摘要: This Proceedings records the written and oral deliberations from the November 2-4,1999 Marine Transportation System Research and Development Conference. The Conference was held as a part of the Marine Transportation System Initiative, a government-industry cooperative venture to coordinate improvements to the U.S. Marine Transportation System (MTS). The MTS consists of waterways, ports and their intermodal connections, vessels, vehicles, and system users. Each component is itself a complex system but is closely linked with the other components. Stakeholders include national, state, and local goverments as well as privately-owned facilities, companies, and associations. The Conference featured challenge speakers, expert panels, technical sessions, exhibits, and a workshop addressing considerations in designing a national cooperative MTS research program. The proceedings also includes the 75 formal topic statements, and addresses of participants. The purpose of the Conference was to: discuss and assess the research and technology needs for improved MTS management and operation; encourage and facilitate coordination among federal and state agencies, industry, academia, and the maritime community in R&D to improve U.S. marine transportation and management and the operation of U.S. waterways, ports and their intermodal connections; discuss the establishment of a national cooperative research program for the MTS; and discuss the state of the art in technology and techniques for navigating and managing the nation's coastal and inland waterways, ports and intermodal connections.
