To develop and deploy an information

sharing / transfer capability that enables

the coordination of moves between parties

to Maximize loaded moves and

Minimize unproductive moves.

COMPONENTS:

Intermodal Exchange (IMEX)

Chassis Utilization Tracking (CUT)

Wireless Drayage Updating (WDU)

Real Time Traffic Monitoring (RTTM)

Dynamic Route Guidance (DGR)

FUNCTIONS:

IMEX: Collaborative dispatch via an online exchange

CUT: Transparent view of available chassis inventory

WDU: Wireless exchange of shipment info between drivers and dispatchers

RTTM: Definition of O-D pairs, route travel times, and traffic information

DRG: Dynamic routing via travel time algorithm using available data to predict travel time

C-TIP Goal

Railroad Functions

• View daily inbound and outbound cross towns• View optimal plan for the day to move

containers and chassis between terminals • Assign container to drayage carrier

Trip Assignments
