摘要：	Industry and government are concerned about the capacity of existing ports and terminals - and the associated highways, rail lines, and waterways that serve them - to handle steadily increasing volumes of intermodal traffic, especially containerized freight. Today's intermodal freight system is not equipped to handle the growth it is experiencing. For the Port Authority of New York/New Jersey, the most acute problem occurs on landside access to terminals. With very little room for land and facility expansion, the private terminals at the Port Authority's Marine Terminals are struggling with the ever-increasing flow of trucks into their terminals to unload and load container ships. To respond to this situation, the Port Authority is looking to leverage information technologies and intelligent transportation systems (ITS) to improve he efficiencies of Port operations. The Freight Information Real-time System for Transport (FIRST) Demonstration Project is being developed and funded in part as an attempt to develop some unique solutions to these problems. The FIRST system is focused on testing new concepts for the following three elements: improving landside transportation access to ports, enhancing information sharing among intermodal freight service providers, and reducing the air pollution caused by truck congestion at intermodal marine terminals. FIRST is an Internet-based, real-time network that integrates numerous resources into a single, easy-to-use web site for access to cargo and Port information needs. Part A of this document was developed to serve as a planning and guidance document from which a successful evaluation effort will be implemented. Part B provides more detailed guidance for performing associated tests and measurements while conducting three specific evaluation studies.
