• Abstract:
  This article describes the Commercial Vehicle Information System (CVIS), designed to deploy a national safety program for the U.S. commercial trucking fleet. CVIS is built around a safety analysis algorithm called SafeStat which constructs a profile on commercial vehicle operators whose activities are subject to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. The profile can be used to identify potentially unsafe carriers. The article also describes a safety monitoring system for air carriers, known as the Air Carrier Analysis Support (ACAS). ACAS is designed to collect and provide data on air carrier safety and performance
