Freight Mobility
Freight Mobility plays a critical role for highway authorities, federal organizations & logistics companies. Increased urbanization, population growth, and economic development have led to an increased demand for freight travel. S+M.ai team provides a comprehensive plan for federal agencies that identifies freight transportation facilities critical to the economic growth & guides multimodal freight investments in the state. We also provide freight-focused solutions for logistic companies that offer location tracking, route optimization & safety improvements. We offer updates that will drive innovation in your system to provide a safe, efficient, and resilient transportation system that increases profit and while preserving the quality of our environment.
25%
Freight trucks account for almost 25% of the total GHG emissions from the U.S. transportation sector
20%
Battery electric trucks could provide savings of up to 20% in life cycle cost of trucking given current electricity infrastructure
35%
Electric trucks could lower the social cost of harmful emissions up to 35%
Key Areas of Our Freight Mobility Services
Electric
Trucks
Fuel expenditures represent a large share of the life cycle costs of freight mobility. Furthermore, air pollution caused by truck tailpipes incurs health-related externality costs to communities, as well as environment. Truck electrification presents a window of opportunities for your organization to help minimize your organization’s carbon footprint, improve your social impacts, and reduce overall transportation costs.
Socio-Economic & Environmental Analysis of Connected Automated Trucks
At S+M.ai, we offer decision-making tools to make well-informed business decisions using sustainability indicators by identifying various possible alternatives considering factors such as the cost, benefits, and the chance of success or failure.
Traffic Network Analysis of Connected Automated Trucks
Transportation infrastructure is quickly moving towards revolutionary changes to accommodate the deployment of Connected Automated Trucks (CATs). CATs are believed to have great potential to improve the traffic capacity and efficiency of the current transport systems. It is, therefore, of paramount importance to consider the traffic level of service, crash and safety, fuel economy, environmental impacts, and route choice with a mixture of vehicles.
Supply Chain Management
At S+M.ai, we streamline the flow of goods and services to any unexpected natural disaster. With effective supply chain management by our experts, we could diagnose problems for seamless movement of goods, actively streamlining a business's supply-side activities to maximize customer value and gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
Truck
Transportation
The goal of truck transportation is to move goods on land safely & efficiently for service provider & public agencies. However, these two stakeholders of truck transportation have different agendas for operation & planning. S+M.ai offers a collective effort to consider both of these stakeholders’ agenda.
