Motor Carrier Technologies: Fleet Operational Impacts and Implications for211 Intelligent Transportation Systems/ Commercial Vehicle Operations

摘要

This report documents the findings of a three-year research effort, led by the211u001eATA Foundation to expore what information technologies are used by motor carriers 211u001eand assess their impact on differing types of fleet operations; examine how these 211u001efleet technologies can enable participation in Intelligent Transportation 211u001eSystems/Commercial Vehicle Operations (ITS/CVO) services; examine how motor 211u001ecarriers perceive the value of ITS/CVO services; and, estimate potential motor 211u001ecarrier participation in Intelligent Transportation Systems/Commercial Vehicle 211u001eOperations (ITS/CVO) services. Findings are documented for: (1)the specific 211u001etechnologies that are being most widely adopted by motor carriers to enhance 211u001eoperational efficiencies; (2) estimated motor carrier benefit/cost ratios for 211u001efleet technologies; and, (3)potential motor carrier participation in ITS/CVO 211u001eservices.
