Abstract:The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) established the FAST DASH program to perform efficient independent evaluations of promising safety technologies aimed at commercial vehicle operations. In this second FAST DASH safety technology evaluation project, researchers evaluated an onboard monitoring system (OBMS). The tested OBMS—the waySmart® 820—is a fleet risk management system that requires fleet management interaction. The tested monitoring technology varies significantly from other OBMSs, in that it applies kinematic measures (such as accelerometers) to track aggressive driving, but it does not capture video for manager review, which may make the driver less conscious of the monitoring system. The tested OBMS includes seatbelt usage monitoring and proprietary “Speed-by-Street™” monitoring.
