How are vehicles selected for inspection at Heavy Vehicle Checking Stations?
The process for selecting vehicles for inspection depends on the type of Checking Station. Automated Heavy Vehicle Checking Station: The RTA has equipped its busiest Heavy Vehicle Checking Stations with automated screening lanes. Automated screening lanes use Weigh in Motion, Safe-T-Cam and Truckscan technology to perform the following checks: • Gross mass • Group axle mass • Vehicle height • Speed • Tailgating • Registration status • Defect status • Valid vehicle configuration for road type • Safe-T-Cam sightings for driver fatigue • Non-Compliance history Vehicles which are identified during screening as requiring further attention are diverted into the Weighbridge for inspection by RTA Officers. Attention is given to issues identified during screening, but other checks will also be completed during the inspection, including driver licence and work diary. Vehicles which are not selected for inspection are directed to return to the highway without delay. Manual (Non-Automated) Heavy V
