1 Marine Highway System A Multimodal Short Sea Freight Shipping System Surface Congestion Reduction Analysis & Modeling (SCRAM) Team: Karen Davis Greg Haubner James Hingst Bill Judge Chris Zalewski Think. Learn. Succeed.

2 Background GDP has grown exponentially in recent years, largely as a result of international trade Places huge burden on domestic transportation systems to keep up Expected volume of trucks on Interstate Highway System is expected to double between now and 2035 Trucks account for 40% of the time Americans spend in traffic Additionally, in 2007, 60% of federal highway funding went towards maintenance, vice new construction The solution? DOT established a framework to provide federal support to expand the use of America s Marine Highways Limited Highway Capacity + Road Maintenance Costs + Traffic Congestion = Marine Highways

3 Port-Related Distribution Facilities in VA The GMU Consortium team is tasked with analyzing feasibility of implementing Marine Highway Systems along the I-95 corridor The potential of applying MHS system in waterways from the commonwealth of Virginia ports is shown to illustrate the approach the GMU consortia will take to examine and select appropriate waterway for MHS implementation CSC/AMC MODELING & SIMULATION MARINE OPERATIONS MULTIMODAL SYSTEMS RUTGERS/CAITS FREIGHT TRAFFIC ANALYSIS INTERMODAL SYSTEMS The GMU Consortium Team GMU CRS&SI TECH APPLICATIONS INFRASTRUCTURE SYSTEMS FREIGHT ANALYSIS THE I-95 COALITION VIRGINIA DOT VIRGINIA PORT AUTHORITY NEWYORK/NEWJERSEY PORT AUTHORITY GEOEYE WORLD LEADERS IN IMAGERIES CRS&SI DATA SYTEMS DLR - GERMAN TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH CENTER SHORT SEA SHIPPING CRS & SI APPLICATIONS

4 Marine Highway System for Alternate Transportation Traffic Projections predict landslide congestion Adding highway capacity is not sufficient for stemming congestion DOT and Congress are seeking viable alternatives to highways SCRAM will: Select one inland and one marine route that will serve to reduce traffic bottlenecks in and around I-95 and explore options for moving fright traffic to marine highways Metrics will include: Costs, energy consumption, time, congestion, efficiency, air quality improvements Warehouse (origin) Sea or Road Warehouse (destination)

5 Requirements Definitions Our Tasking: Build a scalable, discreteevent based simulation Estimate reduction of surface route congestion Perform cost comparison of marine and surface routes Compare end-to-end transportation time using marine and surface routes Estimate any environmental benefits Considerations: Deep water channels Terminal capacity Nearby road and rail feed lines Large capacity marine terminals Competitive advantage over roadways Costs Time

6 Preliminary Approach Design a discrete event simulation using Arena to simulate the road and sea networks Potentially also use MPL to optimize the network Track costs, resource usage, time, and tonnage moved Goal is to gain specific and general insights to the benefits of a marine highway system Road Network Origin Sea or Road Load Ship At Sea Unload Ship Destination

7 Expected Results Quantitative benefits and/or shortfalls of the two studied routes, including: Congestion reduction Fuel savings Freight movement efficiency Qualitative generalizations of key characteristics of marine highways, What does and does not matter? Discrete event simulation that can be adapted for further study of Marine Highway alternatives Policy recommendations

8 Project Plan - Three Phase Approach Data Collection (bounding analysis) Cost, efficiency, demand Compose list marine highway alternatives for study Simulation & Analysis Inland Waterway Routing from the Port of Virginia terminals through James River to Parham Landing Coastal Waterway Sea route from the Ports of Virginia Last Mile Analysis Port access ways in selected ports Assessment/Report Preparation

12 Guidance Again, the goal of your project is to investigate the feasibility of marine highway. Hopefully, we can reduce I-95 congestion. The SEOR faculty will expect you to apply OR methodologies to a real problem like this. My role is more like a technical advisor. I will give you advice if you encounter "big" technical difficulty. More importantly, Dr. Thirumalai is your primary contact of the client. You should meet with him routinely and frequently, at least monthly, to give him an update and ensure that you are handling a "real" and right problem. (OR students tend to over simplify problems). Dr. Chen, 8 Feb 10 The team will be able to get lot of background information by visiting DOT/MARAD website and look under the Marine Highway program. There are marine highway corridors being proposed to Congress by both US DOT and the I-95 Corridor coalition. One important involvement for the team will be to select one inland and on sea way routing that will serve to reduce traffic bottlenecks in and around I-95 and explore options for moving fright traffic to marine highways. As we discussed discrete element analysis tools would be very handy to assess the advantages. Dr. Thirumalai, 6 Feb 10
