Q: \ HBP\ NJDOT\ 24717\ Task_2\ Deliverable\ Prius1.doc **CONTROL MEA SURE:**  CVISN (Commercial Vehicle Information Systems and Networks) **DESCRIPTION** Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are transportation systems, wh ich utilize information, communication, sensor, and control technologies to achieve improved l evels of performance. One of t he elements of

t he National ITS Program Plan includes the ITS technologies which uniquely support Commercial Vehicle Operations (CVO). The term commercial vehicle information systems and networks (CVISN, pronounced see’ vision ) refers to the ITS information system elements that support CVO. CVISN includes information systems owned and operated by governments, carriers, and other stakeholders. The goal of t he CVISN program is to improve the safety and efficiency of commercial ve hicle operations by creating a way for existing and newly designed systems to exchange information through the use of standards and available communications infrastructure. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is using Commercial Vehic le Information Systems and Networks (CVISN) “levels” to allow definition of a specific set of capabilities that can be deployed incrementally by a state and its motor carriers. The level definitions include capabilities a state would deploy, capabilities m otor carriers in a state would deploy, and capabilities fo r several critical national systems, referred to as core infrastructure systems. The current, primary objective of the CVISN Program is to develop and deploy information systems that will support n ew capabilities in three areas:  Safety Information Exchange: The CVISN Safety Information Exchange capability area is intended to provide improved electronic exchange of M otor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) and other safety information among roadside and desk side, state and federal systems.  Credentials Administration: The central concept fo r this capability area is to allow motor carriers to apply for, pay fo r, and receive credentials electronically.  Electronic Screening: The electronic scre ening aspect of CVISN is to automatically screen vehicles as they approach weigh stations using WIMs cales and allow those that are safe and legal to bypass without slowing down or stopping. **IMPLEMENTA**

**TION** Truck traffic has grown dramatically over the pa st 20 - 30 years. Currently, many weigh stations do not have the capacity to handle existing levels of truck traffic. As truck arrivals exceed the operational capacity of weigh stations, queues develop and drivers are delayed. Often the backups require stati ons to close to avoid safety risks. CVISN enables the electronic transmission of data between commercial vehicles and weigh stations. These systems employ trucks equipped with transponders that electronically communicate with Automated Vehicle Identification (AVI) readers located near the weigh stations. The AVI readers identify the transponder- equipped trucks, verifying their size, weight, and credentials. W hen the information is read and verified, the trucks receive a signal in the cab, either visual, a udible or both. The signal directs the driver to either continue past the weigh station or to enter the station (for a random inspection or credential verification).

Q: \ HBP\ NJDOT\ 24717\ Task_2\ Deliverable\ Prius1.doc Electronic Screening of commercial vehicles on the mainline highway permits compliant veh icles to bypass the weigh station, therefore increasing operational efficiency and capacity. **AN AL** **YSIS A SSUMPTIONS A** **ND METHODOLOGY** Analysis was performed for 10,000 vehicles with CVISN capability per we igh station per county. We ig h stations located along an interstate highway with high truck traffic volume. T he following assumptions were made for the analysis:  Assume that 100% of truck screening is done via electronic screening.  Assume one lane truck screening  Length of service lane = 1017ft and Length of upstream roadway = 1017ft Benefits were analyzed for the truck idling reduced and for the change in speeds at for the section of t he road affected by electronic screening. N JAQONE Ver 3.0 was used to calculate benefits from reduction of

t ruck idling. T ruck emission factors were calculated for the before and after average speeds at the roadway section. **CONCULSION A ND RESULTS**  One of the benefits of implementing CVISN in a state is that it would reduce delays and congestion on highways due to CVO. I mproving safety, administration, screening and enforcement of commercial vehicle operations will reduce the number of accidents on the highways whereby reducing vehicle delay and congestion. This can amount to a notable impact on the on - road vehicle emissions, although, it is a very difficult task to estimate this impact due to the broadness of the p rogram and its distinctive effectiveness in each state. The e mission benefits resulting from electronic screening are as below: Emission Reductions (Statewide): **P ollutant**  **Ty pe**  **An alysis Year 2010**

As per the FHWA’s study in Kentucky (EDL Call #13677) CVISN electronic screening at initial site will cost approximately $522,525 and the annual O&M cost per CVISN electronic screening site is $217,646. Total costs were estimated as follows: Capital Cost = $522,525 over 15 years Annual Operating/Maintenance Cost = $217,646/Year Total Annualized Cost = $252,481 Total cost for the various non - attainment areas are as follows:
