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

3Office of Research and Information Technology

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

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)

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
