Project U22: Trusted Truck(TradeName) II (Phase D)

摘要

The Trusted Truck Independent Certification System is a wireless roadside inspection initiative that offers immediate and vital incentives to the vehicle operator to save the many hours spent waiting in line at state vehicle inspection stations, while at the same time giving the state inspection authorities a much higher volume of vehicle inspections than possible at current staffing levels. The adoption of this concept on our highways will provide for operators a dramatic and welcome increase in efficiency, and for inspection authorities the same welcome increase in the number of vehicles inspected. Phase D is the culmination of the Trusted Truck project, which has successfully delivered a full working prototype, and a live demonstration of this unique concept. In Phase D, high level data security was implemented to provide the exchange of encryption certificates per inspection between the truck and the Trusted Truck Management Center. This included an optimization specific to this application, designed and published by the University of Tennessee. Another major feature delivered was the Pre-Trip inspection feature that allows operators to detect out of compliance items at any time to facilitate convenient repair. This same feature can be used by inspection authorities to manually determine if the system is providing true indications. The project delivered the specifications and background information needed for franchisees to instantiate a Trusted Truck Management Center.
