The Commercial Vehicle Information System (CoVIS) is the integrated IT system underpinning the RSA commercial vehicle roadworthiness programme. The purpose of the CoVIS contract is to provide information and communications technology services for the design, development, implementation, operation and support of the integrated IT system.
The initial CoVIS contract was for a period of 80 months (June 2012 to February 2019) and included provision for two 1-year extensions at the discretion of the RSA (both extensions have been granted).
The CoVIS system includes a standardised vehicle testing system to support periodic test inspections and links directly to RSA to provide automated test information. It also supports the full integration of all RSA enforcement activities. It records enforcement activity on drivers’ hours, tachograph, operator licensing, driver CPC including prosecutions. It hosts the RSA risk system, which facilitates profiling of high-risk operators and vehicles. It also includes time management, scheduling, case management and reporting functions.
The current CoVIS system comprises of seven (7) core system modules, which system users interact with on a daily basis. Each of these core modules provides a method for a system user to access the data stored in the CoVIS central database or to add data to the central database; this ensures that up-to-date data is made available to all system users.
All the data in relation to commercial vehicle tests is captured using this system and automatically transmitted to the central database.
(b) Enforcement client: RSA enforcement team use this system to capture data on enforcement activities carried out at roadside and operators’ premises and automatically transmit such data to the central database.
(c) Core MIS: this module is used, primarily, to support CVR administrative functions, including providing access to details of all enforcement activities and tests carried out at CVR testing centres. The module also included facilities to log queries and complaints from customers, test centres and operators in relation to CVR activities.
(d) Portals: the portals provide multiple entry points into the CoVIS solution. There are currently three portals in use:
(e) BI and reports: functionality to allow the RSA to carry out advanced reporting and data analysis on the information held within the central database.
(f) External interfaces: functionality that allows for the transfer of data from and to the CoVIS central database e.g. vehicle ownership, driver details, etc.
(g) A centralised database capable of handling storing and transmitting transactions including but not limited to:
(iii) forwarding of pass/fail results to national vehicle and driver file for licensing and enforcement purposes;
(viii) recording of roadside checks and operator premises visits by transport officers and vehicle inspectors;
(i) extending the contract period by a further period of one (1) year from February 2021 to February 2022;
