摘要: |
Time pressures to deliver cargo more quickly than ever before have focused more attention on the ground-to-air intermodal link. Truck-to-air cargo movements grew rapidly in the 1990s and are expected to continue to increase in the future. Yet, the logistics links between these two modes are still largely maintained and regulated using paper- and telephone-based information exchanges. To respond to the needs of the marketplace and to ensure the security of air passengers and cargo shipments, the U.S. Department of Transportation is encouraging the development and use of new tools and processes. The American Trucking Associations Foundation is leading an effort to develop and test the first operational electronic air cargo manifest and security system in the United States. The goal of this test is to demonstrate the efficiency and security of an Internet-based electronic manifest system compared with traditional processes and paper-based manifest systems. Manufacturing, trucking, and airline companies are participating in this operational test at the Chicago-O'Hare International Airport and New York City-JFK International Airport service areas. This article describes the operational test and the benefits of the ESCM system. |
