Project Details
AbstractWorking with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) in a cooperative agreement, the overall goal of this project was to improve commercial vehicle safety through sharing research and best practices in the areas of technologies and tools to promote safe driving behaviors and to identify high-risk corridors. This goal was accomplished through two strategies. The first strategy was to document and share best practices of university partnerships with state law enforcement and driver licensing agencies to improve commercial vehicle safety related to technologies and tools to promote safe driving behaviors and to identify high-risk corridors throughout the Western Service Center region. A Commercial Vehicle Safety Summit was organized and conducted to bring together state law enforcement, driver licensing agency, university representatives, and industry from the Western Service Center region. The Summit was organized to share information regarding existing partnerships to improve commercial vehicle safety; and to allow those states who do not currently have a partnership to learn more about establishing a partnership. The second strategy was to provide resources through the Commercial Vehicle Safety Center at NDSU-UGPTI as a point of contact for universities, law enforcement, and driver licensing agencies seeking assistance to establish partnerships to improve commercial vehicle safety, in particular in the areas of technologies and tools to promote safe driving behaviors and to identify high-risk corridors.
