Freight Route Management Application for the Port of Anchorage

The objective of this research is to develop and evaluate an intelligent transportation management application for improving the efficiency, safety, reliability, and cost-effectiveness of freight and fuel truck movement to/from the Port of Alaska located in Anchorage, Alaska. This is a partnership project between the City of Anchorage’s Port of Alaska and Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF). Truck transportation network located at the port will be able to better route and stage cargo transport within the Port of Alaska footprint. The application could be used outside the port by truck drivers, Alaska 511, and traffic operations centers.
