Abstract:
The maintenance of port infrastructures presents difficulties due to their location: an aggressive environment or the variability of the waves can cause progressive deterioration. Maritime conditions make inspections difficult and, added to the lack of use of efficient tools for the management of assets, planning maintenance, important to ensure operability throughout the life cycle of port infrastructures, is generally not a priority. In view of these challenges, this research proposes a methodology for the creation of a port infrastructure asset management tool, generated based on the Design Science Research Method (DSRM), in line with Building Information Modeling (BIM) and digitization trends in the infrastructure sector. The proposal provides workflows and recommendations for the survey of port infrastructures from UAVs, the reconstruction of digital models by photogrammetry (due to scarce technical documentation), and the reconstruction of BIM models. Along with this, the bidirectional linking of traditional asset management spreadsheets with BIM models is proposed, by visual programming, allowing easy visualization of the status and maintenance requirements. This methodology was applied to a port infrastructure, where the methodology demonstrated the correct functionality of the asset management tool, which allows a constant up-dating of information regarding the structural state of the elements and the necessary maintenance activities.

Abstract:
Regarding the organisation of the railway in Croatian ports, the institutional framework on which the railway within the port operates is relatively uncertain with potential conflicts of the national and EU legislation as well as diversities in practical approaches from the governing institutions towards empirical solutions on the field. This paper develops possible models for organisation of the management of rail transport services within the port area in order to research governance mechanism and provide standards of quality of railway operations, which are in accordance with the existing legal framework and on best practice solutions. This models are developed in order to enable several main principles important for port operations and business development such as transparency of the access conditions and service prices, single entry point, services in the rail terminal fully coordinated with the capacity allocation, performance scheme as part of the infrastructure charging system, performance targets in the form of indicators, access to topical reports on the service quality of the service in the port terminal, and implementation of the use-it-or leave-it rule.

Abstract:
This work represents a paradigm shift in the approach to manage port infrastructure maintenance where the use of the building information modeling (BIM) method is very scarce, and it is now beginning. The new infrastructure conservation management method proposed in this manuscript combines traditional methods with new technology, covering the gap of the implementation of BIM in port maintenance. This new technology is the BIM method, and its use is already mandatory in public infrastructure projects in some countries. In this work, the BIM method is applied to the management of the conservation of port infrastructures to show the benefits that can be obtained using it. After the analysis of the state of the art in the conservation of port infrastructures, two of the main maritime works of the Outer Port of A Coruña were modeled in Revit. This as-built model serves as an inventory model and forms a large database of all the information regarding the conservation of the structures. In this way, all the data on the conservation of the port’s infrastructures are concentrated in a single source of information in which, in addition, there is a three-dimensional and georeferenced representation of the port in question. The main finding of this work is the development of a step by step method to implement BIM philosophy in port maintenance, highlighting the positive and negative points detected during the validation of the method in a real case, detecting future improvement research lines. Although BIM has a lot of advantages and possibilities just now, some improvements are still necessary.

Abstract:
The article emphasizes that very often the main benefits from port projects come from the wider community and the economy, rather than the port industry itself. This is especially true when ports invest in basic infrastructure to provide opportunities for future growth. In addition, a number of investment requirements have joined the ports' requirements to invest in basic infrastructure, as a result of broader societal imperatives, especially in the areas of environmental and energy policy. Ports, in addition to nodes of transport networks, are also sites for a number of activities that may require certain facilities. Based on this broad definition, it is possible to name different types of port infrastructure. There are twelve types of investment in infrastructure. Investments can relate to the construction of new infrastructure, as well as the modernization or reconstruction of existing infrastructure. In general, investments in maritime access benefit all port users, rather than specific segments and specific terminals in the port. Infrastructure investments are needed by seaports to increase their efficiency, address the growing and changing needs of production and supply chains, and adapt to the requirements of sustainable transport in terms of air quality, climate change and biodiversity. Increasing the size and complexity of the fleet. Growth of processing volumes in ports. Long-term transition to decarbonisation of the economy by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing energy efficiency and absorbing low-emission energy sources. Stricter requirements for environmental performance and absorption of alternative fuels. Pressure to increase the modal distribution of more sustainable modes of transport. Pressure towards urbanization of coastal areas, especially in densely populated areas. Strong digitization of almost all parts of the economy, including manufacturing, logistics and transport. Port management models and responsibility for infrastructure investments. Generalized trends lead to investment needs in port infrastructure. Decisions on these investments are made by various entities. This depends on the current model of port management, which differs significantly from one Member State to another. Investments in viable port infrastructure are those that are expected to be of great value (to the benefit of both consumers and society as a whole) in terms of their costs. However, not all viable investments bring the necessary financial return on investment to make them commercially attractive based on the commercial situation. Ports are strategic assets and are defined as "critical infrastructure"). The geopolitical dimension of port development reinforces the argument for public funding mechanisms, as the lack of such mechanisms will accelerate the participation of foreigners in the development of critical port infrastructure. It is necessary to form a platform with mechanisms for providing final support for port development and certain investments.

Abstract:
A research project continuing at RMIT University is exploring the resilience of port structures in a changing climate. Research completed to date comprises of identifying types of port infrastructure vulnerable to climate change, establishing materials and exposure conditions, developing deterioration models based on current knowledge to simulate the effect of climate change on key port infrastructure and modeling the selected elements of infrastructure to derive outcomes which will aid in decision making in port infrastructure management. A considerable effort has been concentrated on identifying input climate data most appropriate for the models developed. The modeling approach is presented in this paper for quantitative projections of damage probability on port infrastructure taking into account the variability of material type, design considerations and environmental exposures with a changing climate. This paper provides a summary of the research undertaken in the development of material deterioration models and their responses to a changing climate load. Using climate information drawn from historical weather records and future climate projections, existing deterioration models were refined to include climate data into modeling runs in order to analyse changes to deterioration rates of different materials when impacted by a change in climate variables. Outputs from this modeling process will assist port authorities in making informed decisions on maintenance and capital budget planning allowing for impacts of climate change.

Abstract:
Reliable transportation services can be achieved by optimizing the utilization of transportation facilities and infrastructure as well as operational aspects. Limited resources in management is a challenge that can be overcome with several strategies, one of which is through the cooperation of the parties. This study aims to analyze the strategy for implementing the Covid-19 control policy in the management of the Ulee Lheue port in Banda Aceh. This research is survey research with a qualitative approach, using SWOT. The sample in this study amounted to 15 respondents. The results of this study indicate that the SWOT analysis at the Ulee Lheue ferry port obtained strength in infrastructure, land resources, and departure information. In terms of opportunities, it is found that the rate of population growth, routes to Sabang, the tourism sector and markets are not limited. For threats, namely the pandemic problem that has not ended, so that business activities related to ports may be reduced. There are many obstacles that check point officers face when carrying out checks at the border. Catching people entering Aceh's Ulee Lheu Port requires a different strategy. Inspection needs to adjust to the availability of check point infrastructure, personnel, and traffic conditions in the area itself. Sea/Port transportation controls are carried out to reduce interactions, travel restrictions, and gathering of people in crowded places because the most worrying means of spreading the virus are transportation, especially public transport. Based on the results of this study, the authors suggest to the Management of the Ulee Lheue port in Banda Aceh to be able to improve the physical/infrastructure improvements on a regular basis by utilizing the initial investment and also annual cash inflow from the pattern of business cooperation with other parties, if the budget is against the Detailed Engineering Design (DED) that is it is not yet certain when it will be implemented.

Full text
Abstract:
This research proposes a risk management framework and develops generic risk-based decision-making, and risk-assessment models for dealing with potential Hazard Events (HEs) and risks associated with uncertainty for Operational Safety Performance (OSP) in container terminals and maritime ports. Three main sections are formulated in this study: Section 1: Risk Assessment, in the first phase, all HEs are identified through a literature review and human knowledge base and expertise. In the second phase, a Fuzzy Rule Base (FRB) is developed using the proportion method to assess the most significant HEs identified. The FRB leads to the development of a generic risk-based model incorporating the FRB and a Bayesian Network (BN) into a Fuzzy Rule Base Bayesian Network (FRBN) method using Hugin software to evaluate each HE individually and prioritise their specific risk estimations locally. The third phase demonstrated the FRBN method with a case study. The fourth phase concludes this section with a developed generic risk-based model incorporating FRBN and Evidential Reasoning to form an FRBER method using the Intelligence Decision System (IDS) software to evaluate all HEs aggregated collectively for their Risk Influence (RI) globally with a case study demonstration. In addition, a new sensitivity analysis method is developed to rank the HEs based on their True Risk Influence (TRI) considering their specific risk estimations locally and their RI globally. Section 2: Risk Models Simulations, the first phase explains the construction of the simulation model Bayesian Network Artificial Neural Networks (BNANNs), which is formed by applying Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). In the second phase, the simulation model Evidential Reasoning Artificial Neural Networks (ERANNs) is constructed. The final phase in this section integrates the BNANNs and ERANNs that can predict the risk magnitude for HEs and provide a panoramic view on the risk inference in both perspectives, locally and globally. Section 3: Risk Control Options is the last link that finalises the risk management based methodology cycle in this study. The Analytical Hierarchal Process (AHP) method was used for determining the relative weights of all criteria identified in the first phase. The last phase develops a risk control options method by incorporating Fuzzy Logic (FL) and the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) to form an FTOPSIS method. The novelty of this research provides an effective risk management framework for OSP in container terminals and maritime ports. In addition, it provides an efficient safety prediction tool that can ease all the processes in the methods and techniques used with the risk management framework by applying the ANN concept to simulate the risk models.

Abstract:
El trabajo de investigación desarrollado a continuación tiene como finalidad evidenciar que la implementación de los estándares y buenas prácticas recomendadas en la guía del PMBOK® 6ª edición, aplicando el enfoque del PMI, resulta útil para la implementación de obras marinas, como en el caso del Astillero Naval del Callao, generando un precedente en la bibliografía a consultar para el desarrollo de futuras obras de este tipo. A partir de la 6ª edición, el director de proyecto asume nuevos roles, y se convierte en el nexo entre la organización y el proyecto, para maximizar el aprovechamiento del beneficio que el proyecto genere para la organización. Este trabajo pretende ilustrar como en el caso de la dirección de proyectos de obras marinas se aplica este nuevo enfoque, identificando los beneficios que la organización desea obtener del proyecto y describiendo las características que el director de proyecto debe tener en cuenta para cumplir este nuevo rol. En este trabajo se evidencia, entre otras cosas, la importancia de convocar y seleccionar proveedores especializados en obras acuáticas, así como contar con una supervisión especializada. Este proyecto que se suma a la infraestructura portuaria del país, y su ejecución se convierte en referente para nuevos proyectos como el caso del Puerto San Martín o el Terminal Portuario Salaverry, los cuales se desarrollarán en los próximos años y requerirán no solamente de personal calificado, sino además de toda la información registrada de obras anteriores que puedan servir de base de lecciones aprendidas a futuro para una ejecución eficiente.
The research work developed below has as purpose prove that the implementation of the standards and good practices recommended in the PMBOK® Guide 6th edition, applying the PMI approach, is useful for implementation of navy projects, as in the case of the Callao Shipyard Naval, generating a precedent in the bibliography to consult for the development of future projects of this type. Since the 6th edition, the project manager assumes new roles and becomes the nexus between the organization and the project, to maximize the use of the benefit that the project generates for the organization. This work aims to illustrate how this new approach is applied in the case of project management in navy projects, identifying the benefits than organization wishes to obtain from the project and describing the characteristics that the project manager must take into account in order to fulfill this new role. This paper demonstrates, among other things, the importance of calling and selecting specialized suppliers in waterworks, as well as having specialized supervision. This project that is added to the port infrastructure of the country, and its execution becomes a reference for new projects such as the case of Puerto San Martín or the Salaverry Port Terminal, which will be developed in the coming years and will require not only qualified personnel, but also all the registered information of previous works that can serve as a base of lessons learned in the future for an efficient execution.

Abstract:
As cidades brasileiras enfrentam graves problemas na construção e manutenção de suas infraestruturas, que comprometem a qualidade de vida da população. Geralmente, como é o caso das obras viárias e, mais particularmente, dos pavimentos, tratam-se de obras e serviços que necessitam de investimentos vultosos e que deveriam, portanto, ser corretamente dimensionadas, executadas e mantidas ao longo da vida em serviço. Este trabalho trata dos Sistemas de Gerência de Pavimentos Urbanos (SGPU), relatando experiência de implantação em uma cidade de médio porte (Anápolis-GO), apresentando todas as etapas e fases de implantação, as barreiras institucionais que tiveram de ser vencidas, o entrelaçamento entre as áreas técnica, jurídica, administrativa, ambiental e política, os resultados e benefícios obtidos com a implantação do SGPU e as principais funções e utilidades, que incluem não só a otimização do planejamento das atividades de manutenção e reabilitação dos pavimentos, mas, também, o auxílio à prefeitura municipal na busca de recursos junto ao Governo Federal ou a outros órgãos de financiamento. Os resultados obtidos com a implantação do SGPU-Anápolis foram positivos, podendo-se destacar o auxílio em processo licitatório para contratação de obras de manutenção preventiva, sendo que, anteriormente, as opções se restringiam tão somente aos tapa-buracos e recapeamentos sem dimensionamento estrutural, o estímulo ao desenvolvimento da área de pavimentação junto aos cursos de Engenharia Civil existentes na cidade, com contratação de estagiários para atuação em todas as etapas, incentivo à implantação de uma gerência de infraestrutura urbana, com a compatibilização de todos os setores que se utilizam do sistema viário (transporte público, água, esgoto, drenagem, iluminação pública, telefonia, gás, energia elétrica, meio-fio, sarjetas, calçadas etc.), preparação de equipe para utilização de uma base comum de dados georreferenciados para a gerência da infraestrutura urbana, inclusive com contratação de estagiários de arquitetura de cursos existentes na cidade e região, formação e aperfeiçoamento técnico dos gestores públicos e tomadores de decisão em geral e, finalmente, desenvolvimento de um exemplo de processo sinérgico envolvendo a universidade, a iniciativa privada e a administração pública.
Brazilian cities face serious problems in the construction and maintenance of its infrastructure, which affect the quality of life. Generally, as in the case of road works and, more particularly, the pavements, these are works and services that require huge investments and should therefore be properly designed, built and maintained throughout the service life. This work deals with the Urban Pavements Management Systems, reporting deployment experience in a medium-sized city (Anapolis-GO), showing all the stages and phases of implementation, institutional barriers that had to be overcome, the entanglement between areas (technical, legal, administrative, environmental and political), the results and benefits obtained with the implementation and the main functions and utilities, which include not only the optimal planning of pavement maintenance and rehabilitation activities, but also aid to the municipal government in seeking funds from the federal government or other funding agencies. The results obtained three years after the implementation of SGPU-Anapolis are very positive, and it can be highlight the aid in the bidding process for preventive maintenance works, since the previous options were limited solely to patching and underdesigned overlays, stimulating the development of the paving area along the courses of Civil Engineering in the city, with hiring interns to work in all stages, encouraging the establishment of a management of urban infrastructures, with the compatibility of all sectors that use the roadway system (public transportation, water, sewage, drainage, street lighting, telephone, gas, electric, curbs, gutters, sidewalks etc.), preparation of staff for the use of a common set of georeferenced data for management of urban infrastructure, including hiring interns of architecture courses in the city and nearby town, training and technical improvement of public managers and decision makers in general, and finally, development of an example of synergistic process involving the university , the private sector and public administration.

This thesis discusses the different components required to build and design a prototype for the Intelligent Parking Management (IPM) infrastructure. Different aspects of the hardware and software components used to build the prototype is also discussed in the thesis along with discussion of business and marketing strategies for the viability of the solution for commercial use. A prototype solution was built using hardware and software components. The prototype was tested for real-time parking meter availability information for both general web customers and smart device users such as PDA with wireless access and Smart Phone mobile devices using 3G technologies. The tests were conducted in a controlled environment with simulation data for real parking meters. The IPM prototype solution infrastructure built was able to provide real-time parking information. The information was accessible via the Internet through standard browsers and 3G enable Smart Phones. The integration between the hardware and software components and the IPM infrastructure design prototype was enabled through various technologies such as Microsoft .NET platform, Microsoft SQL Server 2000, Microsoft Mobile Internet toolkit, DTS, ASP.NET and ADO.NET. The thesis discusses these technologies and their interconnectivity within the IPM infrastructure.

Abstract:
Concerning management of smoke following an accidental fire within a building it is desirable to be able to estimate, within some understood, acceptable magnitude of error, the volume of smoke resulting from the combustion process of a predefined design fire scenario. Traditionally a range of first principle-based and empirically derived correlations are used to estimate the mass flow of smoke at a height of interest within the fire plume and are based upon the understanding that the mass flow of smoke at that height is a function only of the gravitational vector within the fire system, that is to say, that induced by the pressure differential between the naturally occurring hot plume gases and the surrounding quiescent bulk fluid. The statement that the fire plume is surrounded by a quiescent bulk fluid is in itself a significant simplification and is a key assumption required to facilitate the relative simplicity of the Froude-based entrainment correlations. It is of course quite intuitive to imagine that in real accidental fire scenarios in the built environment and across an array modern infrastructure, rarely does a fire exist submerged in a passive, quiescent atmosphere. This disconnect between the natural mechanics of the buoyant fire mechanism and the surrounding fluid in which it exists was necessary when the problem of entrainment by the fire plume was first described in the mainstream engineering literature around the middle of the twentieth century. Some 25 years later as ideal entrainment mechanics were beginning to be discussed specifically for application by a field of engineering in its infancy, a few researchers in the field of fire safety engineering published data that suggested that the addition of a relatively weak cross flow to the fire plume could have a significant impact upon the rate of air entrained by the plume, and by extension, the resultant smoke mass flow rate. The data published appeared more as a brief comment on an observation made during testing. It would be easily missed, nuzzled away in the middle of a lengthy doctoral thesis. Said thesis however happens to be one of the primary pieces of work that may be cited in reference to the formulation of perhaps the best known form of the axis-symmetric fire plume entrainment correlation, that of the so-called Zukoski correlation. It is perhaps curious then that the mention of a 3-fold increase in entrainment measurements following “small disturbances” in the atmosphere during the experimental work has seemingly been ignored by researchers, probably never-learned by students, and apparently forgotten by an industry. In a fire situation smoke can limit way-finding ability, severely irritate critical soft tissue like the eyes, trachea and oesophagus, impair cognitive function, contribute to significant property damage, facilitate the transfer of heat and carcinogens to locations remote to the fire source and it is well understood that most deaths due to fire are caused by asphyxiation following smoke inhalation. Significant portions of project budgets may be spent on designing, validating, installing and maintaining smoke management systems including the use of active systems such as extraction and pressurisation, passive curtains/reservoirs and detection such aspirating, video and beam detectors. Turbulent atmospheres may arise in any manner of situations such as modern buildings with large open spaces (airports, museums), hotel foyers and those with atriums spanning many floors, hangars and storage facilities/warehouses. Strong winds are normal on offshore oil platforms, outside the window on most floors of super-tall buildings or quite simply, anywhere on a blustery day. In specific cases the extraction systems designed to remove smoke and even normal HVAC systems can cause substantial air flow over large areas. In fact, a simple compartment with an uneven distribution of ventilation points (windows/doorways) has been shown to result in a directional fire flow that results in a significantly tilted flame, essentially inducing a cross flow scenario using the natural fire alone. With the coming-of-age of computational fluid dynamics models which are now a standard tool in all commercial fire engineering design offices, and probably in every smoke modelling report, it might be argued that there is little need to revisit the hand calculations from the ground up. Accepting, however, that a cross flow may increase the rate of entrainment of a fire plume and that this challenges the fundamental principles that all previous entrainment correlation knowledge is based on, and demonstrating the outcome (in terms of plume mass flow rate) with the use of a computational model, is an entirely different thing to understanding why this happens. Smoke management is one of the core design criteria, or questions at least, in practically all fire engineering design projects. In the literature there appears to be; no work quantitatively investigating cross flow fire plume entrainment rates; no work qualitatively describing the behaviour of the flame / fire plume under the influence of a cross flow (with respect to entrainment); and certainly no work framing this paradigm in the theoretical or practical context of the impact upon modern smoke control systems. This work aims to venture into these areas in the hope of beginning to piece together the overarching story of entrainment in the cross flow fire plume. The fundamental paradigm here is the addition of cross flow inertia (a horizontal pressure differential) to the axis-symmetric case where buoyancy (a zero initial momentum, vertical pressure differential) is the sole driver of the fluid flow system. How these flows then interact in a mixed convection sequence is investigated and described in terms that are useful for practical consideration by fire safety engineers. It is hoped that the concepts postulated and the questions raised will inspire further investigation into this poorly understood, but fundamental fire safety problem.

Abstract:
The monograph presents an approach to solving the problem of increasing the throughput and processing capacity of seaports in conditions of limiting their territorial dislocation and increasing the unevenness of external and internal cargo flows. The basis of the approach is the proposed system of the main parameters of the dry port and the methodology of simulation modeling of the functioning of the system "seaport - dry port". The material is illustrated with examples of the implementation of the developed approach, including model scenarios of multi-agent optimization of the parameters of the system under study. The proposed approach and the developed methodology can be used to justify management decisions on the balanced development of transport and logistics infrastructure of the regions hosting sea and dry ports. It is intended for specialists of transport and logistics companies, engineering and technical workers engaged in solving problems in the field of logistics, supply chain management and transport infrastructure design. In addition, it is recommended to students in the following programs: postgraduate studies 23.06.01 "Land transport engineering and technology" (focus "Transport and transport-technological systems of the country, its regions and cities, organization of production in transport") and 27.06.01 "Management in technical systems" (focus "Management of transportation processes"); master's degree 23.04.01 "Technology of transport processes" (profile "Organization of transportation and management in a single transport system"); bachelor's degree 38.03.02 "Management" (profile "Logistics") and 23.03.01 "Technology of transport processes".

Abstract:
AbstractThe exponential growth of interconnected IoT devices, highlights the infrastructure limitations of Cloud-based computing approaches. In this context, novel solutions (i.e., Fog and Edge computing) aim to exploit a continuum resource space composed of nearby and mobile devices as a single heterogeneous and distributed system to move part of the computation closer to data sources. In this regard, the heterogeneous nature of these devices (performance, features, capabilities...) requires proper programming models and run-time management layers. This chapter proposes an overview of recent modeling premises and quantitative results in a resource management perspective through the BarMan framework, which combines a task-based programming model, a run-time resource manager, and the BeeR task distribution software to deploy use-case applications-modules across the boards of a real Fog cluster.

Abstract:
This paper presents a case study focused on the Brajdica railway tunnel, which carries the Zagreb-Rijeka railway line into the port of Rijeka in Croatia and thus represents a critical node on the European TEN-T network. The tunnel is undergoing a major reconstruction project to increase its capacity. As part of this work an extensive embedded monitoring system comprising inclinometers, extensometers, micrometers and survey markers were installed to monitor the tunnel response. This data is supplemented with periodical laser scanning of the tunnel interior. Measurement profiles are set along the tunnel bore and the data collected is used for the development of a tunnel performance model. Long-term monitoring data from a neighbouring road tunnel was used to develop models tho predict the long-term response of the Karst bedrock in the area. Combining these models with the settlements measured during the construction phase of the works at Brajdica railway tunnel allow prediction of settlements and the future occurrence of damage in the rail tunnel. Based on different limit states, life cycle management scenarios are developed and used for maintenance planning, with the aim to decrease short and long-term risks. This work has been performed within European H2020 SAFE-10-T project.

Abstract:
Forecasting of future intermodal traffic demand is very important for decision making in ports operations management. The use of accurate prediction tools is an issue that awakens a lot of interest among transport researchers. Intermodal freight forecasting plays an important role in ports management and in the planning of the principal port activities. Hence, the study is carried out under the motivation of knowing that modeling the freight transport flows could facilitate the management of the infrastructure and optimize the resources of the ports facilities. The use of advanced models for freight forecasting is essential to improve the port level-service and competitiveness. In this paper, two forecasting-models are presented and compared to predict the freight volume. The models developed and tested are based on Artificial Neural Networks and Support Vector Machines. Both techniques are based in a historical data and these methods forecast the daily weight of the freight with one week in advance. The performance of the models is evaluated on real data from Ro-Ro freight transport in the Port of Algeciras Bay. This work proposes and compares different approaches to determine the best prediction. In order to select the best model a multicomparison procedure is developed using several statistical test. The results of the assessed models show a promising tool to predict Ro-Ro transport flows with accuracy.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/CIT2016.2016.3464

Achieving Excellence for California’s Freight System: Developing Competitiveness and Performance Metrics; Incorporating Sustainability, Resilience, and Workforce Development.

Abstract:
This study explores the question of whether California's freight system is staying competitive with other US regions. A novel analytical framework compares supply chain performance metrics across multiple US states and regions for seaports, airports, highways, freight rail service, and distribution centers by combining the Performance Evaluation Matrix (PEM), Competitive Position Matrix (CPM), and Business Process Management (BPM) approaches. Analysis of industry data and responses from structured interviews with 30 freight industry experts across 5 transportation sectors suggests that California's freight system is competitive for seaports, airports, and freight rail; however, highways and distribution centers have room for improvement with respect to travel time reliability and operation costs, and California should prioritize infrastructure investments here. To stay competitive with the Texas and North East regions, state investments could also expand seaport container terminals and air cargo handling facilities, improve intermodal port connections and management of flows of chassis, container trucks, empty containers to ameliorate cargo backlogs and congestion on highways, at the ports, and at warehouses. The state could also invest in inland ports, transporting goods by rail directly from seaports to the Inland Empire or Central Valley.
