Last summer, SC&RA gained a major victory when the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration granted the Association’s request for an exemption for specialized carriers to the mandatory 30-minute rest break requirement as part of Hours of Service Rules for drivers. Learn what this development can mean for your company from two carriers that have safely and efficiently taken advantage of the exemption.
Speaker:
Danny Cain, Safety Director, Edwards Moving & Rigging
Larry Minor, will update attendees on the proposed rules relating to four specific aspects of the hours-of-service (HOS) for which the Agency is considering changes: Expanding the current 100 air-mile “short-haul” exemption; Extending the current 14-hour on-duty limitation; Revising the current mandatory 30-minute break; and reinstating the option for splitting up the required 10-hour off-duty rest break for drivers operating trucks that are equipped with a sleeper-berth compartment.

Smart traffic management system with its advantages JosephCraven4
The urban sector prioritizes Transit Signal Priority (TSP) as there is more moderate to high demand for transit service, and bus headways are less than 15 minutes. The urban sector system is executed to expedite buses' movement with high occupancy, thus supporting any negative consequences on other traffic and lowering the overall person-delay at intersections.
Wondering what is new with regards to the Federal Motor Carriers and the State Patrol? Want to know the latest in enforcement and direction of these agencies? What are the “hot buttons” for the roadside inspectors? Are officers being trained on electronic log devices?
Join us for an informative event featuring representatives from these two organizations and learn about the newest FMCSA and DOT issues affecting the transportation industry.

Implementation of Fuzzy Logic with High Security Registration Plate (HSRP) fo...cscpconf
In Automobile Industries, to use of High Security Registration plate (HSRP) is still a
challenging problem. There are more options to misuse the vehicle and exchange its engine,
chassis, gear box, axle etc., In an existing system, the Regional Transport Office (RTO) only
determine an abstract of the vehicle and its owner. The vehicles are classified using piezo
sensor and inductive loop systems. The toll-plaza is used only collected fees from the vehicles
for maintain the quality roads. There are no authorized agencies allotted to identify the vehicle
checking and no possibilities to control the vehicle overloading. The proposed system, toll-plaza
will be act as a multi-plaza. Vehicles are classified with weight and speed. Then it is checking in
toll-plaza either passed or checked. In this paper, The system uses illumination (such as Infrared)
and a camera to take the image of the front or rear of the vehicle, then an extracts the plate
information. This data is used for enforcement and it can be used to open a gate if the vehicle is
checked with RTO data in toll-plaza. In vehicle checking, we develop new rules using a fuzzy
logic to improve the performance. The features of this system are implemented in the upgrading
vehicles only. It is used to control the overloading to maintain road safety and to identify the
theft vehicle to reduce the crime and terrorism. As Bharat Stage Emission (BSE) standard
vehicles are implemented in India very aggressively. The emission standard vehicles are
serviced only in authorized service centre not for doing and end root machines.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Safety Fitness Determination
(NPRM, January 21, 2016)
Revised methodology would determine when a motor carrier
is “unfit” and provide the Agency with the ability to issue
proposed ratings based on:
• On-road safety data - the carrier’s safety performance in
relation to the Behavioral Analysis and Safety Improvement
Categories (BASICs);
• An investigation; or
• A combination of on-road safety data and investigation
information.
3. • Factor 1 – General: Parts 387 and 390.
• Factor 2 – Driver: Parts 382, 383, 391.
• Factor 3 – Operational: Parts 392 and 395.
• Factor 4 – Vehicle: Parts 393 and 396.
• Factor 5 – HM (Parts 397, 171, 177 and 180.
• Factor 6 – Accidents (Recordable Rate, with
preventability review).
Current SFD Regulatory Factors
5. Proposed SFD Process
• Only one fitness determination – Unfit.
• If the carrier is not unfit, the company may continue to
operate.
• Carriers would be compared to fixed failure standard
not percentiles (as in SMS);
– Not impacted by changes in other carriers’ scores.
• Crash Data: Preventability review still required.
6. Absolute failure standard would be specified in the rule,
equivalent to the following percentiles:
• Hours of Service Compliance – 96th percentile;
• Unsafe Driving - 96th percentile;
• Vehicle Maintenance – 99th percentile;
• Driver Fitness – 99th percentile;
• Hazardous Materials Compliance – 99th percentile
• Crash Indicator – Investigations only;
• Controlled Substances/Alcohol – Investigations only.
On-Road Safety Data BASICs
7. • 2+ BASICs above the failure standard (= to
96/99 percentile) based on roadside data ;
• Violations of critical and/or acute regulations
that result in 2 failed BASICs found in an
investigation;
• 1 failed BASIC from investigation + 1 failed
BASIC from roadside;
3 Ways to Proposed Unfit
8. • Intervention thresholds in SMS – much lower than SFD
thresholds.
• SMS only needs 3 or 5 inspections to score – SFD would
need 11+ inspections with violations on each inspection.
• SMS is based on percentiles – SFD would be based on
absolute performance measures.
• SMS scores can be impacted by other carriers – SFD would
only be impacted by carrier’s inspections.
Differences Between SMS and SFD
10. (Final Rule, December 16, 2015)
• (1) Prescribes minimum technical standards for ELDs.
• (2) Subject to a limited exception, requires drivers who need
to keep RODS to use ELDs.
• (3) Establishes explicit requirements for HOS supporting
documents, specifying the “number, type and frequency.”
• (4) Prohibits harassment of drivers and establishes a
complaint process for drivers, due process for carriers and
specifies civil penalties.
Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs)
11. ELD Mandate
Motor carriers subject to the RODS (logbook)
requirements under 49 CFR Part 395 must ensure
that drivers use ELDs beginning December 18, 2017.
Motor carriers currently using automatic on-board
recording devices (AOBRDs) to satisfy the RODS
requirement must make the transition to ELDs no
later than December 16, 2019.
12. Exceptions to the ELD Mandate
Drivers that are required to prepare RODS no more
than 8 days within any 30-day period;
Drivers in a driveaway-towaway operation in which
the vehicle being driven is part of the shipment
being delivered – this includes vehicle built for and
sold to the armed forces;
Drivers operating a commercial motor vehicle
manufactured before model year 2000.
13. HOS Supporting Documents
Motor carriers must retain up to 8 supporting
documents for every 24-hour period;
Documents should contain the following:
– Driver name or carrier-assigned identification
number
– Date
– Location (including name of nearest city, town, or
village; and,
– Time
14. Supporting Documents (Cont.)
Supporting documents consist of the following five categories:
Bills of lading, itineraries, schedules, or equivalent documents
that indicate the origin and destination of each trip;
Dispatch records, trip records, or equivalent documents;
Expense receipts;
Electronic mobile communication records, reflecting
communications transmitted through a fleet management
system (FMS);
Payroll records, settlement sheets, or equivalent documents
that indicates payment to a driver.
15. Prohibition Against Harassment
“Harassment” covers an action by a motor carrier
toward one of its drivers that the motor carrier know,
or should have known, would result in the driver
violating § 392.3, concerning ill or fatigued operation
of a CMV, or violating the requirements under Part
395.
Harassment must involve information available to the
motor carrier through an ELD or other technology
used in combination with and not separable from an
ELD.
16. Entry-Level Driver Training
(NPRM, Spring 2016)
Section 32304 of MAP-21
The regulations must address knowledge and skills for drivers, with
specific requirements for drivers seeking a passenger or hazmat
endorsement.
Classroom and behind-the-wheel training is required.
Rules must require that training providers demonstrate that their
training meets the Federal standards.
February 2015 – May 2015: ELDTAC Negotiated Rulemaking
Committee meetings were conducted.
Published on March 7, 2016
17. ELDTAC Recommendations
Class A CDL – 30 hours of behind-the-wheel (BTW)
training; Class B CDL – 15 hours of BTW training.
All CDL training providers would be listed on a Training
Provider Registry; training providers would complete an
identification report and provide a biennial update.
Training providers must submit training certificates to
FMCSA; FMCSA will transmit the certificates to the State
licensing agency.
NPRM planned for Spring 2016; Final Rule planned for Fall
2016.
18. ELDTAC Recommendations (Cont.)
Six (6) separate curricula recommended:
– Class A CDL;
– Class B CDL;
– Hazardous Materials (H) endorsement;
– Passenger (P) endorsement;
– School Bus (S) endorsement; and
– Refresher training (R) restriction.
Maintain current State-discretion exceptions from CDL
testing rules for agriculture and military – no new training
requirements.
19. National Registry
April 20, 2012 – Final rule to establish minimum
training and testing requirements for all medical
examiners who issue medical certificates for interstate
truck and bus drivers.
May 21, 2014 (Compliance date) – All medical cards
issued on or after that date must be provided by
examiners on the registry.
Examiners must complete training course and testing,
and submit medical certificate information to FMCSA on
everyone who applies for a medical card.
20. National Registry Statistics:
May 2014 – December 2015
45,038 certified examiners (completed the training and testing)
8,087,842 medical examinations were conducted.
o 7,817,424 drivers received medical certificates
58-59%, 2-year medical cards
≈ 30%, 1-year medical cards
≈ 5%, 3-month medical cards
≈ 1.6%, < 3-month medical cards
o 203,632 drivers were temporarily disqualified (2.5%).
o 66,786 drivers were disqualified (0.8%).
21. National Registry II
(Final Rule, April 23, 2015)
Requires medical examiners to submit medical certificates to
FMCSA on a daily basis for each driver they examine.
– FMCSA will transmit the medical certificates to the State
driver licensing agencies for CDL holders (June 2018).
– State licensing agencies will also be able to download the
medical certificates from FMCSA for CDL holders and CDL
applicants (June 2018).
The rule will decrease the risks of falsification of medical
cards.
22. National Registry (FAST Act – VA)
Section 5403 – Veterans may obtain their medical
certificates to operate CMVs in interstate commerce from the
VA. The VA doctor must:
– Be employed by the VA;
– Be familiar with the standards for medical certification;
– Have never “acted fraudulently.”
DOT must develop a process for qualified physicians to
perform medical exams and provide medical certificates –
including listing on the National Registry of Certified Medical
Examiners.
23. Obstructive Sleep Apnea
(ANPRM, February 2016)
FMCSA and FRA will jointly issue the ANPRM to gather information about:
The prevalence of moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) among
individuals occupying safety sensitive positions in rail and highway
transportation;
The potential economic impact and safety benefits associated with
regulatory actions that would result in transportation workers in these
positions, who exhibit multiple risk factors for OSA, undergoing evaluation
by a healthcare professional with expertise in sleep disorders, and
subsequent treatment.
Published on March 10, 2016
24. Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse
(Final Rule, Spring 2016)
Motor carriers, Medical Review Officers (MROs), Substance Abuse
Professionals (SAPs), and consortia/third party administrators
