- SAFER
- The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has
provided carrier safety data to industry and the public for many
years via telephone requests. The Safety and Fitness Electronic
Records (SAFER) System now makes it possible to offer this information
electronically. Limited SAFER functions are now provided free
of charge over the Internet. Access is provided to Carrier Snapshots,
a concise electronic record of a carrier’s identification,
size, commodity information, and safety record, including the
safety rating (if any), a roadside out-of-service inspection summary,
and crash information. The carrier snapshot is available via an
ad-hoc query (one carrier at a time).
Developed by the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory
and maintained by the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center,
under contract to the FMCSA, SAFER uses carrier information from
existing government motor carrier safety data bases. Presently,
it consists of interstate carrier data and several states' intrastate
data. Operational data such as inspections and crashes are generally
only presented for interstate carriers, but plans are to include
them for the intrastate carriers at a later time.
The SAFER system is a component of the Intelligent Transportation
System (ITS) which is being designed to increase roadway safety,
reduce motorist delays and air pollution, and improve the overall
productivity of commercial vehicle operations (CVO) through
the use of advanced technology. The FMCSA is currently testing
and evaluating ITS technologies to enhance intrastate and interstate
commercial vehicle operations. The current focus is on creating
transparent borders for interstate commercial vehicles and improving
the safety of commercial vehicle operations.
The SAFER system is now being expanded to include the capability
to provide carrier, vehicle, and driver safety and credential
information to fixed and mobile roadside inspection stations.
This information will allow the roadside inspector to select
vehicles and/or drivers for inspection based on the number of
prior carrier inspections, as well as carrier, vehicle, and
driver safety and credential historical information.
