Abstract:One of the main goals of the Commercial Vehicle Roadside Technology Corridor (CMVRTC) is to support and evaluate the use of innovative technologies that improve commercial truck and bus safety. The Smart Infrared Inspection System (SIRIS) was the first technology to be tested and evaluated in the CMVRTC. SIRIS is a tool designed to assist inspectors in determining which vehicles passing through the system are in need of further inspection. As a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) travels through the system, infrared cameras mounted on the roadside measure temperatures of the brakes, tires, and wheel bearings on both wheel ends of the vehicles. This thermal data is analyzed by SIRIS internally before being presented to law enforcement personnel on a user-friendly interface inside the inspection station. Enforcement personnel are automatically alerted when vehicles that are suspected to have a defect pass through the system. Since the first-generation prototype in 2007, SIRIS has been a valuable asset to the CMV community by accurately identifying vehicles that should be inspected by a trained CMV inspector.
