METRIS^SM is a suite of GPS and GIS technologies designed to streamline metropolitan transportation. Vehicles report location and other parameters in real time. Fusing data from multiple sensors, the system generates a variety of synoptic information products, real-time and longitudinal.

Our initial focus is on port cities, particularly Los Angeles and Long Beach. METRIS promises a future in which policy and operational decisions are based on reliable information and verifiable forecasts, providing solutions that are financially sound, logistically efficient, environmentally beneficial, and equitable to communities as well as commercial stakeholders.

Modeling components for freight congestion mitigation, and deployment in Los Angeles, were funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation—Research and Innovative Technology Administration, with the University of California, Santa Barbara and others.

We welcome opportunities to broaden the circle of partners researching, developing and supporting METRIS.
