Expanded Satellite-Based Mobile Communications Tracking System Final Report Expanded Satellite-based Mobile Communications Tracking System Final Report June 2007 FOREWORD The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA’s) main goal is to save lives and reduce injuries in crashes involving commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) while enhancing the efficiency of commercial vehicle operations and improving the security of hazardous materials transport. This project builds on two previous FMCSA tests of technologies focused on improving CMV security and efficiency: the Hazardous Materials Safety and Security Field Operational Test and the Untethered Trailer Tracking and Control System Pilot Test. In 2004, the Senate Conference Report 108-401 stated that further CMV tracking capabilities were necessary: “As proposed by the Senate, the conference agreement directs $2,000,000 from funds provided for the high-priority initiative program for an expanded satellite-based communications system to monitor and track hazardous materials and high-value cargo in uncovered areas of the United States.” The present final report supersedes the Expanded Satellite-based Mobile Communications Tracking System Requirements Report of March 2007. This report summarizes the pilot test of a satellite-based mobile communications system in Alaska and Hawaii. The information in this document can be used by motor carriers and the public-sector emergency response and enforcement communities.

Abstract This U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) project was authorized in the 2004 Senate Conference Report 108-401: As proposed by the Senate, the conference agreement directs $2,000,000 from funds provided for the high-priority initiative program for an expanded satellite-based mobile communications system to monitor and track hazardous materials and high-value cargo in uncovered areas of the United States. As a result, a regional assessment and 3-month pilot test was conducted to test a wireless, satellite-based mobile communications tracking system to monitor hazardous materials and high-value cargo in order to improve communications in certain regions of Alaska and Hawaii, where satellite-based tracking services were only partially available. This document represents the Final Report for this pilot test of an Expanded Satellite-based Mobile Communications Tracking System. 17. Key Words 18.
