In metropolitan areas across the country, the cost of road congestion
has reached staggering proportions.
From coast to coast, urban communities are struggling with endless gridlock,
soaring parking expenses, lost productivity
and other conditions caused by an automobile-dominated transportation system.
Meanwhile, the cost of congestion continues to rise.
Statistics
reported in the 2003 Urban Mobility Study tell the story:
5.7 billion gallons
of wasted fuel and 3.5 billion hours of lost productivity resulting from traffic
congestion in 2001 cost the nation $69.5 billion — an increase of $4.5
billion over the previous year.
Intractable as these problems seem, there are solutions. Smarter, more efficient
management of transportation resources can make all the difference. |
Twenty to thirty years ago, the tools to price transportation resources
appropriately either were prohibitively expensive or simply did not exist.
With the advent of inexpensive computing, wireless communication, and cost-effective
tracking and identification tools such as RFID and GPS, it is now feasible to
manage transportation resources economically and efficiently.
Mobility Management has harnessed this breakthrough technology to provide clients
with innovative solutions to their most complex transportation issues. |
