Abstract:Roadside Inspection and Traffic Enforcement are two of
the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s
(FMCSA’s) key safety programs. The Roadside
Inspection Program consists of roadside inspections
performed by qualified safety inspectors. These
inspections follow the North American Standard
guidelines, which were developed by FMCSA and the
Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance. Most roadside
inspections are conducted by the States under the Motor
Carrier Safety Assistance Program. There are six levels of
inspections that include a vehicle component, a driver
component, or both. Separately, the Traffic Enforcement
Program is composed of two distinct activities: a traffic
stop as a result of a moving violation, and a subsequent
roadside inspection.
FMCSA developed an analytic model to measure the
effectiveness of roadside inspections and traffic
enforcements in terms of crashes prevented, injuries
prevented, and lives saved. This model, previously
known as the Intervention Model, is currently known as
the Roadside Intervention Effectiveness Model (RIEM).
In this model, traffic enforcements and roadside
inspections are considered interventions.
