Abstract The Smart Roadside Initiative (SRI) is one of several USDOT research and development projects intended to improve the efficiency and safety of the Nation’s roadways by providing for the exchange of important safety and operational information. This goal of this project is to define a framework to connect commercial vehicles, motor carriers, enforcement resources, highway facilities, intermodal facilities, toll facilities, and other nodes on the transportation system in order to provide more complete, timelier, and better operations-driven information exchange. This framework will provide a foundation upon which technology can be built to meet operational needs for improving motor carrier safety, security, operational efficiency, and freight mobility, and enhancing protection and maintenance of infrastructure. This document is a Concept of Operations for a system that will be used to: • uniquely identify commercial motor vehicles; • locate, analyze and make available to users information about the vehicles, the carriers that own and/or manage them, and the drivers that operate them, in order to facilitate electronic screening; • facilitate the delivery of information regarding truck parking facilities; and • support the development and delivery of functionality consistent with the US DOT’s V2X Cooperative Systems program. This Concept describes current operations, user needs for enhancement, justification for changes, proposed operational policies and constraints and expected outcomes, as well as sample scenarios for the application of the system. It will serve as a resource for development of engineering requirements for prototype SRI applications and SRI architecture, and support decision makers in their assessment of SRI systems.
