Accession Number: 00939829
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The Military Traffic Management Command Transportation Engineering Agency, the U.S. Department of Defense agency primarily responsible for meeting the military's transportation and deployment needs, developed the concept for a system to report military road and rail status, incorporating real-time information and accessibility via the World Wide Web. This concept became the Intelligent Road-Rail Information Server (IRRIS) which enables military logistics staff to log on to a single website--any time, anywhere, and with any device--for real-time, interactive information about road and weather conditions, to determine the most efficient routes for troops and materials. This article describes in detail this state-of-the-art information technology system.
