About this award
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) awarded Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) a delivery order valued at $2.06M to conduct a research study examining the "Impact of Driver Detention Time on Safety and Operations." This contract, which originated on July 19, 2022, operates under a firm fixed-price structure with no set-aside designation. The study is being performed at Virginia Tech's Blacksburg, Virginia campus, with the ultimate completion date extended through February 28, 2027 via a four-month no-cost extension. Virginia Tech engaged two primary subcontractors to support this research: Scopelitis Transportation Consulting LLC and Telematics & Video Services LLC, bringing specialized expertise in transportation consulting and data collection capabilities to the project.
This delivery order advances the FMCSA's mission to improve commercial motor carrier safety by investigating how driver detention periods affect both safety outcomes and operational efficiency within the transportation industry. Virginia Tech's research capabilities, combined with subcontractor expertise in transportation analysis and telemetry data, position this effort to generate evidence-based findings that could inform future regulatory and operational standards for the commercial trucking sector. The extended performance timeline through early 2027 allows for comprehensive data collection and analysis necessary to produce actionable insights on this critical safety topic.
