CV Roadside Credentialing Systems - Commercial Vehicle Check Functionality
Subsystem Description
The Commercial Vehicle Check Subsystem supports automated vehicle identification at mainline speeds for credential checking, roadside safety inspections, and weigh-in-motion using two-way data exchange. These capabilities include providing warnings to the commercial vehicle drivers, their fleet managers, and proper authorities of any safety problems that have been identified, accessing and examining historical safety data, and automatically deciding whether to allow the vehicle to pass or require it to stop with operator manual override. The Commercial Vehicle Check Subsystem also provides supplemental inspection services to current capabilities by supporting expedited brake inspections, the use of operator hand-held devices, mobile screening sites, on-board safety database access, and the enrollment of vehicles and carriers in the electronic clearance program.
Functional Area: Citation and Accident Electronic Recording
Roadside check facility equipment records results of roadside inspections and forwards information to the commercial vehicle administration center. Includes accident reports, violations, citations, and the daily site activity data.
ID | Requirement | Status |
---|---|---|
1 | The roadside check facility equipment shall record the results of roadside inspections carried using an inspector's hand held terminal interface. | Planned |
2 | The roadside check facility equipment shall provide an interface for an inspector to add comments to the inspection results. | Planned |
3 | The roadside check facility equipment shall forward results of the roadside inspections to the commercial vehicle administration center either as needed or on a periodic basis. These reports include accident reports, violation notifications, citations, and daily site activity logs. | Planned |
4 | The roadside check facility equipment shall receive driver records from the commercial vehicle administration center to support driver identification and collection of driver credentials and history information. | Planned |
5 | The roadside check facility equipment shall collect safety data from the commercial vehicle and its freight equipment to help characterize the circumstances surrounding an accident. | Planned |
6 | The roadside check facility equipment shall read the driver identification card provided by the commercial vehicle driver and support cross-check of the identification data with driver records. | Planned |
Functional Area: Roadside Electronic Screening
Roadside check facility equipment to communicate with commercial vehicles at mainline speeds - reading tag data, identification, weight and vehicle characteristics, and credential checking. Determines whether a pull-in message should be generated, allowing for inspectors to override.
ID | Requirement | Status |
---|---|---|
1 | The roadside check facility equipment shall detect the presence of commercial vehicles and freight equipment approaching a facility. Sensors can differentiate between different types of vehicles and determine the number of axles, gross vehicle weight, and the identification of the vehicle and its cargo. | Planned |
2 | The roadside check facility equipment shall receive the credential and credentials status information (e.g. snapshots) from the commercial vehicle administration center to maintain an up to date list of which vehicles have been cleared (enrolled) to potentially pass through without stopping. | Planned |
3 | The roadside check facility equipment shall receive violation records from appropriate law enforcement agencies pertaining to commercial vehicles. | Planned |
4 | The roadside check facility equipment shall provide an interface to inspectors in the field to allow them to monitor and if necessary override the pull-in decisions made by the system. | Planned |
5 | The roadside check facility equipment shall request and input electronic screening data from the commercial vehicle's electronic tag data. | Planned |
6 | The roadside check facility equipment shall collect safety data from the commercial vehicle and its freight equipment. | Planned |
7 | The roadside check facility equipment shall send a pass/pull-in notification to the commercial vehicle and its driver based on the information received from the vehicle, the administration center, enforcement agencies, and the inspector. The message may be sent to the on-board equipment in the commercial vehicle or transmitted to the driver using equipment such as dynamic message signs, red-green lights, flashing signs, etc. | Planned |
8 | The roadside check facility equipment shall verify that pull-in requests are heeded by drivers, notifying the facility operator if a vehicle fails to pull in as requested. | Planned |
9 | The roadside check facility equipment shall monitor alerting and advisory systems for security alerts and advisories. | Planned |
10 | The roadside check facility equipment shall send a record of daily activities at the facility including summaries of screening events and inspections to the commercial vehicle administration center. | Planned |
