ATRI solicits ELD data for industry clearinghouse

Oct. 26, 2018
The organization hopes to support solid, thorough and scientifically valid analyses to address major industry problems.

The American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) today launched its initiative to collect and warehouse anonymized electronic logging device (ELD) data. With universal deployment of ELDs, the industry now has a new opportunity to document and address the many issues that impact driver and carrier safety, operations and productivity using the more robust data available from ELDs.

"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 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."

A number of trucking fleets have already shared their ELD data with ATRI to evaluate its potential for a number of critical industry analyses, and ATRI is now is looking for an expanded group of motor carriers who are willing to regularly provide anonymized ELD data to ATRI for the industry clearinghouse. Through the collection of anonymous, aggregated ELD data, ATRI hopes to support solid, thorough and scientifically valid analyses to address major industry problems.
