Commercial Vehicle Information Systems and Networks (CVISN) is the collection of information systems and communication networks that support commercial vehicle operations (CVO.) The National ITS Architecture provides a technical framework that describes how ITS elements fit together into an overall system. The CVISN Architecture is the ITS/CVO information systems portion of the National ITS Architecture. It is not a new information system, but rather a way for existing and newly-designed systems to exchange information through the use of standards and available communications infrastructure. CVISN includes information systems owned and operated by federal and state governments, motor carriers, and other stakeholders. CVISN will enable government agencies, the motor carrier industry, and other parties engaged in CVO safety and regulation to exchange information and conduct business transactions electronically. The Transportation Equity Act for the 21 st Century (TEA-21) established a goal for a majority of states to deploy CVISN by September 30, 2003. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) are commited to work with any state interested in CVISN deployment to integrate its CVO information systems that support safe and seamless commercial transportation throughout North America. These systems will provide high-quality, timely, and easily-accessible information to authorized users. |
