Abstract:

This project report presents details of research carried out by the George Mason University ; Consortium under a research contract from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Research ; and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA), in support of the Commercial Remote ; Sensing and Spatial Information (CRS&SI) Technology program. ; The Consortium research focused on developing first line decision making tools for state and ; local agencies for identifying alternate freight transportation options using available waterways. ; The marine highway freight system (MHFS) offers the opportunity for increasing freight ; capacity and relieving highway congestion with low infrastructure investments. The GMU ; Consortium study showed that planning of marine highways can be accomplished cost ; effectively using results of model analysis and by applying emerging CRS&SI tools. ; The project developed methods to compare potential cost savings in marine highways by ; coupling the following three modeling and analysis processes: 1) A highway model for freight ; flow leading to the ports; 2) a waterway model for marine transportation and 3) a drayage freight ; flow analysis system. The results have generic application nationwide for marine highways. For ; proof of concept purposes, the study focused on the Eastern corridor region (I-95 Corridor).
