  1. International Border Crossing Program Electronic Screening Transportation Border Working Group April 17, 2012

  2. Problems Facing Safety Inspectors at the Border Inefficient Vehicle Selection Process • Inability to identify and assess safety of CMVs before vehicles enter inspection area • No information on which trucks are approaching the border their location within the inspection site • Potential duplication of FMCSA/state inspection efforts

  3. Proposed Solutions: Less Time Selecting, More Time Inspecting • Use technology to identify trucks entering the US • Electronically assess driver, vehicle, and carrier safety and regulatory compliance status in Federal databases • Inform FMCSA and state safety inspectors of safety problems to select commercial vehicles for physical inspection • Provide information to safety inspectors via portable devices (e.g., laptop, tablet, smart phone, etc) • Share inspection results with states to eliminate duplication of effort

  4. International Border Crossing e-Screening Project • Purpose: Field operations test of technology to improve safety and efficiency for FMCSA and State safety inspectors at the border • Key deliverables: • E-screening system deployed at three border crossing sites (Ysleta, TX, Nogales, AZ and New York State) • Technical documents, software, system performance data • Final report summarizing system operations and effectiveness • Contract award date: June 2011 (36 months)

  5. FMCSA/State Safety Inspection Site Configurations • FMCSA Inspection Facility inside the CBP Compound • Permanent State Inspection Facility with State-Developed Automated Screening System • Permanent State Inspection Facility with No Automated Screening System • Portable/Mobile Safety Inspection Capability

  6. Cloud-Based Mobile System Concept • Advancements in cloud-based and mobile computing technologies offer more flexibility, portability and security support for inspectors • One system can support FMCSA/State Inspectors at multiple types of border crossings • Display in a booth at arrival • Roaming a Federal or State compound • Checking a queue in advance of arrival • Mobile enforcement downstream of border crossings (yards to miles) • Can potentially support a CBP Inspector • One system can support multiple states and border crossing locations at the same time

  9. Mobile Data Terminal Concept • Vehicle List • Recent vehicles with time since crossing • Updates applied automatically or on demand • Display of Identification Data • Vehicle images • Vehicle identification as read from roadside cameras and readers • Display Inspection Support Data • Data provided by QC-ACE system Vehicle ID – Details – 10 min Vehicle ID – Details – 8 min Vehicle ID – Details – 3 min Vehicle ID – Details – 1 min

  10. Data Available from the E-Manifest Request Request Header Driver Trailer

  11. What Data is Available for Carriers?

  12. What Data is Available for Truck/Trailer?

  13. What Data is Available for Driver?

  14. Next Steps • Develop Concept of Operations, System Requirements, and Architecture (in process) • Memorandums of Understanding with States • Develop hardware specifications • Acquire hardware/install at sites • Collect data for one year
