ATRI launches study to assess safety benefits of driver-facing cameras
Key takeaways
- ATRI is studying whether driver-facing cameras improve fleet safety and operational performance.
- The research will compare before-and-after safety data from carriers using in-cab monitoring systems.
- ATRI seeks carrier participation by July 24 to identify effective in-cab data management practices.
The American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) has launched a new Safety Impacts of In-Cab Monitoring research study and is inviting motor carriers to participate in the project. ATRI will assess how driver-facing cameras and other in-cab monitoring systems affect safety and operational metrics.
The study builds on previous ATRI research that examined driver perspectives on in-cab monitoring systems, with a specific focus on driver-facing cameras.
Researchers will collect before-and-after safety data to identify any statistical relationships between the deployment of in-cab monitoring systems and improvements in safety outcomes. The study will also examine carrier and driver strategies for managing in-cab data and how those practices relate to safety performance.
Motor carriers interested in participating in the study can submit data online or by PDF. ATRI said all submitted data will remain confidential and will be published only in aggregate form.
The deadline for participation is July 24.
