Through a research grant from the FMCSA, the International Electronic Machines Corporation developed and tested a Smart Infrared Inspection System (SIRIS) at numerous locations including the FMCSA Commercial Motor Vehicle Roadside Technology Corridor along Interstate 81 in Eastern Tennessee. This webinar will showcase the intelligent capabilities of the SIRIS thermal imaging system, which is now capable of automatically evaluating each vehicle as it passes and, via a combined audio and visual alert, notify inspectors in the scale house of possible issues with a particular vehicle. Jeff Loftus, Technology Division Transportation Specialist, will present the results of the SIRIS system demonstration in April 2009 and follow-on field operational test in August 2009, which evaluated a combined total of over 7,000 vehicles. 60 minutes
