Biometric Indentification Standards Research. Final Report. Volume 2. Appendices

摘要

In October, 1995, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) contracted with San211u001eJose State University to develop biometric identification standards for possible 211u001euse with the Commercial Driver's Licensing Information System (CDLIS). This 211u001eproject was in response to the 1988 Congressional mandate of the Truck and Bus 211u001eSafety and Regulatory Reform Act (TBSRRA) (Public Law 100-690, Section 9105) for 211u001ethe development of 'minimum uniform standards for a biometric identification 211u001esystem to ensure identification of operators of commercial motor vehicles.' It 211u001efollows significant earlier FHWA studies of biometrics, including a 1990 project 211u001eby the California Department of Motor Vehicles and the Orkand Corporation which 211u001einvestigated the use of fingerprinting and retinal scanning for identifying 211u001ecommercial drivers. the intent of the 1988 legislation was to promote enforcement 211u001eof the 'one-driver, one-license, one-record' provision of the 1986 Commercial 211u001eMotor Vehicle Safety Act (CMVSA). It is our intent that the acceptance of this 211u001ereport will place the Secretary of Transportation in immediate compliance with 211u001ethe 1988 TBSRRA legislation mandating biometric standards development for the 211u001eidentification of commercial drivers.
