Abstract:

The paradigm for commercial motor vehicle (CMV) maintenance and compliance with safety regulations in 20 years will depend more on onboard sensors, electronics, and self-diagnostics as well as an infrastructure developed to access these signals. However, the need for inspectors and facilities is also likely to increase, both to cover those items that cannot be assessed electronically and to accommodate the increased number of CMVs. The army of certified inspectors will be made up of both government and industry personnel, and the facilities will also likely be a mix of private government-certified shops and government-owned inspection stations. An international database will ensure that vehicles are regularly maintaining compliance with safety regulations and that certified inspectors are performing the inspection objectively. Research in many areas related to this future system will be required.
