The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration will present a webinar on the preliminary field test results of the Smart Infrared Inspection System developed by International Electronic Machines Corporation
. The webinar will be held Nov. 12, from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. Eastern time.

The company received a grant from the FMCSA to develop the SIRIS thermal imaging system, which automatically evaluates 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. The technology was tested at numerous locations, including the FMCSA Commercial Motor Vehicle Roadside Technology Corridor along Interstate 81 in Tennessee.

The FMCSA suggests participants register by Nov. 11.
