I would like to address this question to anyone who wants to answer it.

I realize the freight transportation industry faces an array of challenges. Our highways are getting busier. I'm from northern Alberta where we have Highway 63, which is very busy.

Are the technological advances assisting in reducing the number of incidents? I was reading about real-time data collection, and how it monitors things and sends information back in real time to wherever it goes.

Is that a significant improvement for the industry as far as safety standards go?
