The American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) today called 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.

The Supreme Court’s unanimous decision in Montgomery v. Caribe Transport eliminated a federal preemption defense brokers had relied on for years. State-law negligent hiring claims against freight brokers can now proceed, and the implications extend well beyond the broker community.
Join Saxton & Stump Shareholders Doug Marcello and Trucking and Commercial Transportation Co-Chair Mike Traxler, alongside Vice President of Transportation at Marsh McLennan Agency Kevin Forbes, for a free webinar covering three areas of immediate concern:
- Litigation exposure: what the decision means for broker liability and the carrier vetting standard going forward
- Contractual indemnification: what to expect in broker-carrier agreements and how carriers should respond
- Insurance: coverage considerations for brokers and carriers, including trucking companies that also broker loads
What You Will Learn
Attendees will leave with a clear framework for assessing their exposure and the practical steps to take now.
