Quarterhill lands $5M infrastructure contract in Oklahoma

Quarterhill secured a $5.25 million contract from the Oklahoma Department of Transportation to deploy an intelligent transportation system at a commercial vehicle facility along Interstate 35. The project includes weigh-in-motion, electronic screening systems, mainline and ramp sorter systems, tire classification and dimensioning technology, designed to improve efficiency in commercial vehicle operations. Work on the project is set to begin in August and will support Oklahoma's efforts to modernize freight infrastructure as commercial vehicle traffic continues to grow.

This is the latest in a series of similar contracts for the intelligent transportation technology company across major freight corridors. Earlier in 2026, Quarterhill landed a $6.4 million contract with the Massachusetts Department of Transportation to install 15 weigh-in-motion stations and develop a commercial vehicle compliance software platform. The trend shows state DOTs are increasingly investing in AI-driven inspection and screening systems rather than relying on older manual processes. For owner-operators on I-35 in Oklahoma, this means the weigh station experience will change noticeably over the next year as new technology goes live.

The broader pattern matters for small fleet operators. The weigh station will deploy advanced commercial vehicle screening technologies along I-35, helping manage growing commercial vehicle traffic along one of Oklahoma's busiest freight corridors while improving efficiency, safety and performance. These systems use automated detection for tire anomalies, weight violations, and dimensional issues before drivers even pull into the traditional inspection building. Fleets with equipment maintenance issues or overloads will get caught faster, which is why staying on top of pre-trip inspections and scale verification has never been more important.
