{"product_id":"2940149073214","title":"Analysis of Benefits and Costs of Forward Collision Warning Systems for the Trucking Industry","description":"The goal of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) isto reduce the number \u003cbr\u003eand severity of commercial motor vehicle (CMV) crashes. Over the last several years, FMCSA \u003cbr\u003ehas collaborated with the trucking industry to test, evaluate, and encourage the deployment of \u003cbr\u003eeffective onboard safety systems for CMVs toenhance the safety of all roadway users. \u003cbr\u003eThe purpose of this document is to provide economic benefits, expected costs, and industry \u003cbr\u003ereturns on investment for forward collision warning systems described herein. Verification of the \u003cbr\u003ecosts and benefits of safety systems is critical for facilitating voluntary acceptance of these \u003cbr\u003esystems within the motor carrier industry. To ensure deployment, systems must be cost-effective \u003cbr\u003einvestments that meet user needs. Confidence in onboard safetysystems’ ability to reduce \u003cbr\u003ecommercial-motor-vehicle-involved fatalities and injuries is a necessary precondition for \u003cbr\u003eacceptance and adoption of these systems. \u003cbr\u003eThe benefit-cost analysis presented in this document covers financial metrics, such as return on \u003cbr\u003einvestment and payback periods, for the end-users of the onboard safety systems—commercial \u003cbr\u003emotor carriers. This document intends to augment, rather than supersede, previous analyses that \u003cbr\u003ehave been focused on onboard safety systems. \u003cbr\u003eThe development of this analysis required the solicitation and collection of data sets from \u003cbr\u003emultiple industry resources. This information collection is covered by the Office of Management \u003cbr\u003eand Budget (OMB) and Paperwork Reduction Act exemption for ITS-related surveys, \u003cbr\u003equestionnaires, and interviews defined in Section 5305, Title V, Subtitle C, paragraph (i) (2) \u003cbr\u003eof the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users \u003cbr\u003e(SAFETEA-LU) of 2005, which states, “Any survey, questionnaire, or interview that the \u003cbr\u003eSecretary considers necessary to carry out the evaluation of any test or program assessment \u003cbr\u003eactivity under this subchapter shall not be subject to chapter 35 of title 44.”","brand":"ReadCycle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47108924702960,"sku":"2940149073214","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149073214_p0.jpg?v=1763712414","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149073214","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
