Federal CVO Initiatives OverviewPlus… Approaches to Enabling OSOW Process Improvements
MAASTO Subcommittee on Highway Transport
October 17, 2012
Nick Vlahos
Today’s Remarks
Summarize four current Federal initiatives for commercial vehicles» Deployed
• CVISN• CSA
» Evolving• Smart Roadside• Connected Vehicles
Explain how States can utilize these programs to provide additional leverage for agency process improvements
3
Federal InitiativesUSDOT has been
active in commercial vehicle safety
regulation for many years
• Direction precedes the creation of FMCSA
• Multiple agencies such as FMCSA, FHWA, NHTSA, and RITA
Four key programs of which state OSOW
officials and industry leaders should be
aware:• CVISN: (Agency)
Systems and Networks
• CSA: Compliance, Safety and Accountability
• Smart Roadside: Sharing data seamlessly en route
• Connected Vehicles: Vehicles to each other and to infrastructure
4
Commercial Vehicle Information Systems and Networks (CVISN)
National program in its second decade» Improve safety and security, efficiency, and freight
mobility» Simplify operations
Enables agencies within a state to share information with each other and with agencies in other states
Three program areas» Credentials Administration» Safety Information Exchange» Electronic Screening
FMCSA provides funds to states on a 50-50 match basis
5
Typical CVISN ArchitectureAgencies within a state electronically share information about credentials and carriers to a common repository (a “CVIEW”)
A state’s CVIEW shares data with the Federal SAFER repository, and receives data from other statesAgency deskside and roadside staff have access to a broader picture of a carrier’s credentials and safety record

CVISN Deployment Levels
Funding availability is based on achieving a series of planning and deployment milestones
All MAASTO states at the “core compliant” milestone» Funding for OSOW system enhancements is an
eligible expense once states have reached this phase
» States in “Expanded CVISN” stage can receive up to $1M/year in funding for approved projects via a grant process
Potential OSOW Process Improvement Examples» Application submission and review improvements» OSOW data access for roadside enforcement
7
CSA: Compliance, Safety, Accountability
Federal Initiative to improve large truck and bus safety» Stated goal is to reduce crashes, injuries, and
fatalities
Three key components» Measurement» Evaluation» Intervention
Organizes a view of carrier safety into seven categories, often referred to by the acronym “BASICs”
8
How CSA Measurement Works at 30,000 Feet
CSA has designed a
Safety Measuremen
t System
Data is collected by
receiving inspection and crash
reports
Carrier performance
in the 7 BASICs is assessed
statistically
Carrier performance is
published monthly
(Typically a rolling 24-month basis)
Adjustments to the methodology are made periodically to take into account observed safety outcomes
9
What Can CSA Mean for OSOW?
CSA provides an agency-neutral way of assessing measured safety of OSOW carriers» Current information, monthly score updates» Simple 0 – 100 percentile scale» BASICs stratify items of potential issue (examples:
vehicle maintenance, driver fitness, unsafe driving)
But… it is still an evolving program» There may not be enough inspection volumes to
reflect all carriers in the OSOW space» Some carriers may carry a mix of legal and OSOW
loads
10
Incorporating CSA into OSOW Processes
Identify the processes where safety evaluation should inform agency decision-making. Examples:
• Resolving permit violations • Assigning escorts• Access to high-risk routes• Qualification for extreme loads
Determine the appropriate mix of CSA and state-specific data• State inspections not reported via ASPEN• Carrier in-state crash records (fatality, injury, property)• Permit violations (running without, exceeding limits, etc.)
Set target thresholds for unacceptable risk levels
Pilot programs to manage high-risk carrier activity
11
Smart Roadside
How to collect and share data needed by various infrastructure components» Vehicle identification» Inspection and enforcement» Toll facilities» Facilities serving carriers (parking, truck stops)» Manufacturers, distribution centers, and intermodal
facilities
Still in early “concept of operations” phase
Potential OSOW Impact: » How to think about the OSOW credential itself
12
Connected Vehicle Program
•Cars as well as commercial vehicles•Technologies, applications, policies, and
institutional issues
Understanding how vehicles
can talk to each other as well as to the roadside
•Test connected vehicle operations in real-world conditions
•Understand driver behavior•Are connected vehicles safer vehicles?“Safety Pilot” currently taking
place in Michigan
•Will OSOW vehicles be able to broadcast their moves as well as evaluate congestion and incidents?What are the future OSOW
impacts?
13
The OSOW Industry Challenge
How can we leverage these national initiatives that fundamentally change how everything is
connected?Make sure that OSOW
has a voice in the national
freight dialogue
Provide innovative processes to help the core OSOW industry
continue to thrive and improve our economy
Focus on stakeholders threatening the OSOW
safety ecosystem
OSOW innovation in the last decade has often been in two areas
The ability for carriers to carry ever-growing loads more frequently and
efficiently
The ability for states to spend less time on routine permit transactions
through automation and data investment
