Development and implementation of a driver safety history indicator into the roadside inspection selection system

The Inspection Selection System (ISS) is an algorithm and software program used by safety inspectors at the roadside to help identify which vehicles and drivers to inspect based on prior carrier safety history. The concept field test successfully demonstrated the use of Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) and the Carrier-driver-conviction measure as effective means of vehicle and driver selection for roadside inspections.
