Abstract:

In mid-1999, the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) awarded funding for an Intermodal ITS Field Operational Test (FOT) to a regional consortium led by the Washington State DOT (WSDOT). The primary focus of this “WSDOT Intermodal FOT” is to demonstrate the use of electronic container seals on containers (combined with automatic vehicle identification (AVI) transponders attached to the truck) to track movements and monitor the security of containerized freight. This technology can potentially provide the information necessary for U.S. Customs, and other federal agencies and state governments, to automate the clearance and credentialing of commercial vehicles through ports and terminals, across international borders, and through weigh stations. Additionally, these technologies can potentially lead to substantial increases in the efficiencies involved in the movement of goods by the intermodal freight industry. The ltimate goal of this evaluation is to identify "lessons learned" with respect to implementing intermodal ITS technologies for four study areas: system operational processes, technology applications, institutional agreements, and user acceptance. These “lessons learned” will provide guidance to other states, regions and MPOs that are contemplating implementing similar technologies, and will also provide guidance to the USDOT on the need and market for an intermodal information systems architecture and standards. The Evaluation Plan presented here has been developed to serve as a planning and guidance document from which a successful evaluation effort can be implemented.
