COMPREHENSIVE SAFETY ANALYSIS 2010
SAFETY MEASUREMENT SYSTEM (SMS) METHODOLOGY
Version 1.2
Revised March 2010
Prepared for: Prepared by:
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration John A. Volpe National Transportation

Preface
This report documents the Safety Measurement System (SMS) methodology developed to support the Comprehensive Safety Analysis 2010 (CSA 2010) Initiative for the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). The SMS is one of the major tools for measuring the safety of individual motor carriers and Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) drivers. Such measures help identify and monitor safety problems as part of the CSA 2010 safety improvement process.
Many of the concepts used to construct the SMS originated from the SafeStat measurement system. SafeStat was developed at the U.S. Department of Transportation‘s John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (the Volpe Center) in Cambridge, MA, under a project plan agreement with the Federal Highway Administration‘s Office of Motor Carriers, FMCSA‘s predecessor. It was designed and tested under the Federal/State Performance & Registration Information Systems Management (PRISM) program in the mid 1990s. Since then, SafeStat has been implemented nationally to prioritize motor carriers for on-site Compliance Reviews (CRs). SafeStat output has been made available to the public via the Internet on the Analysis & Information (A&I) website at http://www.ai.fmcsa.dot.gov.
The SMS design builds on the lessons learned from developing and implementing SafeStat for CR prioritization. However, the SMS also incorporates new CSA 2010 requirements for identifying specific types of unsafe behaviors that the entities exhibit. A more specialized set of interventions will now address these unsafe behaviors and the system will also expand the use of on-road safety violation data. In January 2008, FMCSA started an Operational Model (OM) Test of the CSA 2010 Initiative, which includes using the SMS to identify and monitor unsafe carrier and CMV driver behavior. Version 1.2 of the Methodology incorporates feedback from the OM Test and was implemented in the OM Test in April 2009. This November revision further clarifies some of the SMS features originally documented in April 2009, but does not represent any changes to the methodology. Future SMS development will be part of a continuous improvement process based on results and feedback from this OM Test.
The Volpe Center Technical Project Manager for developing the SMS is David Madsen of the System Measurement and Analysis Division of the Center for Safety Management Systems. Eran Segev, also of the System Measurement and Analysis Division, headed the analysis leading to the SMS design and methodology. Further technical support was provided by the following Volpe Center staff: Lee Biernbaum, Gustaf Lawson, Richard (Kha) Nguyen, Amy Olanyk, and Jonathan Pearlman.

1. Introduction
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is developing a new OM through its Comprehensive Safety Analysis 2010 (CSA 2010) Initiative. The goal of CSA 2010 is to develop and implement more effective and efficient ways for FMCSA, its state partners, and the trucking industry to reduce CMV crashes, fatalities, and injuries. CSA 2010 will help FMCSA and its state partners to impact the safety behavior of more carriers and drivers, use continually improving data to better identify high-risk carriers and drivers, and apply a wider range of interventions to reduce high-risk behavior.1
As part of this effort, FMCSA has identified the attributes and components of a model for safety oversight that it considers ideal: flexibility, efficiency, effectiveness, innovation, and equitability. The CSA 2010 OM, shown below, features continuous monitoring and tracking of entities‘ safety performance. Entities may be either carriers or drivers. All entities found with problematic safety behavior will be subject to the intervention process.

The Safety Measurement System
Within the CSA 2010 OM, the Safety Measurement System (SMS) quantifies the on-road safety performance of individual entities to: Identify entities for interventions. The SMS will be a key component in determining the inclusion of entities with significant safety problems into the CSA 2010 intervention process. Determine the specific safety problems an entity exhibits. The SMS allows enforcement officers to identify the specific safety problems the system highlights and to surgically address them through a tailored set of interventions. Monitor safety problems throughout the intervention process. The SMS will continuously monitor on-road performance to assess whether an entity‘s safety performance has improved enough for it to exit the intervention process, or if further intervention is warranted. Support FMCSA‘s Safety Fitness Determination (SFD). The SMS results will be an important factor in determining the safety fitness of entities. The SMS will identify the entities demonstrating the worst safety performance so they can be considered for an ―Unfit‖ safety determination.
In addition to supporting the CSA 2010 OM, the SMS results can provide other stakeholders with valuable safety information. The SMS results will be easily accessible via the Internet to encourage improvements in motor carrier safety. Findings from the SMS will allow the evaluated entities an assessment of their weaknesses in various safety areas. Thus, the SMS will empower carriers and other firms (e.g. shippers, insurers) involved with the motor carrier industry to make safety-based business decisions.

2. Design of the SMS
The SMS is a tool for assessing available roadside performance data. These data are used to rank entities‘ performance relative to their peers in any of six Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (BASICs) as well as crash involvement (Crash Indicator). Law enforcement will use rankings within these BASICs and the Crash Indicator to select entities for appropriate interventions.
2.1 Description of BASICs and Crash Indicator
The CSA 2010 team developed the BASICs under the premise that CMV crashes can be traced to the behavior of motor carriers and/or drivers. The behavior categories are derived based on information from a number of sources: Large Truck Crash Causation Study (LTCCS);2 CSA 2010 Driver History Study; the existing FMCSA regulatory structure; and analysis conducted under FMCSA‘s Compliance Review Workgroup (CRWG), the predecessor to CSA 2010. The BASICs are defined as follows: Unsafe Driving BASIC—Operation of CMVs in a dangerous or careless manner. Example violations: speeding, reckless driving, improper lane change, and inattention. Fatigued Driving (Hours-Of-Service) BASIC—Operation of CMVs by drivers who are ill, fatigued, or in non-compliance with the Hours-Of-Service (HOS) regulations. This BASIC includes violations of regulations surrounding the complete and accurate recording of logbooks as they relate to HOS requirements and the management of CMV driver fatigue. Instances related to the Fatigued Driving (HOS) BASIC are distinguished from incidents where unconsciousness or an inability to react is brought about by the use of alcohol, drugs, or other controlled substances. Example violations: HOS, logbook, and operating a CMV while ill or fatigued. Driver Fitness BASIC—Operation of CMVs by drivers who are unfit to operate a CMV due to lack of training, experience, or medical qualifications. Example violations: failing to have a valid and appropriate commercial driver's license and being medically unqualified to operate a CMV. Controlled Substances/Alcohol BASIC—Operation of CMVs by drivers who are impaired due to alcohol, illegal drugs, and misuse of prescription or over-the-counter medications. Example violations: use or possession of controlled substances or alcohol. Vehicle Maintenance BASIC—Failure to properly maintain a CMV. Example violations: brakes, lights, and other mechanical defects, and failure to make required repairs.

March 2010 2-2
Cargo-Related BASIC—Failure to properly prevent shifting loads, spilled or dropped cargo, and unsafe handling of hazardous materials on a CMV. Example violations: improper load securement, cargo retention, and hazardous material handling.
Additionally, the SMS evaluates an entity‘s crash history relative to its peers. Crash history is not specifically a behavior. Rather, it is a consequence of a behavior and may indicate a problem with the entity that warrants intervention. The Crash Indicator is defined as follows: Crash Indicator—Histories or patterns of high crash involvement, including frequency and severity. It is based on information from state-reported crash reports.
The SMS will initially focus on the two types of entities most likely to impact the BASICs and Crash Indicator: motor carriers and CMV drivers. Therefore, two measurement systems are being designed for CSA 2010: Carrier Safety Measurement System (CSMS) Driver Safety Measurement Systems (DSMS)
2.2 Data Sources
Both CSMS and DSMS assess an individual entity‘s performance by BASIC and Crash Indicators calculated from information collected during on-road safety inspections and state-reported CMV crash records. These data are recorded in the Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS). In addition, motor carrier Census data, also recorded in MCMIS, are used for the identification and normalization of safety-event data. Below are more detailed descriptions of each data source: Roadside Inspections are examinations a Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP) inspector conducts on individual CMVs and drivers to determine if they are in compliance with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) and/or Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMRs). Inspection data are taken from MCMIS. Violations are recorded during inspections and are entered into the MCMIS database. A subset of these violations results in driver or vehicle Out-of-Service (OOS) orders. These OOS violations must be corrected before the affected driver or vehicle is allowed to return to service.3
Note: Some roadside inspections are performed following a traffic enforcement stop for a moving violation. Violations reported during such stops do not always result in the issuance of a citation to the driver, but are used in the SMS whether or not a citation is issued.
3 Only pre-existing violations from post-crash inspections are used in the SMS. Violations recorded in MCMIS as being attributed to the crash are not used. FMC-CSA-09-005
March 2010 2-3
State-Reported Commercial Vehicle Crash Data are taken from MCMIS and provide information on crashes as reported by state and local police officials. The reporting of these crashes follows National Governors Association (NGA) standards. Motor Carrier Census Data are first collected when a carrier obtains a USDOT number. FMCSA records this information in MCMIS and updates it during CRs, during CMV registration in states participating in Performance and Registration Information Systems Management (PRISM) Program, and upon request by the motor carrier. The CSMS uses Census data for identification and normalization of safety-related data. Examples of Census data include number of Power Units (PUs), physical location, current status, and type of cargo.
2.3 Carrier BASICs Rankings in SMS
Four principal steps are used to assess an entity‘s performance in each BASIC and the Crash Indicator. First, relevant inspection, violation, and crash data obtained from MCMIS are attributed to an entity to create a safety event history for the entity. Each entity‘s violations are classified into a BASIC and are then time weighted, severity weighted, and normalized to form a quantifiable measure for an entity in each BASIC. Based on a comparison of each entity‘s BASIC measure to those of its peers, a rank and percentile are assigned. These steps are illustrated in Figure 2-1. The SMS applies similar steps to crash data to calculate carrier Crash Indicator percentiles.
Safety Events by EntityBASIC DataRank/PercentileBASIC Measures
Figure 2-1. BASICs Ranking Process
2.4 SMS Design Features
The conversion of an entity‘s safety data into a BASIC measure, rank, and percentile involves the application of several SMS design features as discussed below.
2.4.1 Violation Severity
All roadside inspection violations that pertain to a BASIC are assigned severity weights that reflect their association with crash occurrence and crash consequences. The severity weights help differentiate the levels of crash risk associated with the various violations attributed to each BASIC. The violation severity weights are assigned on a 1 to 10 scale, where 1 represents the lowest crash risk and 10 represents the highest crash risk relative
FMC-CSA-09-005
March 2010 2-4
to the other violations in the BASIC. Within certain BASICs, additional severity weight is applied to violations that resulted in driver or vehicle OOS orders. The severity weighting is based on analysis that quantified the extent of these associations between violation and crash risk, as well as on input from enforcement subject matter experts. Because the weights reflect the relative importance of each violation within each particular BASIC, they cannot be compared meaningfully across the various BASICs. See Appendix A for more information about the severity weights.
2.4.2 Crash Severity
Crashes are assigned severity weights according to their impact. Greater weight is attributed to crashes involving injuries, fatalities, and/or crashes involving the release of hazardous materials than to crashes only resulting in a vehicle tow-away.
2.4.3 Time Weights
All safety events are assigned a time weight. The time weight of an event decreases with time. This decline results in more recent events having a greater impact on an entity‘s BASIC and Crash Indicator measures than events from the more distant past. Beyond a prescribed cutoff date, discussed in more detail below for driver and carrier measures, older events are assumed irrelevant and no longer used.
2.4.4 Normalization
When appropriate, BASIC and Crash Indicator measures are normalized to reflect differences in exposure among entities. The normalization approach varies depending on what is being measured.
The SMS normalizes for the number of driver inspections with driver-related BASICs, whereas vehicle inspections are used for normalization within vehicle-related BASICs. Therefore, the number of driver inspections normalizes the Fatigued Driving (HOS) and Driver Fitness measures, while the number of vehicle inspections normalizes the Vehicle Maintenance and Cargo-Related measures.
While violations of the above BASICs are discovered during an inspection, a distinction is made for behaviors that may trigger an inspection. For this reason, the CSMS normalizes the Unsafe Driving, Controlled Substances/Alcohol, and Crash Indicator measures by carrier size (i.e., average number of PUs), instead of by number of inspections.
2.4.5 Peer Groups
To further account for the differences among carriers or drivers, the CSMS places carriers in peer groups with similar exposure. This tiered approach accounts for the inherent greater variability in rates based on small samples or limited levels of exposure and the stronger level of confidence in measures based on larger levels of exposure. The peer grouping also allows the CSMS to handle the widely diverse motor carrier population, while ensuring that similarly situated carriers are treated with the same standards.
2.4.6 Data Sufficiency
The SMS employs data sufficiency standards to ensure that there are enough inspections or crashes to produce meaningful measures of safety. In instances where the safety FMC-CSA-09-005
March 2010 2-5
performance of an entity can potentially lead to incursion of CSA 2010 interventions or detrimental SFD outcome, additional data sufficiency tests are employed. These tests ensure a ―critical mass‖ of poor performance data or a pattern of violations before adverse action is taken upon an entity.
2.4.7 Percentile Rank
The SMS uses the measures to assign a percentile ranking for all entities within each BASIC and the Crash Indicator. Each measure is a quantifiable determination of safety behavior. Percentile ranking allows the safety behavior of an entity to be compared with the safety behavior of its peers. Within each peer group, a percentile is computed on a 0 –100 scale for each entity that receives a non-zero measure, with 100 indicating the worst performance.
Entities with percentiles above a certain threshold and meeting minimum data sufficiency requirements in a BASIC or Crash Indicator can be deemed poor safety performers. These entities will be identified for CSA 2010‘s Intervention process.
2.5 Differences Between SafeStat and the SMS
The SMS offers several improvements over FMCSA‘s existing carrier measurement system, SafeStat. Some of the key differences are listed below.
The SMS is organized by specific behaviors whereas SafeStat is organized into four general Safety Evaluations Areas (SEAs).
SafeStat assesses carriers in four Safety Evaluation Areas (SEAs)—Accident, Driver, Vehicle, and Safety Management—whereas the SMS measures each entity in six behavioral categories (i.e., the BASICs) and the Crash Indicator. The specific behavioral metrics in the SMS provide a more detailed level of measurement that can be used to describe, evaluate, and address entity safety. For example, SafeStat indicates that an entity has general driver issues according to its Driver SEA value, while the SMS provides information on the specific driver behavior (i.e., Drug/Alcohol, Fatigued Driving (HOS), Unsafe Driving, and Driver Fitness) that needs modification and/or attention. The more specific organization of the SMS‘s BASICs often allows the discovery of serious safety problems that go undetected under SafeStat‘s more generalized SEA structure. This is particularly important for BASICs related to driver behavior given that recent research (e.g. the LTCCS) has highlighted driver behavior as increasingly relevant to crash occurrence.
The SMS identifies specific safety problems so that CSA 2010 interventions can address them in a surgical manner; the SafeStat score is based on grouping safety problems together to identify carriers for a one-size-fits-all CR.
Through the measurement of an entity‘s safety performance by behavior, and the targeting of an intervention to the entity‘s specific behavior, the CSA 2010 OM provides an integrated approach to measuring and improving CMV safety. The alignment of both the SMS and intervention selection through BASICs and the Crash Indicator allows FMCSA to identify both the entity for intervention as well as the specific safety problem
FMC-CSA-09-005

that should be surgically addressed. This approach will lead to more efficient and effective use of enforcement resources directed towards improving motor carrier safety.
The SMS uses all safety-based inspection violations while SafeStat uses only OOS violations and selected moving violations from inspections.
The inclusion of all safety-based inspection violations in the SMS fully leverages the results of the roadside inspection program (3.3 million inspections annually) and provides a more comprehensive evaluation of an entity‘s on-road safety performance.
The SMS utilizes risk-based violation weightings while SafeStat does not.
Although the SMS utilizes all safety-based inspection violations in the SMS, it is recognized that not all violations pose the same crash risk. Therefore, violations in the SMS are weighted, to the extent possible, according to the probability that the violation may cause, contribute to, or exacerbate the outcome of CMV crash. Violations shown to have a larger impact on crash risk will have a stronger detrimental impact on an entity‘s BASIC measure. The risk-based weighting of violations will provide a risk-based assessment of an entity‘s performance in each BASIC.
The SMS feeds the Safety Fitness Determination (SFD) of an entity while SafeStat has no impact on an entity’s safety rating.
Currently SafeStat prioritizes carriers for CRs. Based strictly on the results of the CR, FMCSA provides a SFD in the form of a safety rating to a carrier. Under CSA 2010, FMCSA will consider the results of the SMS along with the results of interventions in generating a carrier‘s SFD. With this approach, all violations can be considered when determining safety fitness, not just the more severe ones from CRs as is now done with SFD. CSMS results can impact the SFD in two ways. First, poor CSMS results can trigger further examination through the CSA 2010 Intervention Process. Major violations found during the Intervention Process can adversely impact a carrier‘s SFD. Secondly, the SFD can be calculated solely on the basis of on-road performance by comparing a carrier‘s absolute BASIC measures, not relative percentiles, to a pre-set BASIC measurement standard. Adverse SFD can occur when a carrier‘s measures do not meet or exceed the standard. This new SFD procedure places strong emphasis on carrier on-road performance in determining overall carrier safety fitness. This approach addresses one of the National Transportation Safety Board‘s (NTSB) long-standing recommendations that a carrier‘s poor on-road performance alone should have a detrimental impact on its SFD.
The SMS assesses individual drivers and carriers while SafeStat assesses only carriers.
Currently, most of the focus of FMCSA safety programs and enforcement has been on motor carriers. In the future, the DSMS will allow FMCSA to identify unsafe drivers for interventions based on their inspection and crash history across all employers (former and current). Given the often transient nature of driver employment, the DSMS will be a valuable tool for FMCSA to address driver-specific problems that cannot be easily FMC-CSA-09-005
March 2010 2-7
handled at the motor carrier level. The DSMS may eventually be a valuable tool for motor carriers to monitor their own drivers and assess prospective hires. These efforts will encourage safe and compliant behavior among CMV drivers and will enable carriers to consider drivers‘ safety histories when making hiring decisions.

3. CSMS Methodology
The following sections describe the algorithms used in the CSMS methodology and the computational logic used to calculate the measurement and percentile of each BASIC and the Crash Indicator for individual motor carriers. BASICs evaluated in a very similar manner have been grouped together as shown below. Unsafe Driving BASIC and Controlled Substances/Alcohol BASIC Fatigued Driving (HOS) BASIC and Driver Fitness BASIC Vehicle Maintenance BASIC and Cargo-Related BASIC Crash Indicator
3.1 Unsafe Driving BASIC and Controlled Substances/Alcohol BASIC Assessment
This section describes the measurement of the Unsafe Driving BASIC and the Controlled Substances/Alcohol BASIC. The definition of each BASIC is as follows: Unsafe Driving BASIC—Operation of CMVs in a dangerous or careless manner. Example violations: speeding, reckless driving, improper lane change, and inattention. See Appendix A for a complete list of roadside inspection violations used in the SMS. Controlled Substances/Alcohol BASIC—Operation of CMVs by drivers cited in roadside inspections for impairment due to alcohol, illegal drugs, and misuse of prescription or over-the-counter medications. Example violations: use or possession of controlled substances or alcohol. See Appendix A for a complete list of roadside inspection violations used in the SMS.
The CSMS assesses both the Unsafe Driving BASIC and Controlled Substances/Alcohol BASIC by using relevant violations of FMCSRs recorded during roadside inspections and reported in MCMIS. Individual carriers‘ BASIC measures also incorporate carrier size. These measures are used to generate percentile ranks that reflect each carrier‘s driver safety posture relative to its peers.
3.1.1 Calculation of BASIC Measure
The BASIC measures for the Unsafe Driving and Controlled Substances/Alcohol BASICs were calculated as the sum of severity and time weighted applicable violations divided by carrier average PUs, as follows:
PUscarrierofmeasureAverageviolationsapplicableweightedseverityandtimeofTotalMeasureBASIC
Equation 3-1 FMC-CSA-09-005
March 2010 3-2
In this equation, the terms are defined as follows:
Applicable Violation is defined as any violation recorded in any level roadside inspection that matches the FMCSR and HMR cites listed for Unsafe Driving (Table 1, Appendix A) and Controlled Substances/Alcohol (Table 2, Appendix A) during the past 24 months. In cases of multiple counts of the same violation, the CSMS only uses each violation cite once per inspection.
Note: Some roadside inspections are performed following a traffic enforcement stop for a moving violation. Violations reported during such stops do not always result in the issuance of a citation to the driver, but are used in the SMS whether or not a citation is issued.
A Severity Weight from 1 (less severe) to 10 (most severe) is assigned to each applicable violation. See the Unsafe Driving Table (Table 1, Appendix A) and the Controlled Substance and Alcohol Table (Table 2, Appendix A) for the severity weights corresponding to each violation. The severity weighting of each violation cite accounts for the level of crash risk relative to the other violation cites used in the BASIC measurement. The sum of all severity weights yielded by any one inspection for violations in any one BASIC is capped at a maximum of 30.
A Time Weight of 1, 2 or 3 is assigned to each applicable violation based on how long ago it was recorded. Violations recorded in the past 6 months receive a time weight of 3. Violations recorded between 6 and 12 months ago receive a time weight of 2. All violations recorded earlier (older than 12 months but within the past 24 months) receive a time weight of 1. This time weighting places more emphasis on recent violations relative to older violations.
Time and Severity Weighted Violation is a violation‘s severity weight multiplied by its time weight.
Average Power Units (PUs) is used to account for each carrier‘s level of exposure when calculating the BASIC measure. The BASIC violations are normalized by the number of owned, term-leased, and trip-leased PUs (trucks, tractors, hazardous-material tank trucks, motor coaches, and school buses) contained in the Census data. The primary sources of PU information in the Census are Forms MCS-150 and MCS-151. Carriers are required to update their MCS-150 information biennially. The average PUs for each carrier is calculated using (i) the carrier‘s current number of PUs, (ii) the number of PUs the carrier had in the middle of the first time period (i.e. 18 months ago), and (iii) the number of PUs the carrier had in the middle of the second time period (i.e. 6 months ago). The average PU calculation is shown below:

3.1.2 Calculation of BASIC Percentile Rank
Based on the BASIC measures, the CSMS applies data sufficiency standards and peer grouping to assign a percentile rank to carriers that can then potentially receive a CSA 2010 intervention or detrimental SFD. The calculation is as follows:
A. Determine the total number of inspections with at least one BASIC violation. For the Unsafe Driving BASIC, remove carriers with less than three such inspections. For the Controlled Substances/Alcohol BASIC, remove carriers with no violations in this BASIC. For the remaining carriers, place each carrier into one of five groups based on its average PU size:
Peer Group Category Average Number of Power Units (PUs)
1
0 < PU <= 5
2
5 < PU <= 15
3
15 < PU <= 50
4
50 < PU <= 500
5
500 < PU
Table 3-1. Peer Group Categories for Unsafe Driving and Controlled Substances/Alcohol BASICs
B. Within each group, rank all the carriers‘ BASIC measures in ascending order. Transform the ranked values into percentiles from 0 (representing the lowest BASIC measure) to 100 (representing the highest BASIC measure). Eliminate carriers whose violations in the BASIC are all older than twelve months. Then, assign the percentile values to the remaining carriers.
3.2 Fatigued Driving (HOS) BASIC and Driver Fitness BASIC Assessment
This section describes the measurement of the Fatigued Driving (HOS) BASIC and the Driver Fitness BASIC. The definition of each BASIC is as follows: Fatigued Driving (HOS) BASIC—Operation of CMVs by drivers ill, fatigued, or in non-compliance with the Hours-Of-Service (HOS) regulations. This BASIC includes violations of regulations surrounding the complete and accurate recording of logbooks as they relate to HOS requirements and the management of CMV driver fatigue. Instances related to the Fatigued Driving (HOS) BASIC are distinguished from incidents where unconsciousness or an inability to react is brought about by the use of alcohol, drugs, or other controlled substances. Example violations include: HOS, logbook, and operating a CMV while ill or fatigued. See Appendix A for a complete list of roadside inspection violations used in the SMS. FMC-CSA-09-005
March 2010 3-4
Driver Fitness BASIC—Operation of CMVs by drivers who are unfit to operate a CMV due to lack of training, experience, or medical qualifications. Example violations: failing to have a valid and appropriate commercial driver's license and being medically unqualified to operate a CMV. See Appendix A for a complete list of roadside inspection violations used in the SMS.
The CSMS assesses both the Fatigued Driving (HOS) BASIC and Driver Fitness BASIC using relevant violations recorded during roadside inspections to calculate a measure of each BASIC for individual motor carriers. These measures are used to generate percentile ranks that reflect each carrier‘s driver safety posture relative to its peers.
3.2.1 Calculation of BASIC Measure
The equation used for calculating the BASIC measure for Fatigued Driving (HOS) and Driver Fitness is as follows:
sinspectionrelevantweightedtimeofNumberviolationsapplicableweightedseverityandtimeofTotalMeasureBASIC
Equation 3-3
In this equation, the terms are defined as follows:
Applicable Violation is any violation recorded in any level roadside inspection that matches the FMCSRs and HMRs listed for Fatigued Driving (Table 3, Appendix A) and Driver Fitness (Table 4, Appendix A) during the past 24 months. The CSMS only uses each violation cite once per inspection in cases of multiple counts of the same violation.
A Relevant Inspection is any Driver Inspection (Level 1, 2, 3 or 6), including those that do not result in a violation in the BASIC, or any other inspection resulting in applicable BASIC violation.
A Severity Weight is assigned to each applicable violation, with a value dependent on two parts: (i) the level of crash risk relative to the other violations comprising the BASIC measurement, and (ii) whether or not the violation resulted in an OOS condition. The level of crash risk is assigned to each applicable violation ranging from 1 (less severe) to 10 (most severe); see the Fatigued Driving (HOS) Table (Table 3, Appendix A) and the Driver Fitness Table (Table 4, Appendix A) for the violations‘ corresponding severity weights. An OOS weight of 2 is then added to the severity weight of OOS violations. In cases of multiple counts of the same violation, the OOS weight of 2 applies if any of the counts of the violation are OOS. The sum of all severity weights yielded by any one inspection for violations in any one BASIC is capped at a maximum of 30.
A Time Weight of 1, 2 or 3 is assigned to each applicable violation and each relevant inspection based on its age. Violations recorded in the past 6 months
FMC-CSA-09-005
March 2010 3-5
receive a time weight of 3. Violations recorded between 6 and 12 months ago receive a time weight of 2. All violations recorded earlier (older than 12 months but within the past 24 months) receive a time weight of 1. Using the exact same time weight scheme, time weights are assigned to each relevant inspection, regardless of whether or not an inspection yielded an applicable violation. This time weighting places more emphasis on results of recent inspections relative to older inspections.
Time and Severity Weighted Violation is a violation‘s severity weight multiplied by its time weight.
3.2.2 Calculation of BASIC Percentile Rank
Based on the BASIC measures, the CSMS applies data sufficiency standards and peer grouping to assign a percentile rank to carriers that can then potentially receive a CSA 2010 intervention or detrimental SFD. The calculation is as follows:
A. Determine the total number of relevant inspections and number of inspections with at least one BASIC violation. For the Fatigued Driving (HOS) BASIC, remove carriers with (1) less than three relevant driver inspections or (2) no inspections resulting in at least one BASIC violation. For the Driver Fitness BASIC, remove carriers with (1) less than five relevant driver inspections or (2) no inspections resulting in at least one BASIC violation. For the remaining carriers, place each carrier into one of five groups based on the number of relevant inspections:
Peer Group Category Number of Relevant Inspections
1
3-10 (Fatigue); 5-10 (Fitness)
2
11-20

B. Within each group, rank all the carriers‘ BASIC measures in ascending order. Transform the ranked values into percentiles from 0 (representing the lowest BASIC measure) to 100 (representing the highest BASIC measure). Eliminate carriers that meet the following criteria: (i) no violation was recorded in the BASIC during the previous twelve months, and (ii) no violation in the BASIC was recorded during the latest relevant inspection. For remaining carriers with three or more relevant inspections resulting in a
FMC-CSA-09-005
March 2010 3-6
Fatigued Driving (HOS) BASIC violation, assign the percentile values to each carrier. For the remaining carriers with five or more relevant inspections resulting in a Driver Fitness violation, assign the percentile values to each carrier.
3.3 Vehicle Maintenance BASIC and Cargo-Related BASIC Assessment
This section describes the measurement of the Vehicle Maintenance BASIC and the Cargo-Related BASIC. The definition of each BASIC is as follows: Vehicle Maintenance BASIC— Failure to properly maintain a CMV. Example violations: brakes, lights, and other mechanical defects, and failure to make required repairs. See Appendix A for a complete list of roadside inspection violations used in the SMS. Cargo-Related BASIC— Failure to properly prevent shifting loads, spilled or dropped cargo, and unsafe handling of hazardous materials on a CMV. Example violations: improper load securement, cargo retention, and hazardous material handling. See Appendix A for a complete list of roadside inspection violations used in the SMS.
The CSMS assesses both the Vehicle Maintenance BASIC and the Cargo-Related BASIC using relevant violations recorded during roadside inspections to calculate a measure of each BASIC for individual motor carriers. These measures are used to generate percentile ranks that reflect each carrier‘s safety posture relative to its peers.
3.3.1 Calculation of BASIC Measure
The equation used for calculating the BASIC measure for Vehicle Maintenance as well as Cargo-Related is as follows:
sinspectionrelevantweightedtimeofNumberviolationsapplicableweightedseverityandtimeofTotalMeasureBASIC
Equation 3-4
In this equation, the terms are defined as follows:
Applicable Violation is defined as any violation recorded in any level roadside inspection that matches the FMCSR and HMR cites listed for Vehicle Maintenance (Table 5, Appendix A) and Cargo-Related (Table 6, Appendix A) during the past 24 months. In cases of multiple counts of the same violation, the CSMS only uses each violation cite once per inspection.
FMC-CSA-09-005
March 2010 3-7
A Relevant Inspection is any Vehicle Inspection (Level 1, 2, 5 or 6), including those that do not result in a violation in the BASIC, or any other inspection resulting in applicable BASIC violation.
A Severity Weight is assigned to each applicable violation with a value dependent on two parts: (i) the level of crash risk relative to the other violation cites used in the BASIC measurement, and (ii) whether or not the violation resulted in an OOS condition. The level of crash risk is assigned to each applicable violation ranging from 1 (less severe) to 10 (most severe); see the Vehicle Maintenance Table (Table 5, Appendix A) and the Cargo-Related (Table 6, Appendix A) for the corresponding severity weights of each violation cite. An OOS weight of 2 is then added to the severity weight of OOS violations. In cases of multiple counts of the same violation, the OOS weight of 2 applies if any of the counts of the violation are OOS. The sum of all severity weights yielded by any one inspection for violations in any one BASIC is capped at a maximum of 30.
A Time Weight of 1, 2 or 3 is assigned to each applicable violation and each relevant inspection based on its age. Violations recorded in the past 6 months receive a time weight of 3. Violations recorded between 6 and 12 months ago receive a time weight of 2. All violations recorded earlier (older than 12 months but within the past 24 months) receive a time weight of 1. Using the exact same time weight scheme, time weights are assigned to each relevant inspection, regardless of whether or not an inspection yielded an applicable violation. This time weighting places more emphasis on results of recent inspections relative to older inspections.
Time and Severity Weighted Violation is a violation‘s severity weight multiplied by its time weight.
3.3.2 Calculation of BASIC Percentile Rank
Based on the BASIC measures, the CSMS applies data sufficiency standards and peer grouping to assign a percentile rank to carriers that can then potentially receive a CSA 2010 intervention or detrimental SFD. The calculation is as follows:
A. Determine the total number of relevant vehicle inspections and the number of inspections with at least one BASIC violation. Remove carriers with (1) less than five relevant inspections or (2) no inspections resulting in at least one BASIC violation. For the remaining carriers, place each carrier into one of five groups based on the number of relevant inspections:

Transform the ranked values into percentiles from 0 (representing the lowest BASIC measure) to 100 (representing the highest BASIC measure). Eliminate carriers that meet the following criteria: (i) no violation was recorded in the BASIC during the previous twelve months, and (ii) no violation in the BASIC was recorded during the latest relevant inspection. For the remaining carriers with five or more relevant inspections resulting in a BASIC violation, assign the percentiles to each carrier.
3.4 Crash Indicator Assessment
This section describes the measurement of the Crash Indicator. The definition of the Crash Indicator is as follows: Crash Indicator—Histories or patterns of high crash involvement, including frequency and severity, based on information from state-reported crash reports.
Although the BASICs are used to measure an entity‘s behaviors, the crash history utilized by the Crash Indicator is not specifically a behavior; instead, it is the consequence of behavior and may indicate a problem with the entity that warrants intervention.
The CSMS assesses the Crash Indicator using relevant state-reported crash data and the size of the carrier to evaluate an entity‘s crash history relative to its peers and to calculate a measure of the indicator for individual motor carriers. This measure is used to generate percentile ranks that reflect each carrier‘s crash posture relative to its peers. FMC-CSA-09-005
March 2010 3-9
3.4.1 Calculation of Crash Indicator Measure
The equation used for calculating the Crash Indicator measure is as follows:
unitspowercarrierofmeasureAveragecrashesapplicableweightedseverityandtimeofTotalMeasureIndicatorCrash
Equation 3-5
In this equation, the terms are defined as follows:
Applicable Crash is a state-reported crash that meets the reportable crash standard during the past 24 months. A reportable crash is one that results in at least one fatality; one injury where the injured person is taken to a medical facility for immediate medical attention; or, one vehicle having been towed from the scene (i.e. tow-away) as a result of disabling damage caused by the crash.
Crash Severity Weight places more weight on crashes with more severe consequences. For example, a crash involving an injury or fatality is weighted more heavily than a crash where only a tow-away occurred. A hazmat release also increases the weighting of a crash, as shown in Table 3-4.
Crash Type Crash Severity Weight
Involves tow-away but no injury or fatality
1
Involves injury or fatality
2
Involves a hazmat release
Crash Severity Weight (from above) + 1
Table 3-4. Crash Severity Weights for Crash Indicator
A Time Weight of 1, 2 or 3 is assigned to each applicable crash based on the time elapsed since it occurred. Crashes that occurred in the past 6 months receive a time weight of 3. Crashes that occurred between 6 and 12 months prior to the measurement date receive a time weight of 2. All crashes that happened later (older than 12 months but within the past 24 months) receive a time weight of 1. This time weighting places more emphasis on recent crashes relative to older crashes.
Time and Severity Weighted Crash is a crash‘s severity weight multiplied by its time weight.
Average Power Units (PUs) is used to account for a carrier‘s level of exposure when calculating the Crash Indicator measure. The number of CMVs involved in

applicable crashes is normalized by the number of owned, term-leased, and trip-leased PUs (trucks, tractors, hazardous-material tank trucks, motor coaches, and school buses) contained in the Census data. The primary sources of PU information in the Census are Forms MCS-150 and MCS-151. Carriers are required to update their MCS-150 information biennially. Carrier average PUs are calculated by using the current number of PUs and the number of PUs a carrier had in the middle of each of the two time periods:

4. DSMS Methodology
The DSMS is the second major component of the SMS, along with the CSMS. Law enforcement officials use the DSMS results to examine the safety performance of individual CMV drivers when conducting CSA 2010 investigations. Currently, the DSMS results are being used strictly as an investigative tool for law enforcement and are not available to carriers, drivers, or the public. However, the raw safety information from roadside inspections and crashes that feeds the DSMS is compiled by the same system that will provide CMV driver-based data to FMCSA‘s Driver Pre-Employment Screening Program (PSP). This new program will allow motor carriers to access driver inspection and crash records electronically as a part of the hiring process.4
This section describes the algorithms used in the DSMS methodology and the computational logic used to calculate the driver measures and percentiles for each BASIC and the Crash Indicator for individual CMV drivers. BASICs that are evaluated similarly are described together. Unsafe Driving BASIC and Controlled Substances/Alcohol BASIC Fatigued Driving (HOS) BASIC and Driver Fitness BASIC Vehicle Maintenance BASIC and Cargo-Related BASIC Crash Indicator
4.1 Unsafe Driving BASIC and Controlled Substances/Alcohol BASIC Assessment
This section describes the measurement of the Unsafe Driving BASIC and the Controlled Substances/Alcohol BASIC. The definition of each BASIC is as follows: Unsafe Driving BASIC—Operation of CMVs in a dangerous or careless manner. Example violations: speeding, reckless driving, improper lane change, and inattention. Controlled Substances/Alcohol BASIC—Operation of CMVs by drivers who are impaired due to alcohol, illegal drugs, and misuse of prescription or over-the-counter medications. Example violations: use or possession of controlled substances or alcohol.
The DSMS assesses both the Unsafe Driving BASIC and Controlled Substances/Alcohol BASIC by using applicable violations recorded during roadside inspections to calculate a measure in each BASIC for individual drivers. These measures are used to generate percentile ranks that reflect drivers‘ safety postures relative to their peers.

March 2010 4-2
4.1.1 Calculation of BASIC Measure
The BASIC measures for the Unsafe Driving and Controlled Substances/Alcohol BASICs are calculated as the sum of severity and time weighted applicable violations as follows:
violationsapplicableweightedseverityandtimeofTotalMeasureBASIC
Equation 4-1
In this equation, the terms are defined as follows:
Applicable Violation is defined as any violation recorded in any level roadside inspection that matches the FMCSR and HMR cites listed for Unsafe Driving (Table 1, Appendix A) and Controlled Substances/Alcohol (Table 2, Appendix A) during the past 36 months, and for which the CMV driver can be held responsible (‗Driver Responsible‘ column, Table 1 and 2). In cases of multiple counts of the same violation, the DSMS only uses each violation cite once per inspection.
A Severity Weight from 1 (less severe) to 10 (most severe) is assigned to each applicable violation. See the Unsafe Driving Table (Table 1, Appendix A) and the Controlled Substance and Alcohol Table (Table 2, Appendix A) for the corresponding severity weights of each violation cite. The severity weighting of each violation cite accounts for the level of crash risk relative to the other violation cites used in the BASIC measurement. The sum of all severity weights yielded by any one inspection for violations in any one BASIC is capped at a maximum of 30.
A Time Weight of 1, 2 or 3 is assigned to each applicable violation based on how long ago a violation on the inspection was recorded. Violations recorded in the past 12 months receive a time weight of 3. Violations recorded between 12 and 24 months ago receive a time weight of 2. All violations recorded earlier (older than 24 months but within the past 36 months) receive a time weight of 1. This time weighting places more emphasis on recent violations relative to older violations.
Time and Severity Weighted Violation is a violation‘s severity weight multiplied by its time weight.
4.1.2 Calculation of BASIC Percentile Rank
Based on the BASIC measures, the DSMS applies data sufficiency standards to assign a percentile rank to drivers who can then potentially be subjected to a CSA 2010 intervention. The calculation is as follows:
FMC-CSA-09-005
March 2010 4-3
A. Determine the total number of inspections with at least one BASIC violation. Remove drivers with no BASIC violations.
B. Rank all the drivers‘ BASIC measures in ascending order. Transform the ranked values into percentiles from 0 (representing the lowest BASIC measure) to 100 (representing the highest BASIC measure). Then, assign the percentile values for that BASIC to each driver.
4.2 Fatigued Driving (HOS) BASIC and Driver Fitness BASIC Assessment
This section describes the measurement of the Fatigued Driving (HOS) BASIC and the Driver Fitness BASIC. The definition of each BASIC is as follows: Fatigued Driving (HOS) BASIC—Operation of CMVs by drivers who are ill, fatigued, or in non-compliance with the Hours-Of-Service (HOS) regulations. This BASIC includes violations of regulations surrounding the complete and accurate recording of logbooks as they relate to HOS requirements and the management of CMV driver fatigue. Instances related to the Fatigued Driving (HOS) BASIC are distinguished from incidents where unconsciousness or an inability to react is brought about by the use of alcohol, drugs, or other controlled substances. Example violations include: HOS, logbook, and operating a CMV while ill or fatigued. Driver Fitness BASIC—Operation of CMVs by drivers who are unfit to operate a CMV due to lack of training, experience, or medical qualifications. Example violations: failure to have a valid and appropriate commercial driver's license and being medically unqualified to operate a CMV.
The DSMS assesses both the Fatigued Driving (HOS) BASIC and Driver Fitness BASIC using relevant violations recorded during roadside inspections to calculate a measure in each BASIC for individual drivers. These measures are used to generate percentile ranks that reflect drivers‘ safety postures relative to their peers.
4.2.1 Calculation of BASIC Measure
The equation used for calculating the BASIC measure for Fatigued Driving (HOS) and Driver Fitness is as follows:
sinspectionrelevantweightedtimeofNumberviolationsapplicableweightedseverityandtimeofTotalMeasureBASIC
Equation 4-2
In this equation, the terms are defined as follows:
Applicable Violation is defined as any violation recorded in any level roadside inspection that matches the FMCSR and HMR cites listed for Fatigued Driving FMC-CSA-09-005
March 2010 4-4
(Table 3, Appendix A) and Driver Fitness (Table 4, Appendix A) during the past 36 months, and for which the CMV driver can be held responsible (‗Driver Responsible‘ column, Table 3 and 4). In cases of multiple counts of the same violation, the DSMS only uses each violation cite once per inspection.
A Relevant Inspection is any Driver Inspection (Level 1, 2, 3 or 6), including those that do not result in a violation in the BASIC, or any other inspection resulting in applicable BASIC violation.
A Severity Weight is assigned to each applicable violation, with a value dependent on two parts: (i) the level of crash risk relative to the other violation cites used in the BASIC measurement, and (ii) whether or not the violation resulted in an OOS condition. The level of crash risk is assigned to each applicable violation ranging from 1 (less severe) to 10 (most severe); see the Fatigued Driving (HOS) Table (Table 3, Appendix A) and the Driver Fitness Table (Table 4, Appendix A) for the corresponding severity weights of each violation cite. An OOS weight of 2 is then added to the severity weight of OOS violations. In cases of multiple counts of the same violation, if any of the counts of the violation are OOS the OOS weight of 2 applies. The sum of all severity weights yielded by any one inspection for violations in any one BASIC is capped at a maximum of 30.
A Time Weight of 1, 2 or 3 is assigned to each applicable violation and each relevant inspection based on its age. Violations recorded in the past 12 months receive a time weight of 3. Violations recorded between 12 and 24 months ago receive a time weight of 2. All violations recorded earlier (older than 24 months but within the past 36 months) receive a time weight of 1. Using the exact same time weight scheme, time weights are assigned to each relevant inspection, regardless of whether or not an inspection yielded an applicable violation. This time weighting places more emphasis on results of recent inspections relative to older inspections.
Time and Severity Weighted Violation is a violation‘s severity weight multiplied by its time weight.
4.2.2 Calculation of BASIC Percentile Rank
Based on the BASIC measures, the DSMS applies data sufficiency standards to assign a percentile rank to drivers that can then potentially be subjected to a CSA 2010 intervention. The calculation is as follows:
A. Determine the total number of relevant inspections and number of inspections with at least one BASIC violation. Remove drivers with (1) less than three relevant inspections or (2) no inspections resulting in at least one BASIC violation. For the remaining drivers, place each driver into one of three groups based on the number of relevant inspections: FMC-CSA-09-005

B. Within each group, rank all the drivers‘ BASIC measures in ascending order. Transform the ranked values into percentiles from 0 (representing the lowest BASIC measure) to 100 (representing the highest BASIC measure).
4.3 Vehicle Maintenance BASIC and Cargo-Related BASIC Assessment
This section describes the measurement of the Vehicle Maintenance BASIC and the Cargo-Related BASIC. The definition of each BASIC is as follows: Vehicle Maintenance BASIC— Failure to properly maintain a CMV. Example violations: brakes, lights, and other mechanical defects, and failure to make required repairs that would be found in a pre-trip inspection. Cargo-Related BASIC— Failure to properly prevent shifting loads, spilled or dropped cargo, and unsafe handling of hazardous materials on a CMV. Example violations: improper load securement, cargo retention, and hazardous material handling.
The DSMS assesses both the Vehicle Maintenance BASIC and the Cargo-Related BASIC using relevant violations recorded during roadside inspections to calculate a measure in each BASIC for individual drivers. These measures are used to generate percentile ranks that reflect drivers‘ safety postures relative to their peers.
4.3.1 Calculation of BASIC Measure
The equation used for calculating the Vehicle Maintenance and Cargo-Related BASIC measures is as follows:
sinspectionrelevantweightedtimeofNumberviolationsapplicableweightedseverityandtimeofTotalMeasureBASIC
Equation 4-3 FMC-CSA-09-005
March 2010 4-6
In this equation, the terms are defined as follows:
Applicable Violation is as any violation recorded in any level roadside inspection that matches the FMCSR and HMR cites listed for Vehicle Maintenance (Table 5, Appendix A) and Cargo-Related (Table 6, Appendix A) BASICS during the past 36 months, and for which the CMV driver can be held responsible (‗Driver Responsible‘ column, Table 5 and 6). In cases of multiple counts of the same violation, the DSMS only uses each violation cite once per inspection.
A Relevant Inspection is any Vehicle Inspection (Level 1, 2 or 6), including those that do not result in a violation in the BASIC, or any other inspection resulting in applicable BASIC violation.
A Severity Weight is assigned to each applicable violation with a value dependent on two parts: (i) the level of crash risk relative to the other violation cites used in the BASIC measurement, and (ii) whether or not the violation resulted in an OOS condition. The level of crash risk is assigned to each applicable violation ranging from 1 (less severe) to 10 (most severe); see the Vehicle Maintenance Table (Table 5, Appendix A) and the Cargo-Related (Table 6, Appendix A) BASICS for the corresponding severity weights of each violation cite. An OOS weight of 2 is then added to the severity weight of OOS violations. In cases of multiple counts of the same violation, if any of the counts of the violation are OOS the OOS weight of 2 applies. The sum of all severity weights yielded by any one inspection for violations in any one BASIC is capped at a maximum of 30.
A Time Weight of 1, 2 or 3 is assigned to each applicable violation and each relevant inspection based on its age. Violations recorded in the past 12 months receive a time weight of 3. Violations recorded between 12 and 24 months ago receive a time weight of 2. All violations recorded earlier (older than 24 months but within the past 36 months) receive a time weight of 1. Using the exact same time weight scheme, time weights are assigned to each relevant inspection, regardless of whether or not an inspection yielded an applicable violation. This time weighting places more emphasis on results of recent inspections relative to older inspections.
Time and Severity Weighted Violation is a violation‘s severity weight multiplied by its time weight.
4.3.2 Calculation of BASIC Percentile Rank
Based on the BASIC measures, the DSMS applies data sufficiency standards to assign a percentile rank to drivers that can then potentially be subjected to a CSA 2010 intervention. The calculation is as follows:
FMC-CSA-09-005

A. Determine the total number of relevant vehicle inspections and the number of inspections with at least one BASIC violation. Remove drivers with (1) less than three relevant inspections or (2) no inspections resulting in at least one BASIC violation. For the remaining drivers, place each driver into one of three groups based on the number of relevant inspections:

B. Within each group, rank all the drivers‘ BASIC measures in ascending order. Transform the ranked values into percentiles from 0 (representing the lowest BASIC measure) to 100 (representing the highest BASIC measure).
4.4 Crash Indicator Assessment
This section describes the measurement of the Crash Indicator. The definition of the Crash Indicator is as follows: Crash Indicator—Histories or patterns of high crash involvement, including frequency and severity, based on information from state-reported crash reports.
Although the BASICs are used to measure an entity‘s behaviors, the crash history utilized by the Crash Indicator is not specifically a behavior; rather, it is the consequence of behavior and may indicate a problem with the entity that warrants intervention.
The DSMS assesses the Crash Indicator using relevant state-reported crash data to calculate a measure of the indicator for individual drivers. This measure is used to generate percentile ranks that reflect drivers‘ crash postures relative to their peers.
4.4.1 Calculation of Crash Indicator Measure
The equation used for calculating the Crash Indicator measure is as follows:
crashesapplicableweightedseverityandtimeofTotalMeasureIndicatorCrash
Equation 4-4 FMC-CSA-09-005
March 2010 4-8
In this equation, the terms are defined as follows:
Applicable Crash is based on crash reports provided by the states for each crash that meets the reportable crash standard during the past 36 months. A reportable crash is one that results in at least one fatality; one injury where the person injured is taken to a medical facility for immediate medical attention; or one vehicle having been towed from the scene (i.e. tow-away) as a result of disabling damage caused by the crash.
Crash Severity Weight places more weight on crashes with more severe consequences. For example, a crash involving an injury or fatality is weighted more heavily than a crash where only a tow-away occurred. A hazmat release also increases the weighting of a crash, as shown in Table 4-3.
Crash Type Crash Severity Weight
Involves tow-away but no injury or fatality
1
Involves injury or fatality
2
Involves a hazmat release
Crash Severity Weight (from above) + 1
Table 4-3. Crash Severity Weights for Crash Indicator
A Time Weight of 1, 2 or 3 is assigned to each applicable crash based on the time elapsed since it occurred. Crashes that occurred in the past 12 months receive a time weight of 3. Crashes that occurred between 12 and 24 months ago receive a time weight of 2. All crashes that happened later (older than 24 months but within the past 36 months) receive a time weight of 1. This time weighting places more emphasis on recent crashes relative to older crashes.
Time and Severity Weighted Crash is a crash‘s severity weight multiplied by its time weight.
4.4.2 Calculation of Crash Indicator Percentile Rank
Based on the Crash Indicator measures, the DSMS applies data sufficiency standards and assigns a percentile rank to drivers who then can potentially receive a CSA 2010 intervention. The calculation is as follows:
A. Identify drivers with at least one applicable crash.
B. Rank all the drivers‘ Crash Indicator measures in ascending order. Transform the ranked values into percentiles from 0 (representing the lowest indicator FMC-CSA-09-005
March 2010 4-9
measure) to 100 (representing the highest indicator measure). Then, assign the percentile values to each driver. FMC-CSA-09-005

5. Sample SMS Output
As part of the SMS development process, a web-based interface was developed to display preliminary/prototype results. The website provides a query capability allowing a user to search an entity of interest or identify the worst performing entities in each BASIC and Crash Indicator. Also available is a drill-down capability, which displays all the BASIC and Crash Indicator results of an individual entity and the safety events used in determining the BASIC percentile.
Figure 5-1 is a screenshot of the CSMS carrier measurement summary page for an actual carrier with the identifying fields obscured. This summary page provides carrier identification information (e.g., name, USDOT number), current safety information (e.g., safety rating, SafeStat results, inspection, and crash activity), and SMS BASIC and Crash Indicator information (e.g., measure, rank, and percentile). The BASIC percentiles above the CSA 2010 intervention thresholds are highlighted in yellow to indicate potential problem areas. Percentiles of 97 and higher in the Unsafe Driving, Fatigued Driving (HOS), Driver Fitness, Vehicle Maintenance and Cargo-Related BASICs are highlighted in red.
Note that the carrier in Figure 5-1 is at 99.9% in both the Unsafe Driving BASIC and at 98.6% in the Driver Fitness BASIC. These BASIC percentiles mean that this carrier has demonstrated worse safety performance than 99.9% and 98.6%, respectively, of the other carriers evaluated in these BASICs. Under the current SafeStat/CR process, this carrier, as a Category E carrier, is not a high priority to receive a CR and has not yet received a CR or safety rating. Under the CSA 2010 OM, this carrier will be slated for CSA 2010 interventions and potentially be given a detrimental SFD.
Figure 5-2 is a screenshot of the DSMS driver measurement summary page for an actual driver with the identifying fields obscured. This summary page provides driver identification information, a summary of carriers for which the driver has been operating, current safety activity (inspection and crash activity), and SMS BASIC and Crash Indicator information (e.g., measure, rank and percentile).
The driver in Figure 5-2 provides an example of a safety problem that is not easily addressed by a carrier-based safety program. The driver has operated for five motor carriers in the past three years. FMCSA attention on the carrier in this instance may not be the most effective approach to increasing safety, because the driver may continue the pattern of poor performance while operating for a new carrier. In the same way, carrier termination of the driver‘s employment may not fully address the safety problem because the driver may continue the pattern of poor performance while operating for a new carrier. CSA 2010 will tackle these behavior problems by applying driver-specific interventions to poor safety performers to change this behavior. FMC-CSA-09-005

6. SMS Report – Summary/Next Steps
This report revises Version 1.2 of the SMS methodology, originally released in April 2009. That methodology constituted an update of the previous release, Version 1.1, and incorporated feedback gathered during the CSA 2010 OM Test. This revision provides some additional clarification of SMS features originally documented in April 2009, and incorporates minor modifications to the set of violations in the CSMS and their associated severity weights. However, these modifications do not represent any changes in the methodology approach or in the steps involved in its execution. Most of these revisions are the result of feedback from the CSA 2010 OM Test and stakeholder response to CSA 2010 outreach.
The SMS methodology is part of a continuous improvement process in support of CSA 2010 and the implementation of the new FMCSA OM. Future improvements to the SMS will be based on feedback from stakeholders such as enforcement personnel, industry and the public, as well as on additional findings from the OM Test. In addition, as new data sources become available, these may be incorporated into the SMS methodology. Finally, the SMS will be enhanced periodically as future research reveals new and useful knowledge about crash causation and about the relationship between crash risk and regulatory compliance.

Appendix A
Violation Severity by BASIC
Overview
The tables in this Appendix contain a breakdown of all FMCSRs and HMRs that can lead to roadside violations, with each table representing a unique BASIC. A severity weight is assigned to each regulation and reflects its relevance to crash risk. Within each BASIC, the regulations are grouped based on their attributes so that similar violations can be assigned the same severity weights. Severity weights, discussed in more detail below, are not comparable across the BASICs.
Interpretation of the Severity Weights
The violation severity weights in the tables that follow have been converted into a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 represents the lowest crash risk and 10 represents the highest crash risk relative to the other violations in the BASIC. Because the weights reflect the relative importance of each violation only within each particular BASIC, they cannot be compared meaningfully across the various BASICs. Therefore, a ‗5‘ in one BASIC is not equivalent to a ‗5‘ in another BASIC, but the ‗5‘ does represent the midpoint between a crash risk of 1 and 10 within the same BASIC. The ―Violation Group‖ column in each table identifies the group to which each violation has been assigned. Each violation within a violation group is assigned the same severity weight.
Derivation of the Severity Weights
The severity weights for each violation were derived through the following six-step process:
1. BASIC Mapping—All roadside safety-related violations were mapped to an appropriate BASIC so the severity weight analysis could be conducted on each individual BASIC.
2. Violation Grouping—All violations in each BASIC were placed into groups of similar violations based on the judgment of enforcement subject matter experts. These groups, listed in the ―Violation Group‖ column in each table, make it possible to incorporate otherwise rarely cited violations into the robust statistical analysis used to derive the severity weights. The violation grouping also ensured that similar types of violations received the same severity weight.
3. Crash Occurrence Analysis—Statistical analysis was performed to quantify the extent of the relationship between crash involvement on the one hand, and violation rates in each violation group, within each BASIC, on the other hand. A driver approach was used in this analysis. This approach was followed due to
FMC-CSA-09-005
March 2010 A-2
strong demonstrable relationships between driver crashes and violations documented in prior research at the Volpe Center. The earlier research was conducted in support of FMCSA‘s CRWG, the CSA 2010 Initiative‘s predecessor. Based on the conclusions from this past research, the Volpe Center developed a Driver Information Resource (DIR) for FMCSA. The DIR uses individual crash and inspection reports from all states to construct multi-year driver safety histories on individual drivers. Multivariate negative binomial regression models were used to quantify the strength of relationships between driver violations rates in individual violation groups and crash involvement.
4. Crash Consequences Analysis—This analysis incorporates crash consequences attributable to the violation groups based on findings from the Violation Severity Assessment Study (VSAS).5 The VSAS quantifies the crash risk associated with individual FMCSR and HMR violations in terms of comparable dollar values. These comparable dollar values represent the increased social cost attributable to the presence of a violation. Together, the regression analysis (Step 3) and VSAS findings make it possible to address total crash risk in terms of both crash occurrence and crash consequence.
5. Subject Matter Expert Review—Enforcement subject matter experts reviewed the results derived purely from the statistical approaches described in Steps 3 and 4. Modifications were made to the severity weights based on input from the subject matter experts. This approach helps to compensate for the limitations of the statistical analysis, such as lack of statistical significance of rarely cited violations.
6. CSMS Effectiveness Test—Various severity weighting schemes developed in Steps 1 through 5 were applied to the CSMS to provide an empirical evaluation of the weighting schemes. The empirical evaluation, or ―CSMS Effectiveness Test,‖ was modeled after the SafeStat Effectiveness Test.6 The CSMS Effectiveness Test was accomplished through the following actions: (1) performing a simulated CSMS run that calculates carrier percentile ranks for each BASIC using historical data; (2) examining each carrier‘s crash involvement over the immediate 18 months after the simulated CSMS timeframe, and (3) observing the relationship between the percentile ranks in each BASIC and the subsequent post-CSMS carrier crash rates. The CSMS Effectiveness Test provides an environment to evaluate various severity weight schemes in terms of their impact in identifying high-risk carriers. It also provides a means of testing other weight schemes, such as the OOS weight, to help optimize CSMS‘s effectiveness.
This six-step process made it possible to develop a conceptual framework for the CSMS in the form of violation groupings and associated severity weights. The associated

severity weights were based on both empirical analysis and valuable accumulated knowledge from field experts. The data-driven component of the process, in particular, differentiates the CSMS from SafeStat and addresses some of the recent criticisms of the SafeStat algorithm.
Tables 1 through 6 list all of the violations in the CSMS, with the first two columns of each table identifying each violation by regulatory part and its associated definition. The third column in each table identifies the violation group to which each violation is assigned, followed by the violation groups‘ severity weights in the fourth column. The final column in these tables specifies whether or not each violation is also included in the DSMS; violations included in the DSMS are the subset of CSMS BASIC violations for which the CMV driver could also be a responsible party.
