Abstract:This research summary report describes research carried out to develop an integrated survey methodology and instrument to support the collection of freight movement data. The researchers leveraged the Future Mobility Sensing (FMS) framework, which combines tracking and sensing data with machine-learning algorithms on the back end and user participation to convert raw passive tracking data into processed and verified data. The researchers conducted case studies in each of three phases of the project to test the FMS system with vehicle tracking, shipment tracking, and an integrated test to track both vehicles and shipments together. The project served as a proof of concept that new and emerging technologies can overcome some of the existing challenges to freight logistics data collection.
