• Providing data, producing statistics, and conducting systematic studies directed toward fuller scientific discovery, knowledge, or understanding, and
• Identifying, testing, and supporting technology transfer activities and deployment of CMV safety technologies.

ART is made up of three divisions. The primary responsibilities of the Analysis Division are to provide timely, accurate, and complete data, statistics and analysis in support of FMCSA programs, State partners, the motor carrier industry

The Research Division conducts research to reduce CMV-involved crashes and enhance the safety and efficiency of CMV operations by conducting systematic studies directed toward fuller scientific discovery, knowledge, and understanding that contribute to a safe and secure commercial transportation system.

The Technology Division identifies, develops, tests and deploys innovative technologies to improve the safety and security of commercial motor vehicles (CMV). The division conducts research and testing to support the deployment of existing CMV safety solutions; and the safe introduction of Automated Driving Systems (ADS) in the National Transportation System.
