I-95 Corridor Coalition Funds Joint Volvo-NCSHP-NCSU-CVSA Effort to Address the Feasibility of 'Wireless' Inspection Capability for Commercial Motor Vehicles

ITRE presented a brief conceptual overview of the notion of a 'wireless' (Wi-Fi/802.11) 'concept' for enabling motor carrier enforcement personnel to 'inspect' an en route commercial motor vehicle 'wirelessly.' An initial feasibility demonstration is scheduled for September 2006 involving vehicle-to-roadside communication of driver biometric data, elements of a simulated Transportation Workers Identification Credential (TWIC) and selected truck system parameters. The 'concept' shows the potential for also being able to transmit from the vehicle to a 'mobile' site (e.g., enforcement vehicle) and how such information might be used to augment current/planned Commercial Vehicle Information Systems and Networks (CVISN) capabilities as well as its interface to the notion of a Public Sector Reporting Center (PSRC).
