Current screening is manual Limits coverage Time consuming
Based on: Inspectors’ knowledge of specific carriers Visual check of obvious physical defects Limited conversation with driver Random selection
Determining Which Vehicles to Inspect

International Border Crossing (IBC) e-Screening concept Use of radio frequency identification device (RFID) transponders to
identify drivers and vehicles RFID technology selected because 90% of trucks entering the U.S.
are equipped
Enhancing the Screening Process

7Office of Research and Information Technology
Demonstrated at Santa Teresa, NM port of entry- Low volume (120-140 trips per day)- Staffed 80% of time- Ideal environment for testing and evaluation
14 carriers participated Vehicles screened to validate:
- Currency of CVSA decal and truck registration- Federal operating authority status of carrier- Current insurance- Driver tags/commercial drivers license status
Over 5,500 transponder reads in demo
Phase I – IBC E-Screening Demonstration

8Office of Research and Information Technology
Technology performed reliably (99% accurate) Reduced processing time for selection for inspection (1 sec
vs. 15 min.) Increased number of vehicles subject to inspection
(237/month baseline vs. 965/month during demo) Focused limited enforcement resources Reduces processing for compliant vehicles
Major Findings

Currency of CVSA decal On-site enrollment is time consuming and limiting No way to identify trailer electronically verify compliance All drivers did not have ID cards Screening decision displayed only inside facility
Limitations of Concept

Utilizing International Trade Data System (ITDS) shared by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) with FMCSA Identify carrier, truck, trailer, and driver Eliminate need for on site enrollment Tied to other data sources
Screen on more than 20 factors of interest Requirements analysis in seven border States
Analysis of 20 ports of entry
Developed system requirements
Phase II – Analyses of Demonstration

11Office of Research and Information Technology
Deployment and testing of IBC e-Screening system at 4 border locations
Development of partnerships with States and Customs and Border Protection
Conduct outreach with stakeholders to deploy system nationally Ensure user needs are met
Phase III – Field Operational Test
