Abstract:

The Smart InfraRed Inspection System (SIRIS) is a tool designed to assist inspectors in determining which vehicles ; passing through the system are in need of further inspection by measuring the thermal data from the wheel ; components. As a vehicle enters the system, infrared cameras installed on the road measure temperatures of the ; brakes, tires, and wheel bearings on both wheel ends of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) in motion. This thermal ; data is then presented on a user-friendly interface to enforcement personnel in the inspection station. Vehicles that ; are suspected to have a violation are automatically alerted to the enforcement staff. ; The main goal of the SIRIS field operational test (FOT) was to collect data to evaluate the performance of the ; prototype system and to determine the viability of such a system being used for CMV enforcement. ; Overall, the enforcement personnel who have used SIRIS for screening purposes have indicated that SIRIS has the ; potential to be an effective tool. With improvements in detection algorithms and stability, the system will be ; beneficial to the CMV enforcement community and will increase overall trooper productivity by accurately ; identifying a higher percentage of potentially dangerous CMVs for inspection.
