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
