Credentials and Taxes Administration

This Equipment package provides administrative capabilities for commercial vehicle operations including database management and administrator-to-roadside and administrator-to-administrator interfaces. For example, this Equipment package would manage the electronic credentials database for a state, perform reconciliation of mileage and fuel taxes (possibly post trip), and interface with roadsides performing credential checks. This equipment package communicates with similar packages in other CVAS locations to exchange credentials database information. Example locations would be state agency or regional offices that are involved with commercial vehicle operations.

 

CV Data Collection

This equipment package collects and stores commercial vehicle information that is collected in the course of Commercial Vehicle Administration Subsystem operations. This data can be used directly by operations personnel or it can be made available to other data users and archives in the region.

 

CV Information Exchange

This equipment package supports the exchange of safety and credentials data among jurisdiction. The package also supports the exchange of safety and credentials data between agencies (for example, an administrative center and the roadside check facilities) within a single jurisdiction. Data are collected from multiple authoritative sources and packaged into snapshots (top-level summary and critical status information) and profiles (detailed and historical data).

 

CV Safety Administration

This Equipment package augments the Credentials and Taxes Administration Equipment package with safety data. This package ensures that safety criteria are available for automated roadside safety checks. It supports the collection and review of carrier safety data and determines the carrier safety rating.
