• 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.
