Status of WRI Testing |
Since the FMCSA launched Phase 3 of the Wireless Roadside Inspection (WRI) research project, the research has now entered into the full field operation testing (FOT). This phase includes testing of the pre-production WRI system on commercial vehicles in their normal operational environment.
- On March 15, 2016, the WRI project entered into the full FOT. To date, 408 vehicles are enrolled in the FOT with the balance of the vehicles expected in the near-term.
- The 50-truck pre-FOT was conducted January 16, 2016 through March 14, 2016 and was preceeded by a 5-truck pre-FOT during November 16, 2015 through January 15, 2016.
