Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Wireless Roadside Inspection (WRI) Program is demonstrating the feasibility and value of electronically assessing truck and coach driver and vehicle safety at least 25 times more often than is possible using only roadside physical inspections. The WRI program is evaluating the potential benefits to both the motor carrier industry and to government. Potential benefits include reduction in accidents, fatalities and injuries on our highways and keeping safe and legal drivers and vehicles moving on the highways. Wireless Roadside Inspection pilot tests were conducted to prototype, test, and demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of electronically collecting safety data messages from in-service commercial vehicles and performing wireless roadside inspections using three different communication systems, Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC), Commercial Mobile Radio Services (CMRS), and Universal Identification. This report documents the evaluation of the Wireless Roadside Inspection Program Phase II pilot testing evaluated by the University of Tennessee, under contract from the National Transportation Research Center, Inc. and funded by the Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA) of the USDOT.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TRB's Commercial Truck and Bus Safety Synthesis Program (CTBSSP) Synthesis 10: Alternative Truck and Bus Inspection Strategies explores the characteristics of the various types of alternative commercial truck and bus inspection strategies currently being used by law enforcement agencies. The synthesis examines how vehicles are selected for inspection; how, when, and where vehicles are inspected; and the consequences of violations. The synthesis also provides information on the effectiveness of the inspection strategies, documenting benefits such as reduced costs and improved resource allocation.

This book was released on 2001-12-16 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emissions inspection and maintenance (I/M) programs subject vehicles to periodic inspections of their emission control systems. Despite widespread use of these programs in air-quality management, policy makers and the public have found a number of problems associated with them. Prominent among these issues is the perception that emissions benefits and other impacts of I/M programs have not been evaluated adequately. Evaluating Vehicle Emissions Inspection and Maintenance Programs assesses the effectiveness of these programs for reducing mobile source emissions. In this report, the committee evaluates the differences in the characteristics of motor vehicle emissions in areas with and without I/M programs, identifies criteria and methodologies for their evaluation, and recommends improvements to the programs. Most useful of all, this book will help summarize the observed benefits of these programs and how they can be redirected in the future to increase their effectiveness.
Download or read book Technical Report for Kentucky Commercial Vehicle Safety Application Evaluation written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An advanced-technology Integrated Safety and Security Enforcement System (ISSES), now deployed at three commercial vehicle inspection sites along interstate highways in Kentucky, was evaluated from the point of view of system performance, potential effects on inspection selection efficiency (choosing the highest-risk trucks from the stream of commerce), user acceptance, and costs. Overall, despite the fact that commercial vehicle law enforcement staffing levels in Kentucky did not allow for full-time, dedicated use of the ISSES by inspectors at the time of the evaluation, the subsystems that were under evaluation in this task were found to be performing effectively in a stand-alone mode. The ISSES software and components now deployed, though operational, are considered to be in a development mode. The roadside system was not yet integrated with instate or national databases of historical safety information on carriers or vehicles, so the ISSES was not able to provide instant, actionable historical information that the inspectors could apply in their decision-making. Such integration has the potential, if implemented, to afford significant benefits in vehicle screening and safety enforcement. Kentucky's current inspection selection methods were compared with potential applications of ISSES technology across a set of scenarios, used to model improvements in commercial vehicle safety. Applying various combinations of inspection selection strategies and available or envisioned technologies for real-time vehicle identification and safety information exchange at the roadside, in a hypothetical statewide deployment supporting about 44,000 vehicle inspections and 86,000 driver inspections in a year, the ISSES was estimated to contribute to incremental reductions of between 63 and 629 commercial vehicle-related crashes per year, reductions of between 16 and 163 personal injuries, and reductions of up to 7 fatalities. Overall, to the extent that they had been exposed to the ISSES, the users were positive toward it and appeared to recognize its potential, but within their current organizational environment, they regarded it as more of a developmental test or research device than as a tool that they wanted to use immediately in their day-today commercial vehicle inspection and law enforcement duties.

Download or read book Development and Evaluation of Alternative Concepts for Wireless Roadside Truck and Bus Safety Inspections written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study focused on developing and analyzing various concepts of operation that would link advanced onboard vehicle and driver monitoring technologies with a means of wirelessly communicating such information to local enforcement agencies in order to improve the quality, efficiency, and effectiveness of the North American Standard (NAS) roadside safety inspection program. The hypothesis which prompted the study was that wireless inspection technology could be widely deployed at both traditional and virtual inspection sites to dramatically increase the number of inspections completed, and to improve pre-screening of vehicles for more detailed manual inspections. Information about the condition of the vehicle and the driver would be assembled electronically in a standard safety data message set and then transmitted to the infrastructure, using dedicated short-range communication (DSRC) technology. Concepts developed were differentiated from current electronic pre-screening programs in that real-time information about the vehicle and driver would be conveyed. Based on a review of inspection and crash data, as well as discussions with the commercial motor vehicle (CMV) industry, the high-level requirements for a wireless commercial vehicle inspection concept should focus on gathering data related to the brakes, tires, lighting systems, Hours-of-Service (HOS), commercial drivers license (CDL) information, carrier identity, and vehicle identification number (VIN). All of this information already exists on the vehicle (via discrete sensor systems or electronic control modules) and, by using conventional technologies, could be electronically linked to the serial databus for subsequent transmission to the infrastructure access points. This information, when combined with the historical information already available on carriers and drivers accessible via Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) and/or State CMV databaseswould provide the enforcement community with a very powerful decision support tool for screening vehicles and/or implementing virtual, automated, wireless inspection sites.
