The American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) is a nonprofit research partner of the American Trucking Associations. Since 2002, ATRI has partnered with the trucking industry to continuously collect GPS data on key national corridors, using data from nearly 1 million heavy-duty trucks in North America. Currently, ATRI collects more than 100 million GPS data points per day.
The Freight Analysis Framework (FAF) creates a comprehensive picture of freight movement among states and major metropolitan areas by all modes of transportation. The FAFv5 integrates data from a variety of sources. Starting with data from the 2017 Commodity Flow Survey (CFS) and international trade data from the Census Bureau, FAF incorporates data from agriculture, extraction, utility, construction, service, and other sectors.
With access to one of the world’s largest organically grown transportation datasets, Geotab ITS aggregates millions of vehicles worth of telematics data to produce actionable transportation insights and analytics for transportation leaders across North America. These insights are provided in a modular, open platform so that our customers can quickly interact with the data and integrate it into internal systems, processes, and workflows.
The HPMS is a national program that includes inventory information for all of the Nation's public roads as certified by the States’ Governors annually.
