| Summary |
This U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) project was authorized in the 2004 Senate Conference Report 108-401. As proposed by the Senate, the conference agreement directs $2,000,000 from funds provided for the high-priority initiative program for an expanded satellite-based mobile communications system to monitor and track hazardous materials and high-value cargo in uncovered areas of the United States. As a result, a regional assessment and 3-month pilot test was conducted to test a wireless, satellite-based mobile communications tracking system to monitor hazardous materials and high-value cargo in order to improve communications in certain regions of Alaska and Hawaii, where satellite-based tracking services were only partially available. This document represents the Final Report for this pilot test of an Expanded Satellite-based Mobile Communications Tracking System. |
