In this report, the evaluation performed on the first phase of the Transit XPress system is presented. The system comprises of a traffic/safety control center, motor vehicle instrumentation, and a variety of off vehicle tools that communicate with each other. These include electronic tags for cargo components, radar guns, cellular communication, etc. The system was evaluated by involving motor carrier operators and incident responders. The overall perception of the draft system configuration (at the time there was no complete functional system) is positive and it is a significant improvement over existing systems. The system appears, however, to need tailoring to the needs of each actor involved, and should be complemented by other systems such as CHEMTREC, CAMEO, etc. In addition, perception and intention of use is different between the two groups examined in this evaluation.
