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.
