MeTriS: Metropolitan Transportation Information System Applying Space Based Technologies for Freight Congestion Mitigation

MeTriS envisages extensive tracking of freight assets in a metropolitan area using global positioning system (GPS) and Vehicle-Infrastructure Integration (VII) technologies, Vehicles report their location and container contents in real time. Sensors in static infrastructure simultaneously report conditions such as bridge ice or fog. The data stream from these sensors enables a variety of synoptic information product, both real time and longitudinal.
