SAFETY MEASUREMENT SYSTEM (SMS definition

SAFETY MEASUREMENT SYSTEM (SMS means the automated, data driven analytical system designed to quantify a motor carrier’s relative performance in any of seven Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (BASICs) using data from roadside inspections, including all safety-based violations, State-reported crashes, and the Federal motor carrier census. A carrier’s measurement for each BASIC depends on the number of adverse safety events, the severity of violations or crashes, and when the adverse safety event occurred. More recent events are weighted more heavily. After a measurement is determined the carrier is placed in a peer group consisting of carriers with a similar number of safety events. The SMS computes a percentile ranking based on a 0-100 scale for each BASIC by comparing the carrier’s measurement to the measurements of all other carriers in the peer group. A percentile rank of 100 indicates the worst performance. Carriers with percentiles above a certain threshold and meeting minimum data sufficiency requirements in a BASIC are targeted for specific safety interventions designed to reduce the at-risk behavior(s) that are frequently associated with commercial motor vehicle crashes.
