The CVISN Architecture is the ITS/CVO information systems portion of the National ITS Architecture. It is not a new information system, but rather a way for existing and newly-designed systems to exchange information through the use of standards and available communications infrastructure. CVISN includes information systems owned and operated by federal and state governments, motor carriers, and other stakeholders. CVISN will enable government agencies, the motor carrier industry, and other parties engaged in CVO safety and regulation to exchange information and conduct business transactions electronically
