摘要：	The Driver Violation Notification (DVN) Feasibility Study analyzes the design of commercial driver history notification systems - sometimes called Employee/Employer Pull Notice (EPN) or Driver Pull Notice (DPN) programs - and their relationship to highway safety. The DVN systems provide the mechanism for addressing driver-based safety concerns by enabling regulatory agencies to notify employers of changes to a driver's Commercial Driver's License (CDL) record in a timely manner. Employers are not always notified about CDL driver convictions in a timely manner and, therefore, are unable to take immediate and appropriate corrective action. DVN programs attempt to address this basic problem. This study focused on providing a time-efficient means for notifying employers when their CDL drivers are convicted of driving violations or experience CDL status changes. The DVN Study Team started by developing the concept of a 'benefits window' associated with the time between a conviction for a driving violation and the time an employer becomes aware of the convictions and takes action to mitigate the potential negative consequences of high-risk driving behavior. The study illustrates how reducing the time between conviction and notification of an employer can provide opportunities for employers to take action to reduce these consequences. Currently, ten states offer DVN programs, which provide the basis for assessing program design and success, and for establishing requirements for potential expansion to a national program. A key study component was the conduct of site visits to each of these states. The DVN Study Team conducted a five-stage research program, focused on determining whether an expanded DVN program would help meet the safety and productivity goals for both industry and government. This document presents an Executive Summary of the technical memoranda and analyses prepared for the five tasks of this project. The report is primarily targeted towards commercial motor vehicle employers that can use these programs, and the states that can create these opportunities for timely notification of driver convictions.
