WASHINGTON — The American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) is conducting a follow-up survey for motor carriers and truck drivers on adoption levels and user perspectives for onboard safety technologies.
The research is part of the ongoing TechCelerate program, which is sponsored by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). The TechCelerate research team includes ATRI, ATA’s Technology & Maintenance Council (TMC) and the OOIDA Foundation.

This follow-up survey on industry adoption of onboard safety systems will allow the research team to compare and contrast updated findings with the original TechCelerate survey conducted in 2023. The two surveys will also help the research team to improve messaging and issue resolution, with the goal of improving truck safety and efficiency.
Motor Carrier Survey
The Motor Carrier survey helps identify which safety technologies are most and least preferred by motor carriers, and what issues and perspectives they’ve encountered relating to truck driver acceptance, repair & maintenance and safety benefits – among other topics. The survey should take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. The motor carrier survey can be found here.
Truck Driver Survey
The Truck Driver survey focuses on truck driver familiarity and experiences with the onboard safety technologies, and which technologies had the most and fewest safety benefits, from a driver’s perspective. The truck driver survey should take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. The survey can be found here.
