- “METRIS: Metropolitan Transportation Information System:
Applying Space Based Technologies for Freight Congestion Mitigation.”
USDOT Final Report, 2010.
This was the first deployment of METRIS, in the Los Angeles
basin, in 2007-2010. In addition to data analyses, the report presents
two optimization models. One proposes the establishment of Empty
Storage Yards (ESYs) to reduce the transport of empty containers,
projecting savings of 50 tons of CO2 per day. The other
measures the benefits of synchronization between terminal operations
and arriving trucks.
