Collision Points Threshold
A collision points threshold value is determined for each carrier, based on its “kilometric rate of travel per month” in Canada (in Ontario, for US-plated carriers), by all the commercial motor vehicles operating under the carrier’s CVOR certificate. All carriers with the same rate of travel, therefore, will have the same “collision points threshold”. The collision violation rates of a large sample of carriers were analysed and a threshold curve was established which identifies those carriers with unacceptably high collision rates relative to other carriers of similar rate of travel.
Conviction Points Threshold
A conviction points threshold value is determined for each carrier, based on its “kilometric rate of travel per month” in Canada (in Ontario, for US-plated carriers), by all the commercial motor vehicles operating under the carrier’s CVOR certificate. All carriers with the same rate of travel, therefore, will have the same “conviction points threshold”. The conviction violation rates of a large sample of carriers were analysed and a threshold curve was established which identifies those carriers with unacceptably high conviction rates relative to other carriers of similar rate of travel.
Inspection Points Threshold
An inspection points threshold value is determined for each carrier, based on its frequency of CVSA inspections. The number of “units” inspected is determined by adding the total number of vehicles inspected to the total number of drivers inspected. All carriers with the same number of units inspected, therefore, will have the same “inspection points threshold”. The inspection violation rates of a large sample of carriers were analysed and a threshold curve was established which identifies those carriers with unacceptably high CVSA inspection “out-of-service” rates relative to other carriers with a similar number of units inspected.
