Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (BASICs)... 

Every month, SMS measures the previous 24 months of roadside violation and crash data performance and calculates a score in the seven Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (BASICS). 

Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (BASICs) Seven categories of safety behaviors measured in the Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) Safety Measurement System (SMS). The BASICs represent behaviors that can lead to crashes. The BASICs are unsafe driving, hours-of-service compliance, driver fitness, controlled substances/alcohol, vehicle maintenance, hazardous materials (HM) compliance, and crash indicator. 

The individual company needs accurate financial data to make wise globalization decisions. Revenue and cost accounts, translated into improvement categories, are particularly useful. Table 7.1 describes the supply chain improvement categories we recommend and possible impacts from globalization on each category.

Safety-related events that enter the CSA SMS through the FMCSA data collections system (MCMIS) are placed into one of seven B ASICs (Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories). These BASICs are compliance areas, and are based on the FMCSA regulations (with the exception of the Crash BASIC, which simply tracks a carrier s crashes). The BASICs (and related regulatory Parts) are ... 

SACC therapy of 5 patients with arthrosis deformans was least successful. Pain and mobility were influenced to such a slight degree that this therapy could not be considered superior to conventional forms of treatment, although 3 of the 5 patients progressed to the Improved category. 

The goal of this manual is to explain the Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (BASICs) that affect both a carrier s and driver s scoring as filtered through the Safety Measurement System (SMS). This score has the potential to result in an intervention by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Carriers with the most severely rated violations during roadside inspections and/or interventions that failed to achieve safety improvements could see their ability to operate under their USDOT number suspended. 

New Safety Measurement System (SMS). SMS replaces SafeStat in an effort to improve FMCSA s ability to identify demonstrated safety problems. FMCSA has transferred all safety-related data from SafeStat to SMS and is using the Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (BASICs) scoring system rather than the Safety Evaluation Areas (SEAs) used previously under SafeStat. 

The scoring inside each Behavior Analysis Safety Improvement Categories (BASIC) will be based on the severity of the violation or crash and when the violation or crashes occurred (i.e., time weighted). As a... 

This model automatically categorizes data into behavioral areas, or Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (BASICs). BASICS represent behaviors that lead to or increase the consequences of crashes. Rather than rel3dng solely on the resrdts of a comphance... 

Organized in 4 broad categories — Safety Evaluation Areas Organized by Behavior Analysis Safety Improvement Categories (7 BASICS)... 

When a roadside inspection report is generated, law enforcement personnel enter the results into MCMIS, including violations that did not result in an OOS order. The results of the interventions are also documented into the system. Data on both the driver and motor carrier that was entered into the system is fed to SMS for evaluation and eventually populates two subcategories — the Carrier Safety Measurement System (CSMS) and Driver Safety Measurement System (DSMS). Carriers and drivers alike are scored within each of the seven Behavioral Analysis Safety Improvement Categories (BASICs) for all roadside inspections and interventions. 

If a carrier has had problems in a specific Behavior Analysis Safety Improvement Category (BASIC), that area will be emphasized during... 

MCMIS data populates the Analysis Information (A I) Online statistics and Safety Measurement System (SMS). The SMS uses MCMIS data to score motor carriers and drivers rmder the Comprehensive Safety Evaluation (CSA) enforcement program. If information is not noted on the inspection report, it will not be included in either the driver or carrier s SMS score and ranking among peers. For example, if a driver is given a traffic citation and is convicted, but the traffic violation is not included in the roadside inspection report, it will not be fed into the system via MCMIS. And the violation will not appear as an Unsafe Driving BASIC (Behavior Analysis Safety Improvement Category) attributed to the driver and carrier, although it will appear on the driver s motor vehicle report (MVR).
