The Analysis Research and Technology (ART) Office administers FMCSA Research and Technology (R&T) Program. Through the R&T program, FMCSA seeks to reduce the number and severity of crashes to reduce injuries and fatalities contributing to a safe and secure commercial transportation network. The R&T program is targeting crashes involving Commercial Motor Vehicles (CMVs) and the efficiency of CMV operations through conducting systematic studies directed toward fuller scientific discovery, knowledge, or understanding, adopting, testing, and deploying innovative driver, carrier, vehicle, and roadside best practices and technologies, and expanding the knowledge and portfolio of deployable technology. The development, testing, and deployment of simple and advanced innovative driver/vehicle technologies and integrated IT solutions support the Agency’s priorities by demonstrating new roadside safety technologies and operational concepts, accelerating the deployment of vehicle-based and other safety and security technologies. Also by managing IT projects that integrate data collected and exchanged by various information systems and networks, and providing technical support and assistance to States and the motor carrier industry.
