U.S. Department of Energy Announces $9 Million to Projects Modeling Optimal Deployment for Low-Carbon Intermodal Freight Transportation System. Six Projects Exploring Infrastructure and Logistics for Moving Goods Across Maritime, Rail, & Road Transportation were selected.
“University of Tennessee, Knoxville (Knoxville, TN) will develop a cognitive digital twin for the U.S. intermodal freight transportation system. This digital representation could offer flow planning, scheduling, and optimization of the entire intermodal freight system within 24 hours. Additionally, the proposed technology could adapt quickly to traffic, weather, and other disruptions by supplying local route rescheduling within one hour. (Award amount: $1,900,000)“
