Quarterhill Inc announced it has been awarded a contract, through Coviello Electric, Inc. to support the expansion of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation ("MassDOT") Weigh-in-Motion ("WIM") infrastructure program. Under the agreement, valued at approximately $6.4 million, Quarterhill will oversee the installation of 15 new WIM stations and the deployment of a comprehensive WIM and commercial vehicle compliance software platform across key interstate and state highway corridors.
Working in partnership with MassDOT, Quarterhill will furnish and oversee the installation of WIM sensors, vehicle identification, tire anomaly, and associated roadside equipment across MassDOT Districts 1 through 5. The project includes installations along Interstates 84, 90, 91, 93, 95, 195, 290, 295, 395, 495, and Routes 3, 24, and 146.
The project also includes provisions for forward looking software solutions to enable integration with existing MassDOT systems and lays the foundation for future freight corridor management.
"As freight volumes increase, transportation agencies are prioritizing investments in advanced roadside intelligence technologies to secure real-time, accurate vehicle data solutions," said Chuck Myers, CEO of Quarterhill. "We are pleased to support MassDOT's efforts by delivering a scalable WIM deployment that improves roadway safety, strengthens data visibility, enhances enforcement capabilities, and supports long-term transportation planning."
The WIM stations will provide detailed commercial vehicle weight, tire safety, and traffic data to support infrastructure monitoring and enforcement efforts. By helping identify overweight and non-compliant vehicles more efficiently, the system supports more focused enforcement while enabling smoother movement for compliant freight traffic.
In addition to installation and system integration, Quarterhill will provide calibration, testing, training, and ongoing operations and maintenance services throughout the contract term to help ensure long-term system performance and data accuracy.
Quarterhill partners with transportation agencies across North America to deliver integrated commercial vehicle data and screening technologies that support roadway safety, freight mobility, and infrastructure protection. This collaboration further reinforces the Company's role as a long-term technology partner to state DOTs advancing modern, data-driven transportation programs.
