The purpose of this award to the utah department of transportation motor carrier division is for the seatbelt handheld device use detection system, the hazardous materials detection system the detection of height, width, length and size projects, which will benefit the motor carrier industry by reducing CMV crashes involving ejection mitigating distracted driving incidents improving compliance with seatbelt regulations and handheld device prohibitions decreasing crashes by employing technological solutions to preemptively tackle issues and flaws before accidents happen and electronic notification to motor carrier operations for items such as inspections and permit verifications. Project 1 objective:the objective of this project is to enhance the current e-screening infrastructure by integrating additional screen tools: cameras dedicated to monitoring cmvs for compliance with seat belt regulations, as well as detecting handheld device usage while driving. To achieve this goal, utah plans to begin by adding the additional camera at three ports of entry: perry POE in northern utah, peerless POE in east central utah, and ST. George POE in southern utah.project 2 objective:under this project the utah MCD will accomplish the following objectives: increase the accuracy of hazardous material identification by 20% through the implementation of a single-camera system and specialized software to detect and interpret placards, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of our e-screening system enhance the efficiency of truck selection for e-screening by integrating DAD on placarded loads, leading to a 30% increase in the identification of potentially hazardous materials during routine screenings.project 3 objective:the purpose of this project is to install a new height detection system as part of our existing e-screening program that is three dimensional, and can measure height, width, length and overall size. This is for 11 sites total.project 4 reduction narrative ($650,120)the existing e-screening hardware upgrade replacement project is not funded. The existing e-screening hardware upgrade replacement project is too broad, the upgrade replace technologies to be implemented are not specified in the application. IT is difficult to determine what specific technologies and locations funding is being requested for and therefore unable to determine if the costs and scope are reasonable.
