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.
