The American Transportation Research Institute recently said it is initiating research on the role that advanced safety systems can have in improving safety and productivity in trucking. 

This research is part of the ongoing TechCelerate Now program, which is sponsored by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. The TechCelerate Now research team includes ATRI, ATA’s Technology and Maintenance Council, and the OOIDA Foundation.

A statement from ATRI said to better understand the issues and opportunities for advanced driver assistance systems in the trucking industry, the research team is distributing a motor carrier survey that identifies which technologies are in use by motor carriers, and what issues and perspectives they’ve encountered relating to truck driver acceptance, repair and maintenance, and safety benefits – among other topics. The survey should take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete.

The survey is posted on the new TechCelerate Now website, which provides substantially more information on the program, and will house the soon-to-be released TechCelerate Now “Return on Investment” calculator – which will allow users to see direct benefit-cost information specific to each carrier and driver, according to ATRI.

The survey can be found on the TechCelerate Now website here
