Intelligent Transportation Systems. Field Operational Test Cross-Cutting Study:211 Hazardous Material Incident Response

摘要

Hazardous Materials Incident Response Cross-Cutting report summarizes and211u001einterprets the results of three Field Operational Tests (FOTs) that are 211u001eevaluating systems for improving the accuracy and availability of HazMat 211u001einformation provided to emergency response personnel. The FOTs considered in this 211u001ereport are: Tranzit Express Systems, Tranzit Express Systems II and Operation 211u001eResponse. The report findings are organized in the categories of impact, user 211u001eresponse, technical lessons learned, institutional challenges and resolutions, 211u001eand cost to implement. The FOTs from which this report was drawn did not 211u001especifically address technical performance issues. The focus was on anecdotal 211u001eevidence. The tests revealed several institutional challenges in the areas of 211u001emotor carrier participation, privacy and enforcement, and jurisdictional 211u001econcerns. This report highlights the successes and challenges that these tests 211u001eencountered while attempting to develop the technologies appropriate for 211u001eresponding to HazMat incidents.
