Ports & Freight
The need to efficiently transfer goods in ever-more-crowded ports and harbors has prompted a need to design computer models that can simulate risks, optimize maritime operations, and perform economic analysis of myriad components in the supply chain. A “break in the chain” would impact the daily lives of millions.
With an emphasis on controlled and uncontrolled events that can potentially interrupt the steady flow of goods, CAIT researchers can model the economic and regional impact of these events to improve operations and plan how to prevent, respond, and recover from potential disruptions.
Whether it is averting potential disaster, optimizing port operations, dredging to keep our waterways clear, or managing harbor traffic, CAIT experts generate reliable, real-life data that can keep the goods that drive our economy on the move.
