eRODS—HOS Compliance Checking Software
► eRODS (Electronic Record of Duty Status)
● Features





Reads HOS log file from EOBRs & Carriers’ support systems
Creates graph grid on officer’s computer
Identifies and lists violations
Enables officers to enter supporting docs’ timestamps
Use at roadside inspections and during on-site reviews
● Benefits





Eliminates need to manually reconstruct logs at roadside
Checks multiple drivers during on-site reviews
FMCSA supported application
Part of Mobile Client suite of applications
Integrated with Aspen and CAPRI functions

eRODS—HOS Compliance Checking Software
(continued)
► Planned Schedule:
► June – Dec 2010
● Develop and test comm. protocols with EOBR vendors, States,
and motor carriers
● Conduct end-to-end testing at CMV Roadside Technology
Corridor
● Conduct webinars, conference calls, in person meetings with
interested stakeholders
► 2011
● Deploy eRODS as part of Mobile Client release
● Conduct training for State and Federal inspectors and
investigators
► June 2012
● EOBR rule takes full effect

Smart Infrared Inspection System
(SIRIS)
► $1.4 M Research Grant
► Field tested in:
• FMCSA CMV Roadside
Technology Corridor in TN.
• NY
• NJ
► Final report – Mid 2010
► Performance Specs. – Dec
2010

SIRIS User Interface
► System triggers on
wheel ends and looks at
both sides of the
vehicle
► System looks at three
areas specifically:
● Tire
● Wheel (brake area)
● Hub
► Automatically evaluates
each vehicle and alerts
when problem noted
► Vehicles currently
identified by image
during inspection
► Currently works at
speeds up to about 20
mph

Wireless Roadside Inspection (WRI)
Program Vision & Goal
► Vision
● Motor Carrier safety improved through dramatic increases in
roadside safety inspections
● Frequent driver and vehicle safety assessments ensure
compliance
● Safe and legal motor carrier transportation not hindered
● Wide industry and public agency participation
► Goal
● Improved motor carrier safety (reduction in accidents) due to
increased compliance (change in motor carrier and driver
behavior) caused by higher frequency of roadside safety
inspections using wireless technologies.

Wireless Roadside Inspection Research Program Overview
► Demonstration of real-time and automated
safety compliance checks
•
•
•
•
Driver data (ID, license status, log info)
Truck & bus data (lights, brakes, tires)
Slow & highway speeds
Fixed & mobile inspection units
► Program Status
• 2005-7: Proof-of-concept test: successful
• 2008-11: Pilot test phase
• Multiple comm. paths
• Back office integration
• Interface refinement
• Draft performance specifications
