Abstract:

This report describes a Concept of Operations (ConOps) for a Freight Advanced Traveler Information System (FRATIS). The

ConOps describes the goals, functions, key concepts, user classes, high-level architecture, operational scenarios, operational

policies, and expected impacts of FRATIS. This ConOps is intended as a foundational document for communicating the user needs

and system requirements for FRATIS to system developers. Systems engineers will use the ConOps to develop detailed technical

specifications that meet the user needs defined herein.

The ConOps defines two separate but interoperable FRATIS application “bundles” covering freight-specific travel planning, dynamic

routing, and performance measurement; and drayage optimization. Data sources for the applications include regional Intelligent

Transportation Systems (ITS), third party truck movement data, intermodal terminal data, and U.S. DOT Connected Vehicle data.

FRATIS basic application functionality will be provided in the public realm using open-source data and services. Enhanced

functionality is expected to be available on a subscription basis via value-added commercial applications developed for specific target

markets. It is anticipated that development and implementation of the FRATIS application bundles as envisioned will result in private

benefits including travel time reduction and fuel savings, as well as public benefits like bobtail reduction and air quality improvements.

Public sector data outputs would provide transportation agencies with new tools for freight performance measurement and project

evaluation.
