    The American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI), which is working with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and other trucking industry stakeholders, is researching advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). ATRI is urging motor carriers to participate in a survey to learn more about trucking safety technologies.

    The FMCSA-sponsored program, better known as Tech-Celerate Now, is documenting carrier and truck driver issues and opportunities that can speed up, or slow down, adoption of these technologies in trucks. 

    The research team is now conducting the second survey of carriers and drivers to better understand how ADAS awareness and perspectives have changed since the program debuted. 

    All responses will be kept strictly confidential and only reported in aggregate statistics. Results of the survey will be released in early 2022.
