Poor condition of trucks has been identified by some researchers as an important factor for road and working accidents (driving and extra-driving activities). As a result, the Quebec legislation, in matter of highway safety, considers the vehicle's owner and the driver responsible for the proper mechanical round of a truck, through three procedures: the mechanical inspection, the preventive maintenance and the safety round. However, since many concomitant factors interact at the time of accident and given the complexity inherent to the truck driver's work, some effort has been made to lighten the driver's task through the setting of expert systems, utilizable in situ. Thus, an on-going research aims to design and realize an Expert System for intelligently Assisted Driving (SECOLA). One component of this system deals with the mechanical condition of the vehicle. The purpose of this paper is: to expose the problems met by drivers and owners in their efforts to respect the provincial Highway Safety Code; to present as a whole the solutions chosen during the development of an expert system, and the modalities of their integration into the management of a road merchandise transport company.
