Improving Commercial Vehicle Safety through University Partnerships with a Focus on Technologies and Tools to Promote Safe Driving Behaviors and to Identify High-Risk Corridors

Working with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) in a cooperative agreement, the overall goal of this project is to improve commercial vehicle safety through sharing research and best practices in the areas of technologies and tools to promote safe driving behaviors and to identify high-risk corridors. This will be accomplished through two strategies. The first strategy will be to document and share best practices of university partnerships with state law enforcement and driver licensing agencies to improve commercial vehicle safety related to technologies and tools to promote safe driving behaviors and to identify high-risk corridors throughout the Western Service Center region. The second strategy will be to provide resources through the Commercial Vehicle Safety Center at NDSU-UGPTI as a point of contact for universities, law enforcement, and driver licensing agencies seeking assistance to establish partnerships to improve commercial vehicle safety, in particular in the areas of technologies and tools to promote safe driving behaviors and to identify high-risk corridors.
