... development process was to consider an operational definition of truck weight enforcement M.O.E.s. Following this step, the project team developed a set of objective criteria against which to evaluate candidate M.O.E.s.

... Validation A field validation study was conducted to confirm the sensitivity of candidate M.O.E.s to actual truck weight enforcement activity. Candidate M.O.E.s were tested in a four-state evaluation effort that applied matched sets of weigh-in-motion (WIM)

... The results confirmed the validity of the following M.O.E.s: Tandem-axIe Weight Violation Severity, Bridge For~nula Violation Proportion, and Excess ESAL Seventy. Georgia Mobile truck-weight enforcement operations, utilizing an obtrusive portable roadside weigh scale, were conducted at a rum interstate location.
