An hour-and-a-half webinar about Lane Departure Warning Systems will be held beginning at 11 a.m. EST (8 a.m. PST) Tuesday, when several motor carrier safety directors share their LDWS experiences.
Fleet representatives can simultaneously listen and watch the live FMCSA-sponsored webinar from any location in the United States that has Internet and telephone access.
The American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) will also be participating on the webinar, along with Dean Newell, vice president of safety for Maverick Transportation and Jerry Waddell, director of safety for Cargo Transporters. Both fleets have operated hundreds of LDWS on their fleets, and will talk candidly about the role of LDWS in improving safety.
This LDWS webinar will be the first of several such events that will highlight industry experiences with on-board safety technologies. Future webinars will review Rollover Stability Systems and Collision Warning Systems.
To register for the webinar, send an e-mail to FMCSA_Host@dot.gov and include the words "LDWS Webinar" in the subject line.
Confirmation notices will be e-mailed and will contain the web address, phone number and other relevant information. Registrations, which will offer preference to motor carriers, will be accepted for up to 150 people. In the event that interest exceeds capacity, future sessions may be offered.
For technical questions on the webinar or special accommodations, contact the conference coordinator at (202) 385-2375.
