METRIS

is a suite of advanced GPS/GIS technologies to streamline metropolitan transport. Vehicles report location and other parameters in real time. Fusing data from multiple sensors and sources, METRIS generates synoptic performance measures, real-time and longitudinal... Initial deployment of METRIS in Los Angeles, and research on transport modeling components for port congestion mitigation, were funded by the Research and Innovative Technology Administration (U.S. Department of Transportation) in partnership with the University of California, Santa Barbara and others... PORT congestion is a growing concern worldwide, as yesterday's infrastructure struggles to cope with tomorrow's freight volumes. Decision makers need a dashboard of timely performance measures, to illuminate complex policy issues such as longshore labor hours, congestion-pricing and air quality.
