CVCE Safety and Security Inspection Functional Area

Description

'CVCE Safety and Security Inspection' supports the roadside safety inspection process, including wireless roadside inspections that are conducted remotely. It reads on–board safety data at mainline speeds to rapidly check the vehicle and driver and accesses historical and current safety data after identifying vehicles at mainline speeds or while stopped at the roadside. The capabilities to process safety data and issue pull–in messages or provide warnings to the driver, carrier, and enforcement agencies are also provided. It includes hand held or automatic devices to rapidly inspect the vehicle and driver, including driver logs. Results of screening and summary safety inspection data are stored and maintained.

Since a vehicle may cross jurisdictional boundaries during a trip, it supports the concept of a last clearance event record carried on the vehicle tag. The last clearance event record reflects the results of the roadside verification action. For example, if the vehicle is pulled over in State A and undergoes credential, weight, and safety checks, the results of the clearance process are written to the vehicle s tag. If the vehicle continues the trip and passes a roadside station in State B, the State B station has access to the results of the previous pull–in because it can read the last clearance event record written by the State A roadside station. It associates high–risk cargo with the container/chassis, manifest, carrier, vehicle and driver transporting it.
