What are the Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (BASICs)? Which violations correspond to which BASIC?
The BASICs represent behaviors that can lead to crashes. The categories were developed based on information from a number of studies that quantify the associations between violations and crash risk, as well as statistical analysis and input from enforcement subject matter experts. The Safety Measurement System (SMS) assesses carriers in each of seven BASICs. Below are the seven BASICS and their corresponding Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) parts: – Unsafe Driving (CFR Parts 392 & 397) – Fatigued Driving (Hours-of-Service (HOS)) (CFR Parts 392 & 395) – Driver Fitness (CFR Parts 383 & 391) – Controlled Substances/Alcohol (CFR Parts 382 & 392) – Vehicle Maintenance (CFR Parts 393 & 396) – Cargo-Related (CFR Parts 392, 393, 397 & Hazardous Materials) – Crash Indicator (Reportable Crashes) For more detailed descriptions on the BASICs; visit this website: http://csa2010.fmcsa.dot.gov/about/basics.aspx. The details on which violations correspond to each BASIC can be found in the SMS Methodo
