whitepaper Advancing Highways With Communication Solutions: Cost-Effective Ways to Address Growing Demands on Highway Infrastructure2009-06-10 Alcatel-Lucent
  Highway authorities worldwide are facing rapid growth in the number of passenger vehicles, combined with constraints on budgets and available space for new roads. To leverage available resources, transportation agencies are turning to Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), which use data networks to streamline highway operations. These applications offer an array of benefits, including reduced traffic congestion, better services at lower cost and decreased emissions. But successful deployment of ITS requires the right communication solution - selected to meet specific needs for reliability, scalability, interoperability with existing systems and easy management. As an experienced partner in ITS deployments, Alcatel-Lucent offers an overview of key issues to consider when implementing a communications network for ITS applications - along with case studies illustrating their financial benefits.

whitepaper Unpredictable Production Cycles Posed Logistics Challenges for a Leading Manufacturer - A Comprehensive Solution That Improved Its Transportation Flexibility and Lowered Its Costs Was the Answer2009-02-10
  One leading manufacturer produces some of the most environmentally friendly paper in the world, a product that's seen rapid (yet unpredictable) changes in customer demand. When its existing transportation providers struggled to deliver more than 250,000 metric tons of the material each year to customers, it turned to Exel Transportation for new ideas. The result was a custom solution that gave the company far greater flexibility, control and substantially lowered overall transportation costs.

whitepaper The Future of Professional Two-Way Radio: Digital2009-01-14 Motorola
  This white paper gives an overview of two-way digital technology and the advantages it offers to mobile professionals in industries such as transportation, education, building construction and manufacturing, energy and utilities, private security, public safety and local government, and service-intensive businesses such as hotels, motels and casinos. It explores unique needs of these mobile workers, and discusses the ways that digital technology serves these needs in ways that analog radio can't. And it will describe how Motorola is leading the establishment of standards, technologies and solutions for the new, digital generation of two-way radio and wireless computing.

whitepaper Security Challenges and Solutions for the Transportation and Freight Industry2008-12-01 D-Link
  The transportation and freight industry is a critical part of any country's economy, but the movement and storage of supplies and merchandise also poses huge security challenges. IP surveillance systems play an ever-increasing role in the security of distribution centers, truck stops, container parks and warehouses. Transporting goods from one location to the other provides many opportunities for theft, fraud, injury, and inefficient business practices. Today's improved IP video surveillance systems operate 24-hours every day to prevent crimes and inefficiencies that eat into profits. This paper will discuss the unique challenges faced by the transportation industry, the benefits of IP surveillance systems versus analog surveillance systems, and how D-Link is providing sensible solutions that meet any challenge.

whitepaper Transportation Incident Management: Using 3D Virtual Worlds to Train First Responders2008-04-02
  The I-95 Corridor Coalition, representing agencies at all levels of government in the 15 states through which I-95 passes, recognized the need to develop "Best practices" for first responders to traffic incidents to reduce response time, clear accidents and congestion efficiently, and enhance safety and performance for everyone involved. Through a Steering Committee of police, fire, EMT, towing recovery, and transportation officials, the Coalition appropriated $1.4 million dollars for the development of the Virtual Incident Management Training System, and chose the Center for Advanced Transportation Technology Laboratory (CATT LAB) at the University of Maryland to develop the virtual reality tools necessary to move forward with this initiative. The company deployed Forterra Systems' OLIVE (On-Line Interactive Virtual Environment) platform.

whitepaper Distributing the Cost of Securing a Transportation Infrastructure2008-01-01
  This paper addresses the problem of fairly distributing the cost of system-wide improvements to the security of a transportation infrastructure over the beneficiaries. The paper presents a framework that models transportation links and the emergence (magnitude and frequency) and propagation of threats. The cost-distribution is based on a weighted sum that characterizes the expected reduction in the vulnerability of a site as a result of the security improvements.

whitepaper Assessing Container Security: A Framework for Measuring Performance of the Global Supply Chain2005-02-01 RAND
  Since 9/11, several programs have been implemented to improve security of the global supply chain. In reviewing these programs, this paper concludes that supply chain efficiency and security are distinct but interconnected and recommends considering all aspects of supply-chain performance when assessing security measures. Also, programs to improve supply-chain security have focused largely on preventing and deterring terrorist attacks, with little focus on improving the supply chain's fault tolerance or resilience.

whitepaper A Framework for Sustainable Port Security2004-12-21 George Washington University
  As the United States attempts to improve the security of the homeland, the thousands of vessels, millions of containers, and millions of passengers entering the country each year have been identified as major sources of vulnerability. This paper is based on the premise that a port is best analyzed as a complex system consisting of a set of loosely coupled economic systems. The paper demonstrates that by using a risk management approach sets of potentially effective security interventions that intervene at all points in the event chain can be identified.
