• Abstract:
  This report summarizes the state of the practice in freight-related advanced traveler information systems (ATIS) and assesses their relevance to the development of a Freight Advanced Traveler Information System (FRATIS). The report includes relevant ; government programs and projects, as well as recent technological developments in the private sector which have a bearing on ; FRATIS. Technologies and projects are grouped into seven key areas: Real-time Reliable Information for Freeways, Port/Terminal ; Regions, and Major Freight arterials; Planning, Dynamic, and Regulatory Route Guidance; Weather Information (Including Predictive); Terminal Queue Status (Including Video); Appointment Status; Public-Sector Data Output – Performance Measures; and Container Load Matching. Each technology or program is assessed according to functional area, scope/timeframe, benefits and impacts, performance measures, issues, and lessons learned. Overall, the findings support the notion that FRATIS can benefit from ; an integrated deployment approach which leverages applications and technologies already available in the private sector, while also providing valuable freight performance monitoring to the public sector. ; The report also formulates initial performance measures and transformative performance goals for FRATIS, including improved ; freight travel times; reduced fuel consumption; reductions in criteria pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions; reduced unproductive ; truck trips; reduced terminal wait times; and improved truck trip safety.
