Drivewyze

Drivewyze is an intelligent transportation system (ITS) service that provides bypasses to commercial vehicles as they approach participating state highway weigh stations. The participating vehicles' safety record, credentials and weight are verified automatically, and if they comply with that state's screening rules for automated bypass, the vehicles are authorized to bypass these facilities rather than pull in for manual inspection. This results in time and fuel savings for the truck and less vehicle congestion at the weigh station.

Drivewyze is currently available at over 800 facilities in 46 American states and two Canadian provinces. More sites are scheduled to be added.

Technology and functionality
The equipment on the commercial vehicle or truck can be either the driver's smartphone or an electronic on-board recorder (EOBR) / electronic logging device (ELD). The device is usually mounted on the dashboard of the truck. As a vehicle approaches a participating inspection or weigh station, the device communicates with the Drivewyze server via the cellular phone network and requests a bypass for the vehicle. Information associated with the device is then validated against state-required safety and credentials requirements. Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) technology is also used at some locations to verify the truck’s configuration and ensure its axle and gross vehicle weight are within acceptable limits.

Enrollment qualifications
To enroll in Drivewyze, a driver or carrier must submit an application and provide license plate and USDOT number credentials.
