Washington — The American Transportation Research Institute wants to hear from truckers and their employers about the use of onboard safety technologies.
ATRI, which is the research arm of the American Trucking Associations, is conducting separate surveys of both groups as a follow-up to a related survey in 2023.
ATRI is aiming to “improve messaging and issue resolution, with the goal of improving truck safety and efficiency.”
Its driver survey focuses on drivers’ familiarity with technologies such as automatic emergency braking and lane departure warning, as well as which features have the most and fewest safety benefits. For motor carriers, ATRI wants to know which technologies are most and least preferred and seeks feedback related to safety benefits, among other issues.
The surveys take around 10 to 15 minutes to complete, ATRI says. They’re part of research that aligns with the TechCelerate Now program, sponsored by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
