Safety Trucks * USA - Volvo shares details on Trusted Truck program
Research Project: That would allow safe and "trusted" trucks to bypass inspection stations
Knoxville,TENN,USA -Truck News -Aug 17, 2010: -- Volvo Trucks has released details on a multi-year research project it's involved in that would allow safe and "trusted" trucks to bypass inspection stations... The Trusted Truck program is a partnership with the National Transportation Research Center, Volvo Trucks North America, Volvo Technology North America and the University of Tennessee which looks to improve truck efficiency by determining which vehicles should be allowed to bypass scales, freeing up enforcement resources to concentrate on high-risk trucks... The latest version of the system that was tested required vehicles to be registered as Trusted Trucks. Their credentials were then sent wirelessly to roadside inspectors, confirming the driver, tractor, trailer and cargo all met FMCSA standards. When monitoring systems confirmed the vehicle and driver had up to date credentials, the driver would then be signaled to proceed through the inspection station without stopping... If any problems are flagged, the driver would be instructed to report to the inspection station...Labels: safety trucks
