Abstract:A "biometric" technology is an automatic method for the identification, or identity verification, of an individual based on physiological or behavioral characteristics. The primary objective of the study summarized in this tech brief was to make recommendations to the Secretary of Transportation for the establishment of minimum uniform standards for a biometric identification system to ensure identification of commercial vehicle drivers. The commercial driver's licensing program needed to ensure that CMV drivers did not have more than one commercial driver's license. Researchers sought to review the current status of biometric technologies to determine their ability to meet the needs of the commercial drivers licensing program and to determine the cost-effectiveness of the most promising technologies and systems for large-scale applications. 4 p.
