The Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) Safety and Security Technology Field Operational Test evaluation was conducted in support of the U.S. Department of Transportation's (USDOT's) Intelligent Transportation System Joint Program Office (ITS-JPO) and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's (FMCSA) Hazardous Materials Division. The project was managed by Mr. Joseph Delorenzo of FMCSA, and was conducted under the ITS-JPO's Independent Evaluation Program, which is managed by Mr. Joseph Peters, Ph.D.
This evaluation effort was improved significantly though input from the public sector experts on the HAZMAT Review Team. The following experts provided guidance to the SAIC Evaluation Team in the areas of HAZMAT Operations, Commercial Vehicle Operations (CVO) security, and Intelligent Transportation Systems:

The SAIC Evaluation Team would also like to recognize the outstanding support provided the Deployment Team, managed by Mr. John Allen of Battelle, as well as the numerous industry and public sector stakeholders involved in this test. In particular, SAIC would like to recognize the outstanding data collection and logistical support provided to the Evaluation Team throughout this effort by Mr. Derrick Vercoe of QUALCOMM.
Finally, the SAIC Evaluation Team would like to also thank Mr. Kevin Johnson from the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Transportation Security Administration (TSA), who volunteered his time to serve as Co-Chairman of our HAZMAT Security Expert Panel. SAIC would like to thank all of the members of this panel who are outlined as follows, as well as a much larger set of security experts who participated in our Security Assessment Delphi Process.
