Abstract The Arizona Port of Entry (POE) Program provides a valuable service to the residents of Arizona, but lacks a clear means of evaluating the efficiency and effectiveness of its enforcement program. This in turn makes it more difficult to communicate the achievements of the Port of Entry Program, and to identify potential improvements in service quality. This research addresses the development of measures of performance for evaluation of the Arizona Port of Entry Program. By developing specific measures tied to the goals and objectives of the program, Arizona POE managers will have a better set of tools for decision making, and increased accountability to Arizona taxpayers. Measures of performance should communicate the need for improvement in an organization, but should highlight accomplishments as well. Many of the performance measures discussed in the literature emphasized quantity of a particular unit of measurement (e.g., trucks weighed), but did not relate that quantity to the operational conditions under which it was achieved. In contrast, the measures recommended in this report provide a means of relating measurements to the intended outcome of each activity. Comparing revenues to truck travel, or overweight traffic to the percentage of traffic weighed, indicates the degree to which enforcement induces compliance with state regulations. Similarly, illustrating the benefits that accrue to highway users as a result of port of entry services provides a means of evaluating the overall value of POE services. Performance measures need to be redefined as the priorities of an organization change, and special care must be taken when comparisons are made between multiple agencies or time periods. The best assessment of the needs of the port of entry program will come from port managers, who are most familiar with the goals and operating conditions that affect the ports of entry. The measurements developed for this study were intended to provide additional tools from which port of entry performance could be managed, but the ultimate responsibility for selecting and implementing an appropriate measurement system remains with port of entry administrators. 17.

Abstract An advanced-technology Integrated Safety and Security Enforcement System (ISSES), now deployed at three commercial vehicle inspection sites along interstate highways in Kentucky, was evaluated from the point of view of system performance, potential effects on inspection selection efficiency (choosing the highest-risk trucks from the stream of commerce), user acceptance, and costs. Overall, despite the fact that commercial vehicle law enforcement staffing levels in Kentucky did not allow for full-time, dedicated use of the ISSES by inspectors at the time of the evaluation, the subsystems that were under evaluation in this task were found to be performing effectively in a stand-alone mode.

  • What Have We Learned About ITS Commercial Vehicle
    chapter 6 WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED ABOUT ITS FOR COMMERCIAL VEHICLE OPERATIONS? STATUS, CHALLENGES, AND BENEFITS OF CVISN LEVEL 1 DEPLOYMENT Author: John E. Orban, Ph.D. Battelle EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) offer significant benefits to state motor carrier agencies, the motor carrier industry, and the traveling public. New and emerging technologies, information systems, and communications networks provide the framework for states, the Federal Government, and private stakeholders to electronically collect and exchange motor carrier safety and interstate registration and tax payment information. Use of these technologies supports initiatives by state and Federal agencies, in partnership with the motor carrier industry, to improve highway safety, simplify government administrative credentialing operations, enhance productivity, and reduce delays for safe and legal carriers. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) established goals to reduce commercial vehicle fatalities 50 percent by 2010, with a baseline of 5,374 fatalities in 1998, and to reduce the number of persons injured in commercial vehicle crashes 20 percent by 2008, with a baseline of 127,000 injuries in 1998. An overriding objective of the ITS technologies designed for roadside operations is to reduce the number of crashes involving large trucks and the resulting personal injury and property damage. Using ITS technologies, enforcement personnel have access to up-to-date safety and credential information for motor carriers as well as for individual vehicles. This access can improve highway safety by allowing state and federal enforcement officials to concentrate their resources on high-risk carriers and vehicles. Three main ITS technology areas designed for commercial vehicle operations (CVO) applications are safety information exchange, electronic screening, and electronic credentialing.

ABSTRACT This research investigates the best way to enforce the truck size and weight limits and by doing so decrease the damage that is being done to Oklahoma's roads and bridges. In the process a survey of all state DOT's was conducted to help determine the state of the art for cost effective and the most efficiente mix of fixed weigh stations, mobile enforcement, weight in motion (WIM), virtual enforcement, and possible other technology to provide optimum monitoring of Oversize/Overweight vehicles to reduce damage to Oklahoma's roads and bridges.
