... With these questions in mind, the CTBSSP initiated this project to synthesize data, research, and analyses performed to date in terms of both the methodologies employed to assess speed limiters and the actual results, which may be used to guide policy development in North America. The scope of the project encompasses data and analyses that assess the safety efficacy of speed limiters for commercial motor vehicles in Australia, Europe, and North America.
