The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) funded this pilot test to (1) develop generic voluntary requirements for an untethered trailer tracking system using as a model a proprietary system that includes specific capabilities, and (2) field test a system that meets these requirements. This document outlines the requirements for this untethered trailer tracking system, provides a detailed break down of the individual technologies used, and outlines how, using a total of seventy five (75) trailers outfitted with QUALCOMMs T2 Untethered Trailer Tracking units and door and cargo sensors, these requirements could be met under three different operational scenarios (Truck load/Dry Van, High Value, Explosives/Hazmat) using field tests.
