Agenda • CVO Opportunities for VII • FMCSA VII-Related Activities to Date • Future FMCSA Involvement
CVO Opportunities for VII • VII Working Group has identified a numberof “high priority” use cases • Three of these use cases are directly related to commercial vehicle operations: • e-screening • e-inspections • In-vehicle safety advisories)
CVO Opportunities for VII (continued) • CVO also could participate in other VIIactivities: • Cooperative safety systems • Probe vehicles • Telematics • Mobility management
FMCSA VII-Related Activities to Date • FMCSA currently participates in the VII Working Group • FMCSA’s Office of Research and Analysis’s Technology Division has/is actively participating in several VII-related projects • Wireless safety inspections • Geo-fencing/hazardous material security • Advanced electronic screening concepts • In-vehicle safety advisories
FMCSA VII Activities to Date (continued) • FMCSA also is investigating a series of projects that could be integrated with VII: • SmartPark • Roadside Testbed
FMCSA’s VII Strategy • FMCSA is considering the role that it will play in the VII program • FMCSA will pursue one of three strategies: • Wait and See • Moderated • Aggressive
FMCSA’s VII Strategy (continued) • Factors affecting FMCSA decision will include: • Relationship of VII to FMCSA’s core mission of safety • Relationship of VII to FMCSA’s strategic goals • Ability of VII projects to leverage existing (e.g., roadside screening sites) and planned (e.g., 5.9 GHz DSRC) CVISN program investment • Consistency of VII with ITS/CVO Guiding Principles, including those related to data privacy and interoperability
CVO VII Next Steps • FMCSA’s next steps will include: • Evaluate the ability of VII capabilities to support FMCSA’s safety mission and strategic goals • Identify linkages between VII capabilities and other FMCSA research and technologies projects • Coordinate commercial vehicle stakeholder input to the VII Working Group
CVO VII Next Steps (continued) • Depending on the strategy selected othersteps may include: • Refine VII capabilities based on stakeholder input • Explore policy issues related to VII deployment; • Develop business case for VII capabilities to encourage industry adoption; and
