Two Canadian companies — International Road Dynamics Inc. and Quarterhill Inc. – have won a $6.4 million contract to supply 12 electronic complexes capable of weighing trucks as they travel down highways. In an effort to get overloaded trucks off the roads, the World Bank is largely paying for the Weight in Motion systems. The systems weigh and ticket drivers, minimizing the human interface. Reflecting the amount of money traditionally made by extorting drivers, a group of police officers attacked a rival police group early Wednesday morning at an Odesa highway weigh station. Five cars were damaged and three men went to the hospital.
