• Abstract:
  The purpose of this project is to design and experiment on a technology to track, organize, ; extract and analyze data on port drayage activities from which a clear understanding of drayage ; efficiency can be gained. Drayage efficiency may point to different measures for different ; stakeholders. However, they can all be linked to a number of quantifiable measures that include ; turn times at the port terminals, speed of travel on the road, as well as percentage of travel that ; drivers make in vehicle repositioning. We show how these and other relevant measures can be ; obtained using this technology.
