Abstract:The infusion of information technology in all industrial processes has elevated the performance of the U.S. economy to new heights. Yet our transportation system is still guided by many of the obsolete infrastructure investment and pricing paradigms of the old economy. Consequently, our freight network suffers from congestion, and environmental degradation. The network also faces severe capacity shortages in some segments and is underutilized in others. We need new accounting tools for infrastructure pricing and new strategies for incorporating the full costs and environmental impacts of network use.
