Advance Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) appear to provide dramatic improvements in truck safety, but there is still considerable confusion over what ADAS really means. FMCSA-sponsored research has developed critical insight into what ADAS can do for fleets and truck drivers, and the benefits may extend beyond safety. this session will highlight the key components of ADAS, and what the safety technology future might look like from a truck driver's perspective. Attend this session to:
Understanding ADAS technologies
Become educated on truck driver perspectives on ADAS - good and bad
Learn how ADAS might address truck driver issues and truck driver shortages.
