ATRI Launches Industry-Wide Survey on Telematics Data Utilization

Event summary

  • ATRI launched a survey on April 1, 2026 to gather data on telematics applications in trucking fleets.
  • The survey is part of the 'Capitalizing on Telematics' study, prioritized by ATRI's Research Advisory Committee in 2025.
  • The research aims to document best practices and assess emerging capabilities in telematics data use.
  • The survey will remain open until April 17, 2026, with results expected to inform a best practices guide.

The big picture

The survey reflects growing industry interest in leveraging telematics for data-driven decision-making in trucking operations. As fleets increasingly adopt telematics systems, the research could set benchmarks for performance optimization and safety enhancements. The findings may also shape future regulatory discussions on transportation efficiency and compliance.
