After evaluating the risks and benefits associated with the ESCT, it was determined that the benefits outweigh the potential risks. For the purposes of this study, two risks were analyzed when evaluating the ESCT, technical risks and acceptance risks. Based on testing during site visits, both latency and data quality do not appear to be significant technical risks. The
number of tests was limited, particularly when evaluating the tethered trailer tracking system, so it is difficult to make a conclusive statement on latency.
