The American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) – working with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and other trucking industry stakeholders – is researching advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) technologies, relating to awareness, deployment rates, perspectives, and concerns.  Results of this survey — which is part of a one-year follow-up to our original baseline research — will be reported through the ADAS fleet adoption program, Tech-Celerate Now, to support industry safety goals.   

Tech-Celerate Now — launched in February 2020 — includes the following ADAS performance categories jointly identified by government and industry to improve transportation safety, new technology education, and the driving experience for truck drivers.

ADAS – Braking ADAS – Steering ADAS – Warning ADAS – Monitoring
  • Automatic Emergency Braking
  • Adaptive Cruise Control
  • Adaptive Speed Limiters
  • Fixed Speed Limiters
  • Active Lane Keep Assist
  • Active Lane Centering
  • Adaptive Steering Control
  • Lane Departure Warning
  • Forward Collision  Warning
  • Blind Spot Warning
  • Driver-Facing Camera
  • Road-Facing Camera  
  • Camera-Based Mirror System

Your input on the following questions will provide critical insight on assessing trucking industry perspectives for accelerating the adoption of ADAS.  The last few questions ask about your crashes and miles over the past year.  

Your survey responses will be kept completely CONFIDENTIAL and only reported in the aggregate.  Thank you for participating in this important research.
