| Abstract | Roadside Inspection and Traffic Enforcement are two of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA’s) key safety programs. The Roadside Inspection Program consists of roadside inspections performed by qualified safety inspectors. These inspections follow the North American Standard guidelines, which were developed by FMCSA and the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance. Most roadside inspections are conducted by the States under the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program. There are six levels of inspections that include a vehicle component, a driver component, or both. Separately, the Traffic Enforcement Program is composed of two distinct activities: a traffic stop as a result of a moving violation, and a subsequent roadside inspection. FMCSA developed an analytic model to measure the effectiveness of roadside inspections and traffic enforcements in terms of crashes prevented, injuries prevented, and lives saved. This model, previously known as the Intervention Model, is currently known as the Roadside Intervention Effectiveness Model (RIEM). In this model, traffic enforcements and roadside inspections are considered interventions. |
