- "Freight System Resiliency"
Freight system resiliency is the ability of the freight system to adapt to changing conditions and withstand and rapidly recover from disruption due to emergencies. A resilient freight transportation system is responsive and able to provide reliable services when it encounters small disruptions and return to service quickly after large disruptions.

Summary:
As congestion increases, transportation agencies are seeking regional travel time data to determine exactly when, how, and where congestion affects freight mobility. Concurrently, a number of regional intelligent transportation systems (ITS) are incorporating various technologies to improve transportation system efficiency. This research explored the ability of these ITS devices to be used as tools for developing useful historical, and perhaps real-time, traffic flow information.
