Abstract The Smart Roadside Initiative (SRI) is a United States Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) initiative that is designed to breakdown information silos between Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) at the roadside in order to improve motor carrier safety and mobility, as well as the operational efficiency of motor carriers and the public-sector agencies that regulate them. U.S. DOT has advanced the SRI program through the development of the Smart Roadside Concept of Operations (ConOps) and architecture, as well as the development of a Smart Roadside prototype system. U.S. DOT commissioned the SRI Gap Analysis project to: document the currently available and emerging roadside technologies for commercial vehicle operations (CVO); analyze the functionality being developed as part of the Smart Roadside Prototype; and identify gaps where functionality are absent or may be insufficient to support the Smart Roadside Initiative (SRI) within the U.S. DOT’s Connected Vehicle Program. In support of this task, the researchers documented the technologies associated with three distinct truck-related operational scenarios (mainline screening, virtual weigh station, and commercial truck parking systems). Technologies were identified through a combination of literature review, vendor interviews, interviews with state officials, and best practice site visits. The team then linked the technologies to five core functional elements associated with commercial vehicle operations and enforcement and assessed the deployment rates for different technologies by operational scenario and functional element. The findings and results of this assessment were used to support subsequent tasks in the study.
