WASHINGTON —The American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) is calling on motor carriers to participate in its Safety Impacts of In-Cab Monitoring research, which will assess how driver-facing cameras (DFCs) can positively impact safety and operational metrics.

Fleets are increasingly adopting in-cab monitoring systems alongside other core safety technologies. In response, ATRI conducted prior research that examined driver perspectives of these systems, with a specific focus on DFCs.

This new study builds upon that work, collecting before and after safety metrics to identify any statistical relationships between deployment of in-cab monitoring systems and improvements in safety outcomes. The research will also map specific carrier and driver strategies for managing in-cab data that improve safety outcomes.

Motor carriers are invited to participate by Friday, July 24. Data can be submitted online or by PDF at this link. All data will remain confidential and published only in an aggregate format.

Screw that crap!

Enough of the micromanaging in our bedroom!

I would stop driving after 9 years over this crap!!!!’

Driver facing cameras do not promote safety!.driver Facing cameras are a system design similar to Schneider’s driver facing cameras where the artificial intelligence is recording your every movement, so they could take that information through out the years on What the driver’s doing it and feed it into the artificial intelligence. There is no proof you cannot and No one can prove the driver facing cameras improve safety, it is not possible. They actually increase accidents. All you have to do is look at the major carrier’s safer web.And you will see who is the real threat and danger to the roads of america, small carriers or mega carriers. It is a system design do snoop on you and to use you and put that information in the artificial intelligence for the futures of self driving vehicles which will not happen next year which will not happen five years but maybe ten years from now possible

ELD’S AND DRIVER and driver facing cameras have nothing to do with safety. 50 years on the road over 5 million accident free miles. fortunately i don’t need any of this as i am 100 % independent and have more work than i can handle . Just another big lie

driver’s facing camera my opinion is invasion and also the companies doesn’t trust anyone their own drivers with their equipment or anything, promote safety that is not happening with a camera the driver is the one who has to promote safety and prevent incidents and accidents happening. 3rd thing put a camera whoever wants this in their vehicle and home and see if they like it and I’ll bet they don’t.

Should be paid good for being on 🎥 .
Biggest fool to ever hit the big time all I Gotta do is act naturally!
