The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Robot Systems Division is participating in a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) program that is to lead to the recommendation of standards in Vehicle-to-Roadside Communications (VRC) equipment used in commercial vehicle operations (CVO). There is substantial motivation to develop these standards, both on the part of the government and the CVO community. A standardized VRC system will allow states to check credentials, weight, and safety parameters while commercial vehicles travel at highway speeds of up to 160 km/h. This will improve the current situation in which substantial time and productivity is lost while commercial vehicles stop and wait for inspections. More sophisticated systems may employ weigh-in-motion equipment, on-vehicle sensors to determine brake temperature and other parameters in real-time, and other subsystems (navigation, etc.) capable of generating relevant data. This communications link will serve an important role in passing data between various on-board intelligent control system computers and the roadside systems.
