• Abstract:
  In January 2001, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) released a solicitation requesting "Cost Sharing Cooperative Agreements" to conduct operational tests to improve efficiencies in the intermodal freight operations and to establish the foundation for an intermodal freight ITS architecture. In response to the solicitation, a team led by American Presidents Line (APL), which included the Union Pacific Railroad, PAR LMS (a manufacturer and overseer of the Cargo*Mate Logistics Information Management System) and Transentric (software developers and integrators), submitted a successful cost-sharing bid to conduct an operational prototype deployment test that addresses both the Cargo Visibility and Freight Information Highway components of the USDOT solicitation.
