Tested Technologies

The following technologies were tested in this scenario:

• Wireless Satellite Communications (w/GPS)
• Wireless Terrestrial Communications handheld w/pickup and delivery (P & D) software
• Driver Authentication with Global Login
• Intelligent Onboard Computers (OBC)
  • Wireless Vehicle Disabling

A.1.2 Technologies by Truck

Tables A-1 and A-2 present the specific technologies that were installed on each of the 25 trucks that were tested in this scenario. The suite of technologies are mapped to the technology tier described earlier as well as the functional requirements that was addressed.

A.1.3 Operational Description of Scenario

Cox and Dupre had used the satellite system extensively before and during the actual FOT. They both use the system for positioning, daily messaging, and operations. Terrestrial communications were added to Cox and digital phones to Dupre to see how they would perform in the fuel delivery market.

Driver identification was performed with the Global Login feature that was new to both operations. The drivers had to login their username and password after each time the truck was started or had been disabled. This proved to be extensive in this operation.

Both carriers also had wired and wireless panic buttons installed in their tractors. The panic buttons were only used during on-site evaluations with the evaluators and during public agency testing with Texas DPS and California CHP. The Wireless Vehicle Disable (WVD) was also used during these controlled tests with the state agencies and evaluators in a controlled environment to disable the throttle of the tractor.

Lastly, Cox had onboard computers (OBC) installed on their tractors. The functionality of these OBC's for loss of signal disabling, and OTA disabling were tested on site at Cox in a controlled environment during CHP and evaluation testing.

A.2 Scenario 2 - LTL High Hazard

Scenario (2a) with Distribution Technologies involved 12 dedicated high hazard "LTL-like" type of vehicles. These vehicles are tanks with segregated partitions which carry up to seven different types of chemicals/hazards entailing seven stops per trip. Vehicles were dispatched out of Macon Georgia, and cover various southeast U.S. locations. The actual technologies installed per truck are listed later in Table A-3.

Scenario (2b) with Roadway Express involved 13 LTL Pick up and Delivery (P&D) type of vehicles. This part of the FOT monitored a lower cost (terrestrial hardware) technology installed on a national LTL fleet with a very high degree of integration and efficiencies. These trucks are dedicated for local P&D operations, usually without a dedicated driver, route or truck. The trucks provided were based out of San Diego, California, for the purposes of this test. The technologies that were installed per truck are listed later in Table A-4.

A.2.3 Operational Description of Scenario

Distribution Technology (DisTech) had used the satellite system extensively before and during the actual FOT. Roadway Express had used the terrestrial system extensively before the FOT but not in the new market of San Diego California. They both use the system for positioning, daily messaging, and operations.

Driver identification was performed with the Global Login feature for DisTech only in this scenario. The drivers had to login their username and password after each time the tractor was started or had been disabled.

DisTech also had wired and wireless panic buttons installed in their tractors. The panic buttons were only used during on site evaluations with the evaluators. The Wireless Vehicle Disable (WVD) was also used during these controlled tests with the evaluators in a controlled environment to disable the throttle of the tractor.

A.3.3 Operational Description of Scenario

Transport Services and Quality Services had used the satellite system extensively before and during the actual FOT. They both use the system for positioning, daily messaging, and operations. Roeder Cartage was a new user of the satellite system for the purposes of this FOT.

Driver identification was performed with the Biometric Login feature for all participants in this scenario. The drivers had to login using their fingerprint and smartcard after each time the tractor was started or had been disabled.

All three carriers had wired and wireless panic buttons installed in their tractors. The panic buttons were only used during on site evaluations with the evaluators. The Wireless Vehicle Disable (WVD) was also used during these controlled tests with the evaluators in a controlled environment to disable the throttle of the tractor.

All trucks in this scenario also had the ability to perform electronic manifest. Dow utilized it with Transport Services shipping product to Nufarm in Illinois. BP utilized it with Roeder Cartage on runs to Evans Chemical in Waterloo. BP was not able to utilize it with Quality due to consignee Eli Lily being unable to accommodate this test at the last moment.

A.4 Scenario 4 - Truckload Explosives

Scenario 4a with R&R Trucking involved 12 truckload explosive delivery vehicles, delivering Class 1.1 - 1.6, Explosives. The loads were delivered using dedicated trucks with dedicated routes.
