摘要：	The transportation engineering profession is devoted to providing a transportation system that is safe and secure for all users. The system, however, is often abused by those seeking to maximize their own gain-whether through operating grossly overweight trucks to increase shipping profits or to engage in illicit activities such as human trafficking. The Polaris Project, an international organization devoted to combatting human trafficking, identifies the transportation industry as one of the most important components of the human trafficking enterprise.(1) Data from the IBM Traffic Analysis Hub indicate that of the 3,019 trafficking events recorded in the United States from March 2020 to February 2021, almost 2,400 involved a form of surface transportation (i.e., car, truck, or bus), with the remaining involving air travel or seaports and waterways.
