Abstract

The Heavy Vehicle Electronic License Plate (HELP) Program and Crescent Demonstration Project, a binational, multistate cooperative study and demonstration project involving government and industry, is discussed. The project, which involves 14 US states, a Canadian province, one US port authority, and national transportation agencies and trucking industry representatives of both Canada and the US, is investigating technologies that have the potential to provide an integrated heavy vehicle management system with applications to both highway and vehicle systems. An overview of the program and the components of the implementation plan is provided. Potential applications are discussed.<>
