Commercial Vehicle Information Systems and Networks (CVISN) is a collection of information systems, communications networks, and Intelligent Transportation Systems that support commercial vehicle (large truck) operations. The three main functions of CVISN are electronic credentials administration, safety information exchange, and electronic screening or transponder-based preclearance/bypass programs for roadside weigh/inspection stations. This report presents the results of an independent evaluation of the deployment and operation of CVISN technologies across the U.S. With the main goal of measuring the effects of CVISN on the safety, efficiency, and economics of commercial vehicle operations, four main analyses were performed: motor carrier survey, cost analysis, safety analysis, and benefit-cost analysis. In addition, the current status of CVISN deployment was assessed, and qualitative benefits as reported by transportation and law enforcement officials in states deploying CVISN technologies were summarized. A total of 848 commercial motor carrier companies participated in a national survey.
