• Abstract:
  Research sponsored by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) in 2008 documented discrete ; safety technology investment differences that exist across motor carrier fleet sizes. In response, this research ; analyzed the use of onboard safety systems (OSSs) by small carriers (fewer than 50 power units), drivers/owneroperators, ; and the requisite OSS investment motivators and barriers. This research identified and measured OSS ; investment and deployment patterns within the trucking industry by mapping carrier-level OSS use with financial ; and operational differences by fleet size. ; The research findings provide guidance on the challenges and unique perspectives that various industry sectors ; have toward adopting OSS technologies. These technologies were limited to Stability Control Systems (SCSs), Lane ; Departure Warning Systems (LDWSs), and Collision Warning Systems (CWSs). This information can provide ; industry stakeholders and Government representatives with investment thresholds and requirements, potential ; adoption strategies, and public-private collaboration opportunities.
