New technology in some ports is allowing companies to share digital data about freight shipments, making more efficient use of their time. Participants in the 100th annual Transportation Research Board conference, held online over the past two weeks, learned about how ports are expanding their digital footprints during a session titled "Port Community Systems And Beyond" on January 27. The Transportation Research Board is a part of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine; the conference is the world's largest gathering of transportation research professionals, organizers said. This year's theme was "Launching A New Century of Mobility and Quality of Life." More than 350 sessions and workshops took place, including more than 40 on how COVID-19 has impacted transportation and how transportation professionals and researchers are responding. |
