The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) is seeking proposals for the development, operation, and maintenance of new commercial motor vehicle e-screening system sites, including Virtual Weigh Stations (VWS), thermal brake sensor systems, and tire abnormality detection systems. The selected vendor will be responsible for designing, implementing, integrating, testing, and maintaining new e-screening sites in the State of Delaware, including provisioning of all hardware, software, and ancillary equipment required for a fully functioning system.
