Project Goal:
This is an SBIR Phase I feasibility study of autonomous marker deployment for autonomous vehicles.
Background:
Research office is to evaluate the safety implications of automated and semi-automated vehicles prior to deployment of these...
Project Goal:
The goal of the SDAP is to determine if CMV drivers under the age of 21, with a current CDL and operating in intrastate commerce, can operate CMVs (equipped with additional safety technology) with an equivalent level of safety in interstate commerce....
Project Goal:
The objective of this project is to develop a model automated CMV operational safety plan for motor carriers. Such a plan must consider the specific automation technologies to be implemented and how the CMV is to be operated. The vehicle...
Project Goal:
This project has four objectives, as follows:
To identify and review the most current literature related to high blood pressure and the measurement at which high blood pressure is likely to interfere with a driver's ability to operate a...
Project Goal:
The goal of this project is to determine the effectiveness of third-party testing as well the effectiveness of using minimum standards for training and testing for Commercial Driver's License (CDL) knowledge and skills tests.
Background:...
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...
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...
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:...
Project Goal:
Explore the use of cameras with DOT number readers and/or license plate readers (LPRs) and time stamps positioned to cover inspection station exits to capture drivers/trucks jumping OOS orders. Provide data for enforcement follow-up.
Background...
Project Goal:
To plan and conduct ADAS and ADS testing, data collection and analysis, as well as stakeholder outreach activities, such as vehicle demonstrations, conference exhibits in conjunction with FMCSA's Automated CMV Evaluation (ACE) Program. The ACE test...
