for SDLAs. The Training Provider
Registry requirement for selfcertification of compliance with ELDT
and state licensing requirements adds to
this challenge and will require SDLAs to
allocate additional resources to ensure
third-party training provider selfcertifications are accurate and meet all
requirements.
To address these information gaps,
FMCSA is conducting a project titled
‘‘Effectiveness of Third-Party Testing
and Minimum Standards for the CDL
Knowledge and Skills Test’’, which will
assess the effectiveness of the ELDT
program, assess third-party training
provider performance, and verify/
validate compliance with ELDT
minimum standards. This project is
intended to address the following
research questions:
1. Is there evidence of increasing or
decreasing fraud among third-party
examiners based on the pass rates and
subsequent safety history of CDL
holders who were tested by third-party
testers?
2. Are there significant differences in
the outcomes of third-party testing on
CDL testing?
3. Would it be feasible to conduct a
future study on the safety impacts of
delegating CDL knowledge testing to
third-party testers based on available
data?
4. How do the driving histories of
drivers who received behind-the-wheel
training (pre-ELDT requirements)
compare to drivers who completed the
new ELDT requirements?
5. How do the driving histories of
drivers who received theory instruction
(pre-ELDT requirements) compare to
drivers who completed the new ELDT
requirements?
6. How do skills test pass rates of
drivers pre-ELDT compliance compare
to pass rates of drivers after the ELDT
compliance date?
7. Are there identifiable safety
benefits that have been realized by the
adoption of the 2005 AAMVA CDL Test
Model?
8. Are there external factors
preventing SDLAs and the CDL
community from achieving the full
potential of safety benefits of the 2005
AAMVA CDL Test Model?
This one-time survey is necessary to
determine institutional and
programmatic issues in assessing the
effectiveness of the ELDT programs and
where improvements should be made;
this will ultimately contribute to the
safety of our transportation system. The
survey will allow researchers to
determine which version of the AAMVA
V test model (or equivalent) is being

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background
Lower levels of automated driving
system (ADS)-equipped CMVs present
an environment that is ripe for
overreliance. An L2 vehicle offers
longitudinal and lateral support to the
driver; however, the driver is still
responsible for driving at all times. At
this level, engaging in non-driving
secondary tasks can be highly
detrimental to driving performance as
the driver may not recognize and
respond to hazards timely or
appropriately. In an L3 vehicle, the role
of distraction is blurred. The driver
takes on a more supervisory role and is
in full control of the vehicle in a limited
number of situations. When an L3
vehicle alerts the driver that a takeover
is required, the driver needs to have
situational awareness to resume full
control of the vehicle. Engagement in
non-driving secondary tasks may
prevent the driver from maintaining
situational awareness of the driving
environment.
A recently completed study by
FMCSA on research involving ADSs in
CMVs found a lack of research related
to ADS-equipped CMVs. To date, most
commercial ADSs on U.S. roadways are
in passenger vehicles, and CMV ADSs
are only recently being implemented in
real-world operations. Therefore,
FMCSA needs more data on ADSequipped CMVs to understand driver
behavior and policy implications.
The purpose for obtaining data in this
study is to evaluate driver readiness to
assume control in SAE L2 and L3 ADSequipped CMVs and develop and test a
CMV driver distraction training program
designed to improve driver readiness.
Specifically, there are three primary
objectives for the data collection: (i)
determine the effect of distraction on
CMV drivers of L2 vehicles; (ii)
determine the effect of transfer of
control on CMV drivers in L3 vehicles;
and (iii) develop and evaluate a training
program that is designed to decrease the
levels of distraction that were identified
in CMV drivers in L2 vehicles and
designed to improve the problems with
the transfer of control that were
identified in L3 vehicles. Answers to
these research questions will provide
insight into the human factors
associated with semi-automated CMVs.
Moreover, these findings will inform
training materials to educate drivers on
distraction and the functionality of ADS
as well as policy pertaining to the
implications of ADSs in CMVs.
The study includes data collection
from a series of questionnaires and a
driving simulator-focused experiment.

PO 00000

Frm 00072

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

The collected survey data will support
the simulator experiment data. The
survey data will be used in two ways:
in the assessment of driving
performance data as covariates in the
model (to control for certain
demographic variables, such as age,
gender, and experience) and to answer
a research question on the relationship
between driver characteristics and
driver readiness and performance. Data
on driver readiness and performance
will be collected from the simulator
experiment. Eligible drivers will hold a
valid commercial driver’s license,
currently drive a CMV, be 21 years of
age or older, and pass the motion
sickness history screening
questionnaire.
Data will be collected over two study
sessions. The first study session will
collect data on the effects of non-driving
secondary tasks and readiness to resume
control of an L2- or L3-equipped CMV.
The second study session will assess the
effectiveness of driver training to
improve safety while operating an L2 or
L3 CMV. Questionnaire data will be
collected prior to the simulator study,
during the simulator study, and after the
simulator study. In addition,
participants will complete
questionnaires about the training in the
second study session. All questionnaires
will be preloaded in an app format for
drivers to complete on a tablet.
We anticipate 100 participants in total
for the driving simulator study. Fifty
drivers will participate in the L2 study
sessions, and the other 50 drivers will
participate in the L3 study sessions.
During consent, each participant will
agree to participate in both the L2/L3
simulator study session and the training
study session. For a participant who
chooses not to continue, a new driver
will be recruited to fill their position.
These new participants will not have
data from the L2/L3 study but will need
to complete a new consent form, pre-/
post-study questionnaires, and the
training questionnaire. Each study
session will be completed in 4 hours,
resulting in a total of up to 8 hours of
participation for drivers that complete
both study sessions.
Multiple analyses will be used,
including an assessment of driver
distraction and its effects on driver
readiness and driving performance. In
the L2 and L3 studies, general linear
mixed models (GLMMs) will be used to
answer the research questions. In the
transportation safety field, GLMMs are
often used to analyze driver behavior
and assess relationships between
driving scenarios and behaviors. To
evaluate the effectiveness of the training
program, linear mixed models will be

used with random intercepts. Driver
random intercepts will account for
participants’ correlated behaviors and
expectations in the L2 or L3 system
before and after training.
