ATRI invites motor carriers to participate in driver-facing cameras study

Jul 7, 2026 | Industry News

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.
