Status: Planned
Description: Includes static scales and weigh–in–motion facilities that are or will be equipped with ITS electronic clearance and safety inspection equipment. These facilities also provide a haven for rest for commercial vehicle drivers. Florida motor carrier inspectors at the roadside use the Aspen system. Driver / Vehicle safety Inspection software improves the entire inspection process by providing roadside access to various safety performance information including, the last recent inspection results, the driver's CDL status and the safety performance and past safety problems of the carrier. ASPEN can be seen as an intelligent assistant which ensures complete and accurate data collection at the roadside. Inspectors select applicable violations from lists of possible citations and add descriptive notes as needed. The program is highly customizable for use by different States. ASPEN prints an inspection report on site which is given to the driver. A copy also can be faxed to carrier management.
