Abstract:

Performance of the freight transportation system is important to shippers and carriers, planners and policy-makers, as well as the general public because it affects the efficiency and costs of goods and services, and thus the general performance of the economy. Freight performance measures guide decisions about operations, investments, policies, and regulations. During the past decade, interest has grown in measuring freight performance, including multimodal supply chains that move products from production to consumption to disposal. This workshop highlights recent developments in multimodal freight performance measurement, from developments in the United States to advances in North America and Europe. The workshop explored emerging tracking and measurement technologies, including blockchain, and examples of multisector data sharing to capture multimodal freight performance. This report summarizes the proceedings from the conference, including introductions, panel discussions, and concluding remarks.
