Abstract:This project was undertaken to determine the feasibility of gathering vehicle, driver, and carrier data to be used to format and wirelessly transmit from a commercial motor vehicle a Safety Data Message Set (SDMS). The Wireless Roadside Inspection (WRI) Program is defined in three phases:
Phase 1: Proof-of-Concept Test (POC)—Testing of commercial off-the-shelf technology to validate WRI concept.
Phase 2: Pilot Test—Safety technology maturation and back-office system integration.
Phase 3: Field Operational Test—Multi-vehicle testing over a multi-state region
This report focuses on Phase 1 efforts. Technical efforts dealt with the ability of a wireless inspection system to collect driver, vehicle, and carrier information; format a SDMS from this information; and wirelessly transmit a SDMS to a roadside receiver unit or mobile enforcement vehicle. As a result of the WRI POC testing, it is concluded that WRI holds considerable promise in increasing highways safety by:
Improving the quality of the inspections performed.
Allowing more inspections to be conducted
Providing industry benefits for these technologies that encourage early adoption.
Because of these positive results, it is recommended that Phase 2 (Pilot Testing) be engaged.
