This report summarizes the deployment activities associated with the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's (FMCSA's) Hazmat Safety and Security Field Operational Test (FOT). The FOT was conducted over a 24-month period, beginning in September, 2002 and culminated in a six-month field testing of multiple technologies. The purpose of the FOT was to quantify the security costs and benefits of an operational concept that applies technology and improved enforcement procedures to hazmat transportation and was scoped to address the following risk areas: driver verification, off-route vehicle alerts, stolen vehicles (both tractors and trailers), unauthorized drivers, cargo tampering, and suspicious cargo deliveries.
