  • Abstract:
    The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is currently testing and evaluating Intelligent ; Transportation Systems (ITS) technologies to enhance the safety and efficiency of interstate and ; intrastate commercial vehicle operations. The current focus is on creating transparent borders for ; interstate commercial vehicles and improving the safety of commercial vehicle operations (CVO). In ; support of this effort, there exists a requirement for a national CVO system that can perform ; numerous user services, including Automated Roadside Safety Inspections, Roadside Clearance, ; Onboard Safety Monitoring, Incident Management, and the Credential and Tax Administrative ; Process. ; The Safety and Fitness Electronic Records (SAFER) System is planned as a component of ITS. One ; of its primary functions is to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the inspection process at the ; roadside. The SAFER System will provide carrier safety historical information to fixed and mobile ; roadside inspection stations. This will allow roadside inspectors and other potential government and ; private users to focus their efforts on high-risk areas, i.e. selecting vehicles and/or drivers for ; inspection based on the number of prior carrier inspections and its safety history. As a result, ; inspection resources would be directed at drivers and vehicles associated with carriers with few prior ; inspections or poor safety records, while minimizing time spent inspecting carriers with many prior ; inspections and good safety histories. This will improve the overall cost effectiveness of the ; inspection process as well as provide an incentive to safe carriers.
