Section Footnotes

  1. For the purposes of this Final Report and to maintain consistency with the UTT system TrailerTRACS Web application, the term "alert" is used in place of "alarm". The only exception is where "alarm" used in Table 1 to directly map to the House of Representatives Report 107-22, which designates that an untethered trailer tracking and control system will provide "... unscheduled movement notification, door sensors, and alarms."
