CVISN - CVIEW/SAFER Database Mapping Project; Project rept, 2006-2007

摘要

The national Safety and Fitness Electronic Records (SAFER) system and its distributed version, the state Commercial Vehicle Information Exchange Window (CVIEW) system or equivalent, manage information related to the safety and credentials of motor carriers and vehicles. The information stored in both SAFER and CVIEW today is organized into two major types of data, carrier and vehicle. The design also accommodates a driver data type for future use. These data types are called snapshots since they provide summary information that is intended to give a quick picture of the safety performance history and basic credential information. In addition, SAFER and CVIEW make available, but do not permanently store, more detailed information contained in reports. This paper discusses the SAFER/CVIEW snapshots. For CVISN Level 1, only carrier and vehicle snapshots are supported. SAFER/CVIEW snapshots contain three general categories of information: (1) identification/census, (2) safety, and (3) credential. The identification/census section of the snapshot provides identifying numbers, names, addresses and other information that establishes the identity of the carrier or vehicle. The safety information includes selected statistics related to accidents, violations and inspections, as well as safety ratings, if they exist.
