National ITS Architecture Functional Requirements
associated with Commercial Vehicles:

On-board Trip Monitoring
  1. The commercial vehicle shall compute the location of the commercial vehicle and its freight equipment based on inputs from commercial vehicle measures (e.g. identity, distance traveled, etc.) and a vehicle location determination function.
  2. The commercial vehicle shall provide details of the route input from the commercial vehicle fleet management center.
  3. The commercial vehicle shall provide warnings to the driver and the commercial vehicle fleet management center when the vehicle's location has deviated from its planned route.
  4. The commercial vehicle shall maintain the driver's daily log, vehicle location, mileage, and trip activity (includes screening, inspection and border clearance event data as well as fare payments) and distribute it to the driver and to the commercial vehicle fleet management center upon request.
  5. The commercial vehicle shall maintain the interface between the vehicle, its driver, and the commercial vehicle fleet management center for dispatch, routing, and special instructions as well as payment, and enrollment information.
On-board Cargo Monitoring
  1. The commercial vehicle shall compute the location of the commercial vehicle and its freight equipment based on inputs from a vehicle location determination function.
  2. The commercial vehicle shall monitor on-board systems and record measures such as weight, vehicle security status, vehicle safety status, vehicle identity, driver status, driver safety status, distance traveled, and brake condition.
  3. The commercial vehicle shall monitor information concerning the freight equipment including cargo type, HAZMAT designation (if any) for the cargo, cargo weight, the type of container in which the cargo is held, safety condition of the cargo, etc.
  4. The commercial vehicle shall forward information concerning the freight equipment on to its fleet and freight management center as well as the roadside check facility.
  5. The commercial vehicle shall send notification of a hazmat spill to appropriate emergency management center in case of an incident including the information from cargo sensors, vehicle location, and the carrier identification.
On-board CV Electronic Data
  1. The commercial vehicle shall receive pass/pull-in messages from the roadside check facilities and present them to the driver in either audible or visual forms.
  2. The commercial vehicle shall respond to requests to provide data accumulated on-board the vehicle to roadside check facilities for inspection including driver logs, electronic identifiers, credentials, border clearance data, and other screening data such as cargo status, hazmat identifiers, out of service status, vehicle axle weight, vehicle weight, and time.
  3. The commercial vehicle shall respond to requests to provide the identity, status and other information from the electronic cargo lock tag, if so equipped, to roadside check facilities, including border crossings.
  4. The commercial vehicle shall support an interface to a commercial vehicle driver that is also acting in the role of a commercial vehicle fleet manager to set up routes, pay necessary taxes, obtain proper credentials, and write the identifiers to the electronic tag for the driver, vehicle, and carrier.
On-board CV Safety and Security
  1. The commercial vehicle shall receive pass/pull-in messages from the roadside check facilities and present them to the driver in either audible or visual forms.
  2. The commercial vehicle shall respond to requests to provide on-board safety inspection data to roadside check facilities including vehicle identification, driver logs, and characteristics data for initiating safety checking. Results of the inspection are read back into the on-board equipment.
  3. The commercial vehicle shall monitor on-board systems pertaining to the safety and security of the vehicle, its driver, and its cargo/freight equipment; and provide the information to the driver, roadside check facilities, and commercial fleet management centers.
  4. The commercial vehicle shall provide interface with the driver to be presented with and respond to alerts, either visual or audible, concerning the safety and security of the vehicle and its cargo. Alerts and messages specific to commercial vehicles include trucks not advised on a route, trucks over 10 tons not allowed on bridge, route details, detected route deviations and warning indications detected by on-board sensors (e.g., safety) and freight equipment sensors (e.g., breach, cargo).
  5. The commercial vehicle shall provide information concerning a breach or tamper event on a commercial vehicle or its attached freight equipment to roadside check facilities and to the commercial fleet management center, the information includes identity, type of breach, location, and time.
