  • 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.
