RSF 86, Update of Kentucky's ITD Program Plan and Top Level Design

Each year, FMCSA requires states to provide an updated Project Plan and Top Level Design (PP/TLD) before the state can submit an application for grant funding. The PP/TLD document provides an overview of the state’s ITD-related technologies as well as descriptions of the systems and components that make up the architecture. In addition, the document describes any new software or hardware components that will be added to the architecture. The PP/TLD also explains how those new components will interface with currently deployed ITD components and how they improve the state’s Core ITD program. The purpose of this project is to conduct a thorough review of Kentucky’s PP/TLD and expand the scope of the document to accommodate long-range planning efforts as well as provide more in-depth detail about Kentucky’s ITD architecture. This request will help Kentucky plan for future ITD deployment with projects that will demonstrate new technology while reducing CMV crashes and improving the efficiency of CMV enforcement and operations. The updating of a state’s PP/TLD is noted as a top priority under the HP-ITD grant notice. The objectives of this project are to: • Review and expand the scope of PP/TLD • Submit a revised PP/TLD to FMCSA for approval Task 1: Interview DMC and OIT experts about ITD-Related Technologies Task 2: Review of Interview Data Task 3: Long-Range Planning Task 4: Development of Expanded PP/TLD Task 5: Follow-up Review by ITD stakeholders Task 6: Submission to FMCSA
