A new ACEEE white paper shows how freight operators can use information and communications technology (ICT) to improve speed, reliability, and security while achieving large energy savings. ICT could help shippers save energy “by improving the efficiency of freight vehicle operation, making better use of the freight network, and reducing ton-miles traveled without compromising business objectives,” ACEEE reports. “ ICT brings the potential for effectively unlimited data collection, greatly enhanced predictive capabilities, and real-time, dynamic decision-making and implementation. Together, these new capabilities could lead to a dramatically more efficient freight system, based on completely visible and accessible physical and digital networks.”
