  8. Comprehensive Safety Analysis 2010 What is CSA 2010? CSA 2010 is an important initiative to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of FMCSA’s enforcement and compliance program to achieve the Agency’s mission to reduce commercial motor vehicle (CMV) crashes, fatalities, and injuries. Technical difficulties? Call 1-866-260-4631 for live aid

  9. CSA 2010 Goals and Benefits Reach a greater segment of the industry earlier through: A more comprehensive measurement system A broader array of interventions Safety rating decoupled from Compliance Review (CR) Improve FMCSA and state partner compliance and enforcement efficiency and effectiveness Achieve a greater reduction in large truck and bus crashes Technical difficulties? Call 1-866-260-4631 for live aid 9

  10. Operational Model: Three Core Components • New Safety Measurement System (SMS)Improved ability for earlier identification of demonstrated safety problems • New intervention processEmploys an array of interventions instead of the current principal option --a labor-intensive compliance review • New approach to Safety Fitness Determination (SFD)SFD would be tied to current safety performance; not limited to results of acute/critical violations from a compliance review Technical difficulties? Call 1-866-260-4631 for live aid

  11. New Safety Measurement System CSA 2010 introduces a new safety measurement system (SMS) that… • Uses crash records and ALL roadside inspection safety-based violations to determine carrier/driver safety • Assigns weights to time and severity of violations based on relationship to crash risk • Calculates safety performance based on 7 Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (BASICs) • Triggers the intervention process (eventually would feed Safety Fitness Determination)

  12. SafeStat vs SMS Technical difficulties? Call 1-866-260-4631 for live aid

  13. New Intervention Tools New intervention tools reach more carriers and influence safety compliance earlier • Warning Letters • Investigations • Offsite Investigations • Onsite Investigations - Focused • Onsite Investigations - Comprehensive • Follow-on corrective actions • Cooperative Safety Plan (CSP) • Notice of Violation (NOV) • Notice of Claim (NOC) • Operations Out-of-Service Order (OOS)

  14. Current vs CSA 2010 Intervention Process Technical difficulties? Call 1-866-260-4631 for live aid

  15. Safety Fitness Determination (SFD) SFD would: Incorporate on-road safety performance via new SMS which is updated on a monthly basis Continue to include major safety violations found as part of CSA 2010 investigations Produce a Safety Fitness Determination (SFD) of Unfit or Marginal or Continue Operation Draft rulemaking is currently in review within DOT; NPRM expected to be published in early 2010. Technical difficulties? Call 1-866-260-4631 for live aid

  16. Current Rating Process in CSA 2010 • CSA 2010 incorporates the existing safety rating process and will continue to do so until new SFD would go into effect. • Drivers will not be rated • Ratings are issued based on investigation findings: • Onsite comprehensive investigations can result in Satisfactory, Conditional or Unsatisfactory ratings • Onsite focused investigations can result in Conditional or Unsatisfactory Ratings • Offsite investigations do not result in a rating • Carriers can request an administrative review of its safety rating (§385.17)

  17. CSA 2010 Measurement System Methodology and Examples Technical difficulties? Call 1-866-260-4631 for live aid

  18. SMS Methodology Overview Safety Data BASIC Data BASIC Measures Percentile Obtain on-road safety data (e.g. inspections, crashes) and attribute to carrier to create a safety event history Place each carrier’s violations/crashes into one or more BASIC(s) Convert BASIC data to quantifiable measure/rate (in future, Safety Fitness Determination would likely be based on a fixed benchmark performance) Based on each carrier’s BASIC measure, develop rank and percentile for each entity’s BASIC performance

  19. Safety Data Contained in CSMS Technical difficulties? Call 1-866-260-4631 for live aid • Safety Data Attributed to Carrier • Carrier Safety Measurement System (CSMS) • Includes 24 months of carrier’s on-road safety performance • 6.6 Million inspections • 290,000 crashes • 690,000 carriers

  20. BASIC Data Technical difficulties? Call 1-866-260-4631 for live aid • Safety Data Sorted by BASIC • Unsafe Driving (CFR Parts 392 & 397) • Fatigued Driving (Hours-of-Service) (CFR Parts 392 & 395) • Driver Fitness (CFR Parts 383 & 391) • Controlled Substances/Alcohol (CFR Parts 382 & 392) • Vehicle Maintenance (CFR Parts 393 & 396) • Cargo Related (CFR Parts 392, 393, 397 & HM) • Crash Indicator (PARS, Reportable Crashes)

  21. BASIC Measures Technical difficulties? Call 1-866-260-4631 for live aid • Convert BASIC Data into Quantifiable Measure • Factors used in calculating a BASIC measure: • Time Weighting/Time Frame - More recent events more relevant and weighted higher • Severity Weightings – Increase weighting of certain violations that have been shown to create a greater risk of crash involvement • Normalizing – Based on exposure; use of number of inspections and power units • Single Inspection Cap – Limit violation weight of single poor inspection • Violation Cap – Cited section number only counts once per inspection

  22. Unsafe Driving Measure Technical difficulties? Call 1-866-260-4631 for live aid • Operation of CMVs in a dangerous or careless manner • Examples – speeding, reckless driving, improper lane change • Factors used in calculating the measure: • Time Weight: • 0-6 Months (3 times) • 6-12 Months (2 times) • 12-24 Months (1 times) • Violation Severity Weight • Based on crash risk: Range from 1-10, where 10 is the most severe • Normalized by Average Power Units

  23. Fatigued (HOS) Driving Measure • Operation of CMVs by drivers in non-compliance with the hours-of-service (HOS) regulations • Examples: HOS, logbook, and operating CMV while ill or fatigued • Factors used in calculating the measure: • Time Weight: • 0-6 Months (3 times) • 6-12 Months (2 times) • 12-24 Months (1 times) • Violation Severity Weight • Based on crash risk: Range from 1-10, where 10 is the most severe • OOS (+2) • Normalized by Relevant Inspections – Levels 1,2,3,6 and any other inspections resulting in related violations

  24. Percentile • Based on each BASIC measure, develop percentile indicating entity’s overall BASIC performance • Provides a relative assessment of performance • Allows for prioritizing intervention resources by Basic • Considerations: • Peer Grouping – compare measures of entities with similar levels of exposure • Data Sufficiency standards – define events/exposure necessary to generate a robust measure • SFD/Intervention standards – define “critical mass” of poor performance necessary for inclusion of entity in intervention process or detrimental SFD • Current Inspection and Crash Data – assignment of percentile dependent on age of and result of most recent inspection (12 months)

  25. Peer Grouping BASICs Fatigued Driving (HOS) Peer Unsafe Driving Driver Fitness Group Controlled Substances/Alcohol Vehicle Maintenance Crash Cargo Related 1 0 < PU<= 5 5 – 10 Inspections; (3-10 Fatigued) 2 5 < PU <= 15 11 – 20 Inspections 3 15 < PU <= 50 21 – 100 Inspections 4 50 < PU <= 500 101 – 500 Inspections 5 500 < PU 501+ Inspections Technical difficulties? Call 1-866-260-4631 for live aid *PU = Power Unit • Create percentile based on measure for carrier with similar exposure (same peer group)
