Abstract:This report contains a brief description of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and ITS technologies for Commercial Vehicle Operations (ITS/CVO). Second, it discusses previous literature regarding benefits of ITS/CVO for motor carriers, as well as managing the change due to technology. In addition, the possible use of transportation-inventory models as a method to examine benefits is explored. Finally, this methodology is illustrated with a case study analysis which reveals potential savings to both the company and their customers. Phase II of this project will involve data collection for a stratified random sample of carriers nationwide, and a subsequent detailed analysis for a wide variety of technologies and types of companies.
