16. Abstract
This final report was developed as part of the project, “ITS/Intermodal Freight Design for Operational Tests.”The objective of the proj-ect
was to develop a plan for conducting field operational tests to facilitate movement of intermodal freight in the U.S.
Information technology is transforming the intermodal freight industry by enabling it to integrate operations across the supply chain.
Advanced
communications and information systems and intelligent transportation systems (ITS) provide real-time information on intermodal
freight operations and congestion on highways and rail lines. Enough of these systems are in operation today to be linked in a
demonstration of information flow for end-to-end monitoring of the intermodal movement. Sharing information about congestion and
operations across the intermodal freight system is key to addressing the problems of port and terminal capacity and the reliability of
highway and rail access to the ports and terminals.
This report describes how a national ITS program for intermodal freight can promote the application of ITS technology to intermodal
freight transportation. It defines eight possible operational tests that could link public and private information and management
systems, enabling terminal operators, freight carriers, and state and metropolitan traffic operations managers to share information to
optimize flows and better utilize equipment and facilities. These tests would provide benefits to the intermodal industry, its clients, and
the general public that shares the use of the transportation system.
This report identifies three major steps in building a program that will serve industry, local, and national needs. The U.S. DOT should:
1) solicit and fund proposals for operational tests that will demonstrate the productivity and safety benefits of exchanging information
between private sector shipment information and asset management systems and public sector traffic and safety management systems;
2) support ITS/intermodal forums, studies, and programs to advance private and public sector opportunities for accelerated application
of ITS technology to the intermodal freight system; and 3) support the evolution of data interchange standards where they benefit
industry and government.
