VII/CVII Can Enable a Wide
Range of Applications!
• Safety & Security Examples
• CV Driver ID/Verification
• CV Safety Data/Wireless
Inspection
• Road Condition Warning
• In-Vehicle Signing
• CV Routing/Geo Fencing
• Truck Parking
• CV Overturn Warning/Control
• Lane/Road Departure
• Intersection Collision Avoidance
• Cargo/Container Tracking
• Mobility Examples
• Tolling
• Traffic Probe Data
• Travel Time
• Incident/Accident Info.
• Electronic Payment
• Navigation/Directions

CVII Program
• I-95 Corridor Coalition funded program
• Complete interoperability! Communicate with any 5.9
GHz DSRC compliant vehicle or infrastructure
• Non-proprietary core system design
capable of duplication
• Integrate 5.9 GHz on-board devices
w/SAE J1708 commercial vehicle
data bus
• Compliant/utilize the standard message
sets SAE J1587, SAE J1939 and
SAE J2735

CVII Program
Existing CVII Contract:
• Develop/Test CV VII compliant OBE system including
Human Vehicle Interface for basic communication of
general transportation related information (I2V)
• Develop/Test CVII DSRC Applications:
CV Driver I.D &Verification (V2I)
Test Wireless Vehicle Safety
Inspection Information (V2I)
CV to Maintenance Vehicle
Communication (V2V)

CVII Program
Future Actions (pending)
• Amend existing CVII Program agreement ($200k)
- Heavy vehicle to light vehicle communication
- Priority safety applications (routing/geo-fencing
warning & safe shut down
Future Actions (longer term)
• Partner with Carriers for long term field tests/pilot
program
• Additional corridors/RSE deployments
• Additional applications: truck parking, overturn
warning, tolling, vehicle to vehicle safety apps.
• Additional communication pathways (non-DSRC)

CVII Program
Roadside to Vehicle Generic Communications
• Back-end application sends network-based static roadside
signage information (height restrictions, weight restrictions,
curve speed warnings, etc) to the vehicle
• Back-end application sends network-based dynamic travel
information (truck travel times, truck parking availability, border
crossing wait times, etc) to the vehicle
• Roadside application sends localized time sensitive dynamic
travel information (workzones(
workzones, , OS/OW temporary restrictions,
geofencing warnings, etc) to the vehicle
• Vehicle receives and displays all the information, following HVI
guidelines
Preliminary

CVII Program
Wireless Driver Identification and Verification (Parked Truck
Scenario)
• Driver inputs identification information and driver’s
identification sent to a roadside application
• Roadside application validates driver’s s identification and CDL
while the vehicle is still in range of the RSE
• Roadside application sends a message to the driver indicating
that his/her CDL is inactive, revoked, or suspended
• Vehicle receives and displays the message to the driver
• Driver is unable to start the commercial vehicle, if the driver’s
CDL is inactive, revoked, or suspended
Preliminary

CVII Program
Wireless Vehicle Safety Inspection (Moving Truck
Scenario)
• Vehicle sends Safety Data Message Set (SDMS) to a
back-end application
• Back-end application validates SDMS data against a
combination of real and/or mock safety databases for
driver, vehicle and carrier data
• Back-end application sends a message to the driver
indicating that there is a driver, vehicle and/or carrier
safety violation
• Vehicle receives and displays the message to the driver
Vehicle receives and displays the message to the driver

FMCSA’s Wireless Roadside Inspection (WRI)
8 – 11/18/08 Preliminary

CVII Program
Maintenance Vehicle to Commercial Vehicle
Communications
• A moving maintenance vehicle (snow
plow) broadcasts a heartbeat-like message
with its vehicle type, position and heading
• A commercial vehicle (truck) following the
snow plow receives and displays a warning
to the driver about the snow plow ahead
