Introduction to Commercial Vehicle Information Systems and Networks (CVISN)
Introduction to Commercial Vehicle Information Systems and Networks (CVISN). The FMCSA Office of Analysis, Research and Technology (ART) is pleased to announce this important and timely webinar focused on the Commercial Vehicle Information Systems & Networks (CVISN) program that has been deployed in all states. The benefits of CVISN include access to more timely and complete safety information for roadside inspectors, faster and more efficient e-credentialing services between States and motor carriers, and checking truck and motor carrier compliance at highway speeds through state-based e-screening systems. Mr. Jose Rodriguez, a Transportation Specialist in the ART Technology Division, will present an overview of the CVISN Program and provide information to the FMCSA Division State Program Specialists about their role in the CVISN Program. Participants will be able to ask questions and discuss issues related to the CVISN program.

Onboard Monitoring System Field Operational Test Program
Onboard Monitoring System Field Operational Test Program The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is conducting research to determine whether on-board monitoring systems will improve commercial motor vehicle driver safety performance and reduce risky driving behavior. FMCSA is inviting additional carriers to participate in this important, far-reaching study. In exchange for its participation, the carrier will be able to use the technology and the Onboard Monitoring System in its vehicles for up to 18 months. The integrated safety technologies and applications being utilized in this project include: driver behavior monitoring, lane/roadway departure warning, forward collision warning, fatigue monitoring, alcohol detection, automatic on-board recording of driver logs and continuous naturalistic data collection. The ideal candidate for this FOT would be a safety-minded carrier with an active safety program that performs more long-haul than short-haul operations and has one terminal where 50 to 100 trucks could be equipped with the system. Carriers that have already deployed some form of driver behavior monitoring system, lane/roadway departure warning system, forward collision warning system, alcohol detection device and automatic on-board recording system in all their vehicles would not be the best candidates.

2009: Historic Truck Crash Declines
Crash data from 2009 show the largest decrease in fatal truck crashes since NHTSA’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) started collecting data in 1975. Fatalities in large truck crashes dropped 20 percent from 2008 to 2009, following a 12 percent decline from 2007 to 2008. In this webinar, Dr. Ralph Craft of FMCSA’s Office of Analysis, Research and Technology will present large truck and bus crash data from 2009, trend data covering the last ten years, and focus specifically on the last two years of historic decreases. The webinar will also discuss reasons for the declines, and present some comparisons to crash data for passenger vehicles. Dr. Craft is a recognized expert in commercial vehicle crash data analysis and has worked for FMCSA for the past 18 years. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about these latest truck and bus crash statistics and to have Dr. Craft answer your questions during the question and answer period at the end of his presentation.

FMCSA Improvements to the A&I Web site
A&I Online is an FMCSA Internet Web site (http://ai.volpe.dot.gov/) that provides safety information ranging from evaluation of commercial motor vehicle operators to assessing individual motor carrier safety records to analysis of FMCSA and State motor carrier safety programs — and more. The site is increasingly being used by stakeholders throughout the motor carrier industry, including FMCSA and State safety enforcement personnel, motor carriers, shippers, the insurance industry, Federal and State safety managers, and the public. It is anticipated that more than 4 million visits will be made to the A&I Web site in 2010, underscoring the continued trend of substantial growth in the number of visitors. In this webinar, Scott Valentine of the ART Analysis Division will provide an update on the review and improvements that FMCSA is continuing to make to the A&I Web site to make it an even more effective tool that helps visitors efficiently use data and analysis from the Web site to progress more rapidly toward their shared safety goals.

Pre-employment Screening Program Online Service Demonstration
The Pre-Employment Screening Program (PSP) is a new, national-level program designed to offer motor carriers and commercial drivers electronic access to drivers’ records from the Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS). A PSP record contains a driver’s crash and inspection history to help motor carriers make more informed hiring decisions. The PSP allows motor carrier employers to take the crash and inspection history of drivers into account when deciding on hiring new employees, and also offers drivers the option to view their personal PSP record at any time. Join the Analysis Division’s Michael Johnsen for an overview of the PSP program, and for demonstrations of both the motor carrier and commercial driver online services.

The Pre-Employment Screening Program, required by Congress through the latest transportation reauthorization bill, SAFETEA-LU, is voluntary, and a motor carrier must obtain the driver’s written consent prior to requesting a driver’s record. PSP data is handled according to all applicable laws and regulations.

The PSP Web site can be accessed at http://www.psp.fmcsa.dot.gov/Pages/default.aspx.
