IVHS Categories: CVO

The primary object of Commercial Vehicle Operations (CVO) is to increase productivity and safety in the freight transportation industry by streamlining the licensing, registration, regulatory, taxation, and freight delivery processes. CVO integrates most of these processes into a single activity commonly known as "one-stop shopping."

Commercial Vehicle Operations (CVO) comprises the following specific functional elements:

  • Weigh-in-motion (WIM) and automatic vehicle classification (AVC), where commercial vehicles are weighed and classified without being stopped by using in-pavement sensors

  • Automated permit and registration through a centralized system that can be accessed remotely by authorized personnel; i.e., law enforcement agents in all the states traversed from point of origin to point of destination resulting in minimal stopping of commercial vehicles as they cross state boundary lines (a phenomenon known as "transparent border")

  • Automatic tracking of commercial vehicles/cargoes/passengers using AVL/barcode technologies

  • Real-time vehicle routing and scheduling for just-in-time delivery of cargoes and passengers

  • Automated vehicle maintenance record tracking

  • Driver fatigue monitoring using in-vehicle sensor technology that monitors eye movement and vehicle trajectory
