Current ICT Project
Investigators:
  Prof. P. Nelson (Primary)
Project Title:
  Commercial Vehicle Information Systems and Networks (CVISN)
Start Date: 9/6/2006
End Date: 3/31/2007
Summary of Project:
  A Commercial Vehicle Information Exchange Window was developed to exchange motor carrier safety information with other federal and state agencies involved with motor carrier regulation. The ICT project also developed system requirements for a Commercial Vehicle Information Systems and Networks (CVISN) to exchange motor vehicle information amongst the Department of Transportation, the Secretary of State, and the Department of Revenue. Other project deliverables that serve to improve vehicle regulations include a roadside information viewing mechanism; a system for oversize/overweight vehicle permitting, tracking, and mapping; and an input system for the Illinois Department of Revenue’s International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) program. The use of CVISN improves Illinois highway safety, streamlines regulation of the trucking industry, and enhances motor carrier efficiency and productivity.
Objective of Project:
  Develop system requirements for a Commercial Vehicle Information Systems and Networks to exchange motor vehicle information among the IL Department of Transportation, the IL Secretary of State and the Illinois Department of Revenue.
Expected Outcome:
  The final result includes the development and selection of system requirements that would be inserted into an RFP for CVISN deployment. CVISN could improve highway safety, streamline regulation of the trucking industry, and enhance motor carrier efficiency and productivity.
