Figure 7: Dual enforcement/prevention approach.

Diagram of the dual enforcement/prevention approach. At the lower left corner of the diagram is a circle labeled "current situation-less than 5 percent of trucks controlled, incidental use of WIM technology, and focus on enforcement." At the upper right is a circle labeled "future situation-more than 95 percent of trucks controlled, intelligent enforcement mix, and focus on prevention and enforcement." An arrow from current situation to future situation is labeled "prevention" and includes the following steps: problem solving, company visits, quality control, incentives, and new technologies. Another arrow from current situation to future situation is labeled enforcement and has the following steps: manual selection, planning and statistics, preselection, problem solving, direct enforcement, and intelligence.
