The American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) is a non-profit research organization that conducts transportation research. ATRI is looking for trucking companies who are willing to regularly provide anoynmized ELD data to ATRI, so they can create an ELD database. Through the collection of anonymous, aggregated ELD data, ATRI hopes to support solid, thorough and scientifically valid analyses to address major industry problems.
"The new data generated by ELDs can provide a wealth of insight and research support to our industry," said Andrew Boyle, Co-President of Boyle Transportation, CTA Member, and ATRI Board Member. "But we clearly need a trusted third-party facilitator to manage and monitor how the information is used. ATRI is uniquely suited to serve that role. In the right context, ELDs can provide the real-world data needed to guide future regulations and initiatives."
