In 1987 the Oregon Department of Transportation automated the new Woodburn port of entry (POE), located on Interstate Highway 5 southbound at milepost 274.40. The reasons were to minimize weighmaster and public utility commission tasks; improve weight, size, and safety enforcement; provide more data for planning and design purposes; maximize Weighmaster resources; improve tax collection and audit capabilities; and save time for the trucking industry. Automation of the Woodburn southbound POE interfaced six components: (a) weigh-in-motion sorter scales, (b) automatic vehicle identification system, (c) electronic static scales, (d) supervisory computer, (e) various software interfaces, and (f) motor carrier data base. The findings from this automation on the basis of 5 years of operation show improvements and cost savings in (a) weighmaster functions, (b) performance measures, (c) POE operations and functions, (d) human resources deployment, (e) data collection, (f) tax audit trails, (g) tax collection, and (h) the private motor carrier industry.
