• 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.
