The Executive Office of the Commonwealth of Kentucky has been awarded a $1,433,146 Project Grant from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) under the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance High Priority Activities Grants and Cooperative Agreements program (CFDA 20.237). The purpose of this award is to enhance and expand the state's Truck Parking Information Management Systems (TPIMS) and improve the identification and reporting of missing commercial motor vehicle (CMV) license plate data.

The project objectives are to: 1) Implement technology enhancements to the existing TPIMS to improve the accuracy of parking information provided to CMV drivers, and expand the TPIMS to provide more comprehensive truck parking data across Kentucky. 2) Analyze historical CMV screening data and photos to determine the root causes of license plate decoding errors, and develop a process to track and report on these issues to inform other jurisdictions. This project will help reduce the time required for CMV drivers to find available parking and assist the state in identifying and addressing commercial vehicle data quality challenges.

The purpose of this award to the executive office of the commonwealth of kentucky is to enhance and expand the truck parking information management systems (tpims) and the missing CMV license plate data identification and reporting projects. This enhancement will assist in reducing the amount of time required to find a parking space for CMV drivers. This project will aid drivers reducing the chance of exceeding hours-of-service rules and assist the state in identifying data quality issues.project 1 objective:the purpose of this project is to enhance and expand truck parking information management systems (tpims) in kentucky. Technology enhancements will be implemented at current locations with the goal of improving the accuracy of information provided to motor carriers traveling through kentucky. Expansion will also occur with the goal of providing more comprehensive truck parking information to commercial vehicle drivers in kentucky.project 2 objective:analyze historical kentucky automated truck screening system screening data and photos to determine the breakdown of CMV database errors that result from incorrectly decoded license plate strings as opposed to correctly decoded license plate strings that could not be matched to vehicle screening data. Create a process for analyzing incorrect plate reads that tabulates the number of problems encountered and build a report that will inform other jurisdictions about the existence of vehicles not in their states safer data.
