Emergency Commercial Vehicle Response |
This equipment package identifies and initiates a response to commercial vehicle and freight equipment related emergencies. These emergencies may include incidents involving hazardous materials as well as the detection of non-permitted transport of security sensitive hazmat. The equipment package identifies the location of the vehicle, the nature of the incident, the route information, and information concerning the freight itself. The information supports the determination of the response and identifies the responding agencies to notify. As part of the response, this equipment package can request Fleet and Freight Management to disable a specific vehicle in their fleet. |

On-board Driver Authentication |
This on-board equipment package monitors the identity of the commercial vehicle driver and compares it with the planned drivers for the commercial vehicle. Any change in driver is sent to the Fleet and Freight Management Subsystem. Notification of any unexpected drivers will also be sent to the Fleet and Freight Management Subsystem which, in turn, may send a disable vehicle command back to this equipment package to cause the vehicle to stop. On receipt of a disable vehicle message from the Fleet and Freight Management Subsystem or on detection of an unauthorized driver, the equipment package will safety disable the CV. |

Manage CV Driver Identification |
This equipment package collects and stores driver identification records including driver issued PINS and/or individual driver biometric measurements. The equipment package can also manage the storage of driver PINs, data from a driver identification card, and/or biometric measurements for authorized drivers on individual commercial vehicles.
Based on information reported by the commercial vehicle, the equipment package will determine if the driver is authorized, and notify the Commercial Vehicle Manager when an unauthorized driver is detected. The Commercial Vehicle Manager may override the disable vehicle action. When an unauthorized driver is detected and the system is not overridden, then the equipment package will issue a message to the commercial vehicle to safely disable the vehicle. If an unauthorized driver is detected, then the equipment package will send to the Emergency Management Subsystem an alert that includes: incident location, current location of the CV, Vehicle ID, Carrier ID, Driver ID, CV Credentials information, and cargo manifest (if known). |
