A method for enhancing situational awareness in a transportation vehicle including combination tractor and a trailer. The method includes locating a plurality of cameras on the trailer of the vehicle. Each camera is equipped with a camera wash system including a wash nozzle, dryer, and defroster. The cameras are operatively connected to a local area user network via an onboard access point. The onboard access point communicates with a data bus of the vehicle. At vehicle start-up, the cameras are automatically paired with a computing device located inside the tractor. The computing device includes a display screen and graphical interface with icon tabs representing each of the connected cameras. Using the icon tabs rendered on the display screen of the computing device, a selected camera and associated camera wash system can be manually activated.
