NCTIP Research Project Container Port Operations The project increases service quality and productivity of the straddle operation for a major port terminal which handles 50%of all containers in the Port of New York and New Jersey. It is expected that as a direct impact of the research being carried out for Maher Terminals, Inc., the competitiveness of the Port of Newark/Elizabeth with respect to other ports on the eastern U.S. seaboard and Canada will be improved.

  34. NCTIP Research Project Transportation Economic and Land Use System (TELUS™) The TELUS™ project methodology provides detailed and easily accessible information on transportation capital projects, their interrelationships, and their economic impacts in a region. Originally developed for northeastern New Jersey, TELUS is adaptable to any region in the U.S. Basic economic and demographic information must be input. An intensive effort to make TELUS available nationwide has begun.

  35. NCTIP Research Project Multimodal Freight Operations Information on freight movements is critical for comprehensive transportation planning. Commodityflow data and related analytical and modeling tools are needed to assess impacts of capital program improvements. The NJDOT freight database and related truck and rail traffic assignmentmodel is available to plannersthroughout the metropolitan area. The model identifies freight corridors and evaluates the impact of flows on transportation network performance.
