The American Transportation Research Institute today launched a survey to better understand truck driver perspectives and issues with driver-facing cameras.

ATRI’s driver-facing camera research was a top research priority of its Research Advisory Committee in 2021. A statement from ATRI said previous FMCSA-sponsored research conducted by ATRI documented that truck drivers have very positive opinions about road-facing cameras, but numerous driver concerns were raised about driver-facing cameras. ATRI said this driver-facing camera survey is designed to better understand the specific issues and concerns truck drivers have, and to determine what, if any, strategies might address those concerns.
