Tool to Access Effectiveness of Intermodal Facility Location and Carrier Collaboration
项目名称: Tool to Access Effectiveness of Intermodal Facility Location and Carrier Collaboration
摘要: Description: This project will explore fundamental elements of transportation hub location, freight consolidation execution within a local geographic region, and the integration of connected multimodal mobility within the context of on-demand collaborative logistics systems. This will be done on a state level with South Carolina serving as the case study. Intellectual Merit: The goal of this research is to reduce inefficiency in the logistics sector, assist in the transition to future logistics systems, and develop ideas that will be integral to future logistics systems. It will do so by focusing on connectivity and interoperability as facilitators for on-demand, collaborative logistics systems. Broader Impacts: The ultimate aim is to better understand and inform investment decisions that can facilitate and coordinate a transition from the current logistics strategy to one that is more efficient and has less impact on society and the environment. This will save on money, time, emissions, road space, and fuel in the logistics system, benefiting businesses, governments, and consumers. Technology Transfer Plan: The models and tools developed by the team will be available for use by the South Carolina Department of Transportation, Council of Governments, and Department of Commerce. Video tutorials will be developed and shared with interested stakeholders.
