The National Academy of Sciences was established in 1863 by an Act of Congress, signed by President Lincoln, as a private, non- governmental institution to advise the nation on issues related to science and technology. Members are elected by their peers for outstanding contributions to research. Dr. Marcia McNutt is president. The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964 under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences to bring the practices of engineering to advising the nation. Members are elected by their peers for extraordinary contributions to engineering. Dr. C. D. Mote, Jr., is president. The National Academy of Medicine (formerly the Institute of Medicine) was established in 1970 under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences to advise the nation on medical and health issues. Members are elected by their peers for distinguished contributions to medicine and health. Dr. Victor J. Dzau is president. The three Academies work together as the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to provide independent, objective analysis and advice to the nation and conduct other activities to solve complex problems and inform public policy decisions. The National Academies also encourage education and research, recognize outstanding contributions to knowledge, and increase public understanding in matters of science, engineering, and medicine. Learn more about the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine at www.national-academies.org. The Transportation Research Board is one of seven major programs of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. The mission of the Transportation Research Board is to increase the benefits that transportation contributes to society by providing leadership in transportation innovation and progress through research and information exchange, conducted within a setting that is objective, interdisciplinary, and multimodal. The Boardâs varied committees, task forces, and panels annually engage about 7,000 engineers, scientists, and other transportation researchers and practitioners from the public and private sectors and academia, all of whom contribute their expertise in the public interest. The program is supported by state transportation departments, federal agencies including the component administrations of the U.S. Department of Transportation, and other organizations and individuals interested in the development of transportation.

Consensus Study Reports published by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine document the evidence-based consensus on the studyâs statement of task by an authoring committee of experts. Reports typically include findings, conclusions, and recommendations based on information gathered by the committee and the committeeâs deliberations. Each report has been subjected to a rigorous and independent peer-review process and it represents the position of the National Academies on the statement of task. Proceedings published by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine chronicle the presentations and discussions at a workshop, symposium, or other event convened by the National Academies.

vi Preface he Transportation Research Board (TRB) hosted the conference Transforming the Marine Transportation System through Multimodal Freight Analytics at the National Academy of Sciences Building in Washington, D.C., June 19 to 21, 2018. This meeting was the fifth in a series of Biennial Marine Transportation System Research and Development conferences organized by the TRB and cosponsored by the Committee on the Marine Transportation System (CMTS). The CMTS serves as a federal interagency coordinating committee that assesses the adequacy of the MTS, promotes the integration of the MTS with other modes of transportation and other uses of the marine environment, and coordinates, improves the coordination of, and makes recommendations regarding federal policies that impact the MTS. The planning committee for this conference was chaired by Sandra Knight of WaterWonks LLC. Committee members provided expertise in marine transportation systems, multimodal freight transportation, and data modeling and analytics. The planning committee was responsible solely for organizing the conference, identifying speakers, reviewing submitted abstracts, and developing topics for the plenary and breakout groups. Kathleen Hancock of Virginia Polytechnical Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) served as the conference rapporteur and prepared this document as a factual summary of what occurred at the conference. Responsibility for the published conference proceedings rests with the rapporteur. Researchers, practitioners, and academicians gathered to explore innovative science and technology concepts for optimizing system performance through better freight flow forecasting. The conference attracted approximately 107 participants, reflecting organizational diversity as follows: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 7% U.S. Department of Transportation 9% U.S. Coast Guard 6% Federal other 7% State departments of transportation 7% State other, regional, port 4% Association/nonprofit 1% University 33% Industry/commercial/consultant 21% International 6% This event provided an opportunity to share ideas and needs about multimodal freight T
vii analytics and to explore opportunities to harness robust, integrated, high-fidelity multimodal freight transportation data and analytics, offering an interactive format to engage in productive dialogue. The conference brought together those who generate new concepts and address transportation problems and opportunities and those who own and manage transportation systems. The conference, which was characterized by broad and active participation and discussion, considered potential research to address issues associated with transforming MTS. In addition to keynote speakers, the conference included plenary sessions focused on framing the issues related to multimodal freight operations, planning, and policy; presenting the challenges associated with the corresponding analytics; and making a case for its value to tactical and strategic planning. Participants had the opportunity to hear about and discuss issues and areas related to data analytics and decisions support in three concurrent breakout sessions and to interact with individuals providing active demonstrations. Speakers in the closing plenary session highlighted the topics and research ideas discussed during the conference. These proceedings consist of summaries of the introductory, plenary, breakout, and closing sessions as well as overviews of the keynote presentations. Abstracts from the student honor presentations and the active demonstrations are also provided. The conference PowerPoint presentations used by speakers can be accessed online through the links embedded in the final program at http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/conferences/2018/CMTS/Program.pdf.

Hancock, as a factual summary of what occurred at the conference. The planning committeeâs role was limited to planning and convening the conference. The views contained in the report are those of individual conference participants and do not necessarily represent the views of all participants, the planning committee, TRB, or NRC. This summary was reviewed in draft form by individuals chosen for their diverse perspectives and technical expertise, in accordance with procedures approved by the NRCâs Report Review Committee. The purpose of this independent review is to provide candid and critical comments that will assist the institution in making the published summary as sound as possible and to ensure that the summary meets institutional standards for objectivity, evidence, and responsiveness to the project charge. The review comments and draft manuscript remain confidential to protect the integrity of the deliberative process. TRB thanks the following individuals for their review of the summary: Alison Conway, City College of New York, New York City; Mihalis Golias, University of Memphis, TN; Jim Kruse, Texas A&M Transportation Institute, College Station; and Heather Monteiro, Hickory Ridge Group, LLC, Las Vegas, NV. Although these reviewers provided many constructive comments and suggestions, they did not see the final draft of this summary before its release. The review of this summary was overseen by Susan Hanson, TRB Division Chair and Clark University (emerita), Worcester, MA. Appointed by the National Research Council, she was responsible for ensuring that an
viii independent examination of this summary was conducted in accordance with established procedures and that all review comments were carefully considered. Responsibility for the final content of this summary rests entirely with the authors and the institution. The conference planning committee thanks Kathleen Hancock for her work in preparing this conference proceedings.
