Abstract:The purpose of the Commercial Vehicle Information Systems and Networks Model Deployment Initiative (CVISN MDI) is to demonstrate the technical and institutional feasibility, costs, and benefits of the primary Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) user services for commercial vehicle operations (CVO) and to encourage further deployment of these services. The Model Deployment Initiative focuses on three primary CVISN user services: Credentials Administration, Safety Information Exchange, and Electronic Screening. These services are expected to improve the administration of revenue, safety, and other regulatory functions in two prototype (Maryland and Virginia) and eight pilot (California, Colorado, Connecticut, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Oregon, and Washington) states. This Document (1) Describes the CVISN user services that are being deployed in the model deployment states, (2) Presents the overall strategy for evaluating CVISN services, (3) Presents the technical approach for implementing the evaluation strategy, (4) Identifies potential sources of CVISN evaluation data, and (5) Provides a plan for managing the CVISN MDI evaluation. The main work of the evaluation will be carried out in four study areas (Safety, Customer Satisfaction, Costs, and Institutional Benefits). Within these four study areas, several tests and analysis efforts are planned. They include literature searches, surveys of motor carriers and drivers, focus groups and personal interviews, site visits to state agencies and motor carriers, and special field test. Data collection began in early 1998 and will continue through mid 1999. Interim results will be available in late 1999. 11 p.
