To study existing literature on the efficacy of truck lateral protective devices (LPDs), also known as side guards, designed to reduce pedestrian and pedalcyclist fatalities.
Background:
According to the...
Research on Sensor Performance for Automated Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) Applications
Goal: To conduct performance and maintenance research for add-on sensors that support various levels of automation in CMVs. Background: Automated CMVs, currently still in the implementation and testing process, require additional sensors to “observe” their driving environment. Many of...Research and Testing to Accelerate the Adoption of Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) Systems in Commercial Motor Vehicles (CMVs)
.auto-style1 { text-align: center; } Goal: To determine the technical and market barriers to nationwide adoption of AEB systems and to recommend measures to overcome those barriers in order to accelerate adoption of AEB on commercial vehicles (in all segments) weighing more than 10,000...Effectiveness of Weigh Station Pre-Clearance/E-Screening Systems
.auto-style1 { text-align: center; } Goal: To research available weigh station pre-clearance/e-screening systems to determine their effectiveness related to roadside enforcement efforts, commercial vehicle safety, crash reduction, injuries avoided, and lives saved. Background: The...Development of Baseline Safety Performance Measures for Highly Automated Commercial Vehicles
.auto-style1 { text-align: center; } Goal: To analyze and evaluate data from previous naturalistic driving studies to determine parameters that should be included in future automated commercial motor vehicle (CMV) and truck platoon naturalistic driving studies and pilot tests....Cybersecurity Best Practices for Integration/Retrofit of Telematics and Aftermarket Electronic Systems into Heavy Vehicles
.auto-style1 { text-align: center; } Goal:To develop a set of best practices and guidelines focused on minimizing cyber risks for aftermarket electronic systems intended for use in the commercial motor vehicle (CMV) industry.
Background:Heavy vehicle fleet operators...
Accelerating SmartPark Deployment
.auto-style1 { text-align: center; } Goal: To independently assess the status of the deployment of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) for truck parking, evaluate market opportunities and barriers to their deployment, and develop strategies for overcoming any identified barriers...Course: Inspecting High-Voltage Electric-Drive Commercial Motor Vehicles
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), in partnership with the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA), has developed a training course on inspecting high-voltage electric drive commercial motor vehicles (CMVs).
High voltage systems are not currently...
