Truck driver input needed on truck parking information systems

April 17, 2019
ATRI seeks to standardize truck parking information systems based on driver preferences.

The American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) launched an online survey to solicit professional driver input on preferences for data formats and delivery mechanisms of truck parking availability information. This data collection is part of ATRI’s 2019 top priority research topic to standardize truck parking information systems based on driver preferences.

ATRI initially surveyed drivers on this topic at the Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, where over 300 drivers completed surveys. The online survey will provide drivers who were not able to attend MATS the opportunity to provide input on this topic. The lack of available truck parking continues to rank as a top industry issue in ATRI’s annual industry survey and, in 2018, was the number two issue for drivers after the Hours-of-Service rules.

ATRI’s research findings will provide states and private sector entities providing truck parking information with the driver-preferred data formats and methods of information delivery.
