• Abstract:
  This technical memorandum presents a concise assessment of the key technical and nontechnical issues and limitations related to ; field-testing the Freight Advanced Traveler Information System (FRATIS) Dynamic Mobility Applications (DMA) bundle and its ; applications based on a near-term testing window of one year. There are relatively few technology limitations, although private-sector data will be required (and may need to be purchased) to support some FRATIS functionality. Nontechnical issues mainly ; revolve around establishing, maintaining, and leveraging the appropriate relationships with public- and private-sector stakeholders, ; and developing the right institutional environment for the FRATIS public-private partnership. The memorandum also identifies ; challenges and issues related to the near-term performance metrics and goals for FRATIS. Performance metrics are rated based on ; ease of measurement. Testing of FRATIS in the near term should result in relatively easy to measure benefits related to improved ; freight-traveler-information, route-planning, and dynamic-routing functions. Benefits related to eliminating unnecessary truck trips and ; reducing truck-trip times may be more difficult to measure. It will therefore be necessary to develop a measurement approach that ; incorporates field data as well as an analytical approach to estimate “what if” benefits of a full systemwide regional deployment. ; Finally, measurement of truck-trip-safety improvements associated with FRATIS will probably be impossible to measure with any ; certainty; it is therefore recommended that the evaluation focus instead on developing estimates of how such a benefit might be ; realized.
