Recent developments in high-resolution vehicle trajectory data have\u0000enabled transportation professionals to observe real-world detouring behaviors\u0000without the need to install and maintain hardware such as license plate reading\u0000cameras. This paper investigates the feasibility of vehicle probe trajectory\u0000data to capture commercial motor vehicle (CMV) detouring behavior under three\u0000unique case studies. Before doing so, a validation analysis was conducted to\u0000investigate the ability of CMV probe trajectory data to represent overall CMV\u0000volumes at well-calibrated count stations near virtual weigh stations (VWS) in\u0000Maryland.
