The state of Arkansas has contracted with Quarterhill to install sensor-based and AI technologies that will be used to automate some truck inspection functions. The $2.7 million project will be deployed on I-40 at Lehi and on I-55 at Marion.
These systems include:
- Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) sensors to capture truck weights at highway speeds.
- Tire Anomaly Classification System (TACS) for real-time detection of unsafe tire conditions such as low pressure, missing tires, or mismatched sizes.
- License Plate Recognition (LPR), Department of Transportation (DOT) Checks, and Intelligent Roadside Operations Computer (iROC) to verify vehicle credentials instantly.
- Fully integrated dynamic message boards to guide drivers who need further inspection.
“Partnering with Quarterhill allows us to bring cutting-edge tools to two of Arkansas’ most important freight gateways,” said Jeff Holmes, Chief of Arkansas Highway Police. “These upgrades will strengthen enforcement, improve roadway safety, and keep goods moving efficiently across our state and beyond. This initiative is a win for our economy, drivers, and communities.”
