Assessment Of ITS/CVO User Services ITS/CVO Qualitative Benefit/Cost Analysis
DRIVING SIMULATOR DEDICATED SHORT RANGE COMMUNICATIONS OR DSRC, HAZARD MATERIALS OR HAZMAT, COMMERCIAL VEHICLE OPERATIONS OR CVO
THE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF THIS REPORT DESCRIBES THE CURRENT LEVEL OF TECHNOLOGY USED BY U.S. MOTOR CARRIERS AND PROVIDES ASSESSMENTS OF THE SIX PROPOSED TECHNOLOGY-BASED FHWA ITS/CVO USER SERVICES. ISSUES SURROUNDING IMPLEMENTATION OF THE USER SERVICES ARE ALSO PRESENTED. THE FINAL REPORT THOROUGHLY DETAILS THE ANALYSIS.
THE SIX PROPOSED USER SERVICES HAVE BEEN ASSESSED IN TWO WAYS:
CALCULATING MOTOR CARRIER BENEFIT/COST RATIOS, AND ESTIMATING POTENTIAL MOTOR
CARRIER PARTICIPATION. THE ASSESSMENTS ARE BASED ON THE PERCEPTIONS OF 700
U.S. MOTOR CARRIERS RESPONDING TO AN ATA FOUNDATION SURVEY CONCERNING
LABOR REQUIREMENTS FOR COMPLYING WITH REGULATIONS, AND ON THEIR CURRENT USE
OF TECHNOLOGY THE ASSESSMENTS ARE LIMITED BY NARROW ASSUMPTIONS, NECESSARY IN ORDER TO DRAW INFERENCES ABOUT PROGRAMS WHICH DO NOT CURRENTLY
EXIST AND TO ADVANCE UNDERSTANDING AND FACILITATE DISCUSSION OF THE ENVISIONED GOVERNMENT APPLICATION OF TECHNOLOGY.
