Abstract:The Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Joint Program Office (JPO), the Maritime Administration (MARAD), and other administrations within the United States Department of Transportation are seeking ways to improve the efficiency of drayage trucking at ports. The needs of ports were assessed through in-person interviews with port and terminal operators, authorities, and drayage trucking firms. An online questionnaire supplemented the stakeholder information. Potential solutions range from off-site staging areas, to virtual gates, all the way to automated trucks and innovative vehicles on limited routes. Four alternative approaches were selected for detailed benefit-cost analysis. These approaches were analyzed for implementation at five different types of ports, each representing a combination of land cost, cargo volume, and other factors. Through continued involvement of stakeholders, pilot programs can lead to demonstrating and implementing the solutions.
