ATRI launches motor carrier survey on telematics uses and benefits
Key takeaways
- ATRI is gathering carrier input to better understand real-world telematics use in fleet operations.
- Findings from the telematics study will inform best practices to improve safety, operations, and maintenance performance.
- Motor carriers that participate in the confidential survey can help shape industry benchmarks and guidance before the April 17 deadline.
The American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) recently released a motor carrier survey to gather input on telematics uses and data-driven performance metrics.
The survey supports the “Capitalizing on Telematics” study, which the Research Advisory Committee identified in 2025 as a top priority. The research aims to document industry best practices and evaluate how fleets are using telematics data, as well as emerging applications across operations, safety, and maintenance.
The findings will be used to develop a best practices guide for leveraging telematics data to improve overall fleet performance. Motor carriers are invited to participate in the confidential survey, which will remain open through April 17.
