  • Abstract:
    The goal of the present study is to improve the effectiveness of highway safety inspections of motor carriers. These inspections can be broadly classified as anticipated or spontaneous. Anticipated inspections are defined as those in which the driver is usually aware that there is a high probability that an inspection will take place. These would normally occur at fixed sites, such as highway weigh stations. Conversely, spontaneous inspections are those in which the driver may be unaware that an inspection will take place. These would usually be conducted at roadside facilities, such as rest areas, check points, or even by a highway patrol or truck regulatory officer on the shoulder of a road. This project evaluates the differences, if any, between violations found during the two broad classifications of inspections as described above. The data used are taken from all the inspections conducted in North Dakota during calendar year 1993. This is conducted to provide the Office of Motor Carriers management staff with the information to improve the roadside inspection procedures and to allocate Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program funds as efficiently as possible. This will, in turn, result in the maximum removal of unsafe equipment and drivers from service.
