Quarterhill has secured three new project awards worth approximately $2.4 million from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to support commercial vehicle screening and weigh-in-motion (WIM) data collection across key freight corridors in the state.

The projects extend Quarterhill’s partnership with Caltrans and focus on commercial vehicle monitoring, enforcement and traffic data collection.

“California operates one of the largest and most complex freight transportation networks in North America and continues to lead the way in using technology to make its highways safer and more efficient,” Quarterhill CEO Chuck Myers said in a news release.

Quarterhill said it will support three projects in partnership with Caltrans.

At the Desert Hills Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Facility in Riverside County, the company will deploy a commercial vehicle e-screening system designed to help enforcement officers focus inspections on potentially non-compliant vehicles while allowing compliant trucks to move more efficiently through the site.

The system is intended to improve enforcement efficiency and reduce congestion at the facility.

Infrastructure monitoring

A second project on Interstate 10 in San Bernardino County will involve the installation of a WIM data collection system to provide vehicle weight and traffic data for infrastructure monitoring, freight planning and transportation system performance analysis.

Installation of that system is expected to begin in late 2026 and includes a six-year warranty.

The third project will expand WIM coverage along Route 805 in San Diego County, a major freight corridor, to improve the availability of commercial vehicle weight and traffic data used in transportation planning and infrastructure monitoring.

Quarterhill said the projects are intended to strengthen California’s commercial vehicle monitoring and data infrastructure across its highway network.
