The National Roadway Safety Strategy (NRSS) is a collaborative effort between the Office of the Secretary for Transportation (OST) and the Operating Administrations (OAs) whose responsibilities include roadway safety. The NRSS sets a vision of zero roadway deaths and identifies tangible Departmental actions to reduce the number of deaths each year. As part of the NRSS, the U.S. DOT adopted the Safe System Approach, which includes five elements-Safer People, Safer Roads, Safer Vehicles, Safer Speeds, and Post-Crash Care-and acknowledges that humans make mistakes, and redundancy is critical.

Early detection of possible failures and fires by detecting overheated areas (also known as hot spots) in passenger and freight transport has the potential to significantly increase safety in road and rail traffic. However, previous approaches do not adequately meet the requirements for contactless and seamless thermographic monitoring of vehicles. In the BMBF-funded project BiCam, Fraunhofer IAF and DIAS Infrared GmbH are developing an outdoor camera system over a period of two years that combines eSWIR and NIR spectral ranges.
