Abstract:The 2014 biennial Marine Transportation System (MTS) research and development conference entitled Innovative Technologies for a Resilient Marine Transportation System was held on June 24-26th, 2014, at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C. The Conference was organized by the Transportation Research Board (TRB) and sponsored by the U.S. Committee on the Marine Transportation System (CMTS). The purpose of the conference was to work towards a more resilient Marine Transportation System (MTS) through the identification of current innovative technologies, the gaps in knowledge or future technology needs, determine current and future disturbances to the MTS, and uncover opportunities for collaboration. This report is a research and development call to action to help guide near-term MTS research by assimilating broad ideas that were presented during the conference keynote and plenary panels and introducing the innovative emerging technologies that are being developed by academia, the federal government, and private industry. The specific action items are found within the document.
