Abstract:The agricultural and manufacturing industries in the US Midwest region rely heavily on the efficiency of freight transportation systems. While the growth of freight movement far outpaces that of the transportation infrastructure, ensuring the efficiency and sustainability of the transportation networks becomes a major challenge. The prominent disbenefit of delay and unreliability highlights the need for an integrated, systems-level framework that incorporates cutting-edge information technologies and advanced multimodal network modeling techniques to monitor, manage and plan complex freight transportation systems. Recent developments in sensing and information technology hold the promise to allow efficient monitoring, assessment, and management of complex systems.
