CMVRTC: System Validations and Duty Cycle Data Collections

 

Project Goal:

The goal is to understand how often ADS-equipped CMVs will be engaged in automated operations.  Further, it will identify and characterize key areas of failure for a commercial Class 8 tractor-trailer vehicle and quantify their severity, probability...

CMVRTC: Tire Safety Screening Systems (TS3)

 

Project Goal:

To evaluate the efficacy of Tire Safety Screening Systems (TS3s) in identifying potential tire violations, ORNL will collect inspection data along with supplemental data from partnering States to statistically determine if TS3s provide an increased rate...

CMVRTC: Speed Camera Use

 

Project Goal:

Assess the deterrent effect of highly-visible, CMV-only speed cameras in areas that experience regular high congestion. Further, assess whether this technology should be used to directly populate FMCSA carrier risk profile data.

Background:...

CMVRTC: Motorcoach Tire Analysis

.auto-style1 { text-align: center; } Goal: To evaluate the issue of tire wear in motorcoaches, provide data for industry guidance, and establish regulators on minimum acceptable condition, preventative maintenance (PM) practices, and safe tire performance. Background: Tire issues...

CMVRTC: Real-Time Dynamic Brake Assessment (RTDBA)

.auto-style1 { text-align: center; } Goal: To continue to develop and ultimately pilot test RTDBA technology on commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) and transfer brake performance data using CMV telematics technology. Background: Brake pressure, deceleration, and stopping distance...

CMVRTC: Development of Brake Performance Testing for Truck Platoons

.auto-style1 { text-align: center; } Goal: To research the variability of brake performance in truck platoon operations and to provide a new dataset of brake performance data to truck platoon technology providers and to State and Federal agencies. Background: To date, truck platoon...

CMVRTC: Continued Analysis of PBBT Brake Performance Evaluation Data

.auto-style1 { text-align: center; } Goal:To continue gathering Level 1 brake performance stroke measurements and correlate those stroke measurements with performance-based brake tester (PBBT) brake force measurements on each wheel end and for the total vehicle.Background:Currently the PBBT...
