The project was in response to the 1988 Congressional mandate of the Truck and Bus Safety and Regulatory Reform Act (TBSRRA) (Public Law 100-690, Section 9105) for the development of 'minimum uniform standards for a biometric identification system to ensure identification of operators of commercial motor vehicles.' It follows significant earlier FHWA studies of biometrics, including a 1990 project by the California Department of Motor Vehicles and the Orkand Corporation which investigated the use of fingerprinting and retinal scanning for identifying commercial drivers. It is not the role of this study to advocate the creation of a biometric system implementing these standards for use in the identification of commercial drivers.
