Problems Facing Safety Inspectors at the Border
Inefficient Vehicle Selection Process Inability to identify and assess safety of CMVs before
vehicles enter inspection area No information on which trucks are approaching the border
their location within the inspection site Potential duplication of FMCSA/state inspection efforts
3Office of Research and Information Technology
Proposed Solutions: Less Time Selecting, More Time Inspecting
Use technology to identify trucks entering the US Electronically assess driver, vehicle, and carrier safety and
regulatory compliance status in Federal databases Inform FMCSA and state safety inspectors of safety
problems to select commercial vehicles for physical inspection
Provide information to safety inspectors via portable devices (e.g., laptop, tablet, smart phone, etc)
Share inspection results with states to eliminate duplication of effort

International Border Crossing e-Screening Project
Purpose: Field operations test of technology to improve safety and efficiency for FMCSA and State safety inspectors at the border
Key deliverables: E-screening system deployed at three border crossing sites (Ysleta,
TX, Nogales, AZ and New York State) Technical documents, software, system performance data Final report summarizing system operations and effectiveness
Contract award date: June 2011 (36 months)

Cloud-Based Mobile System Concept
Advancements in cloud-based and mobile computing technologies offer more flexibility, portability and security support for inspectors One system can support FMCSA/State Inspectors at multiple types of
border crossings Display in a booth at arrival Roaming a Federal or State compound Checking a queue in advance of arrival Mobile enforcement downstream of border crossings (yards to miles) Can potentially support a CBP Inspector
One system can support multiple states and border crossing locations at the same time
