Does the scope of 26-OS1 include compliance-focused predictive analytics tools targeting owner-operators and small commercial carriers?
The topic description references "proactive safety indicators" derived from public safety records and voluntary industry data, with an emphasis on small carrier segments and explainable AI. We are exploring whether a Phase I proof-of-concept that uses FMCSA inspection and violation data to generate predictive compliance risk scores for individual owner-operators as a mechanism for early safety intervention falls within the intended scope of this topic. Alternatively, does DOT envision 26-OS1 as focused primarily on multi-carrier fleet telematics at the corridor or network level?

This would be helpful for Phase I scoping because proactive safety indicators may be useful across both large fleets and smaller commercial transportation operators. It would be useful to know whether 26-OS1 is focused only on multi-carrier fleet telematics at larger scale, or whether explainable predictive safety tools for smaller commercial operators, owner-operators, and controlled fleet environments are also within scope when the work supports early safety intervention and resource prioritization.
