to the driver. If weight and credentials are satisfactory, a green light and audible signal from the PrePass transponder advise the driver to bypass the weigh station. Otherwise a red light and audible signal advise the driver to pull into the weigh station.
