  • Study of the Impact of a Telematics System on Safe and Fuel-Efficient Driving in Trucks
    Study of the Impact of a Telematics System on Safe and Fuel-efficient Driving in Trucks April 2014 FOREWORD Phase I of the Motor Carrier Efficiency Study (MCES) identified a broad array of technology applications that have the potential to leverage advancements in wireless communications. With the commercial rollout of fourth-generation (commonly called 4G) wireless telecommunications systems, creative developers have greater opportunity to develop useful tools to exploit high- speed, data-rich communications networks. The convergence of advanced wireless capabilities and increasingly sophisticated onboard computing capabilities presents a timely opportunity to explore new ways to improve commercial motor vehicle (CMV) driver performance, and simultaneously enhance CMV safety and fuel efficiency. This report is an evaluation of the use of telematics systems focusing on safe and fuel-efficient driving. Telematics is technology that combines telecommunications (i.e., the transmission of data from on-board vehicle sensors) and global positioning system (GPS) information (i.e., time and location) to monitor driver and vehicle performance.
