Corridor Software Company Releases New Commercial Motor Vehicle Technology

The Commercial Motor Vehicle Technology Showcase, held Thursday, Oct. 14, at the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s Roadside Technology Corridor on Interstate 81 in Greene County, Tenn., featured new and emerging roadside inspection technologies designed to improve the safety performance of commercial trucks and buses.

FMCSA Administrator Anne S. Ferro participated in the showcase, which provided a first-hand look at how new technology can assist state law enforcement during commercial motor vehicle safety inspections.  “FMCSA is committed to strengthening commercial vehicle safety through the use of new technology,” said Ferro. “By providing a platform to test, evaluate and refine new enforcement technologies, we are able to clearly understand their benefits and encourage deployment on the state level.”

Among the new safety technologies demonstrated was Wireless Roadside Inspection (WRI), from Innovative Software Engineering of Coralville, Iowa.

Using a fixed site or mobile vehicle, the WRI is designed to conduct up to 25 times more vehicle inspections a year than the current, in-person inspection process. In real time, an inspector can obtain driver and carrier identity, vehicle condition and hours-of-service violations while the vehicle is traveling at highway speed.

Additionally, QSI Corporation, designer and manufacturer of rugged human machine interface (HMI) and mobile data terminals, announced it will offer the mDash 4 on-board computer with ISE Fleet Services, a new company by mobile software provider Innovative Software Engineering.

The mDash 4 is a combination of technologies from ISE Fleet Services and QSI Corporation and is part of ISE Fleet Services’ eFleetSuite product family.   eFleetSuite is a set of end-to-end applications designed to reduce risk, prevent accidents, boost productivity and manage FMCSA compliance.
