    • 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.
