Outline
33Introduction - September 2004 CVFM
- An earlier version of this package was presented
to participants of the ITSA Commercial Vehicle
and Freight Mobility (CVFM) Summer Meeting on
September 1, 2004 - In breakout groups, stakeholders refined visions
and concepts for four capability areas - Driver Information Sharing
- Expanded Safety Information Sharing
- Smart Roadside
- Expanded E-Credentialing
Refine Vision and Concepts
34Introduction - September 2004 CVFM
- Reconvened, reviewed revisions, and voted on
priorities - Consider the needs and funding sources available
to your constituency. Suppose you have 1M in
funding from federal, state, or industry sources
combined to spend on Expanded CVISN. On what
concept(s) will you spend those dollars? - Consider what others need to do to help you
achieve your goals. FMCSA and national
organizations like ITSA have finite time and
resources to work on aspects of Expanded CVISN
such as research, architecture and standards,
training, and technical support. In which
concepts should FMCSA and its national partners
invest their resources? - This presentation includes the modified vision
and concept statements. - Overall voting results will be summarized at the
end.
