Exhibit B <br />ASPEN Responsibilities <br />Introduction. ASPEN was developed to facilitate electronic roadside safety inspections <br />of commercial vehicles and drivers. It provides users with current information about the <br />carrier, an inspection recommendation based on the carrier's safety and accident history, <br />and computer assisted data entry procedures for conducting inspections. The Safety and <br />Fitness Electronic Records System (SAFER) provides information to keep ASPEN users <br />current by identifying changes to carrier information from MCMIS; it also provides a <br />mechanism to electronically transfer inspections reports from roadside ASPEN units to <br />SAFER for input into WSP's SAFETYNET and MCMIS. <br />2.
