Abstract:The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Wireless Roadside Inspection (WRI) Program is demonstrating the feasibility and value of electronically assessing truck and motorcoach 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 the government. Potential benefits include reduction in crashes, injuries, and fatalities on our highways and keeping safe and legal drivers and vehicles moving. WRI Pilot Tests were conducted to prototype, test, and demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of electronically collecting safety data messages (SDMs) from in-service commercial vehicles and performing WRIs using three different communication systems. This report provides a summary of the results of the WRI Program Phase II Pilot Testing. The results of this phase of the effort demonstrate the capability to increase commercial vehicle inspections and to potentially realize significant improvement in commercial vehicle safety without increasing the burden on enforcement or compliant operators. This report summarizes the conduct of the Pilot Test project, and its findings and assessments. References are provided for detailed technical reports on the Phase II testing and independent evaluation.
