In the wireless drayage updating (WDU) project, each participating truck will have a truck-mounted driver interface device (T-MDID) which will be linked wirelessly to the cross town improvement program (C-TIP) system. The T-MDID will be the primary link for truck drivers to participate in the C-TIP pilot demonstration. Through the T-MDID, drivers will send location and trip status information and receive trip assignments and traffic information. The T-MDID will be able to send, receive, and enter data. The devices will be wireless, global positioning system (GPS) enabled, and will have a viewing screen and interface capability for the motor carrier driver's use. Safety requirements for in-cab use will include: 1) the device will not allow the driver to interface while the vehicle is moving, 2) the device will not be mounted in a location that obstructs the driver's view outside the vehicle, and 3) the device will be mounted in a location within easy reach and not where it hinders or prevents any other aspects of vehicle operation. |
