FMP In Depth
FMP uses the New York/New Jersey metro area as living test bed for examining the operational and financial aspects of world shipping.
FMP is located in central New Jersey, a region with vast transportation infrastructure, serving the most concentrated and affluent consumer market in the world. The New Jersey/New York port complex, which includes the Port of Elizabeth, is globally acknowledged as a world-class shipping activity center, offering an unparalleled proving ground for FMP’s research. FMP also engages in cooperative projects with the School of Business-Camden and CAIT’s Laboratory for Port Security (LPS), both which have strong ties to the Port of Philadelphia.
FMP activities extend throughout a wide range of intermodal freight and maritime-related areas, including:
- Freight logistics and maritime transportation
- Port planning, operations, and management
- Rail infrastructure planning and operations
- Intermodal terminals and distribution facilities planning, operations, and management
- Large-scale simulation modeling in freight, maritime, and port operations
- Dynamic traffic assignment-based microsimulation of drayage operations
- Freight, shipping, and port logistics systems
- Information and communications technology in freight, port, and shipping systems
- Urban freight transportation
- Port-related congestion
- Port environmental management systems
- New technologies in supply chain management
- Safety and security in freight and maritime transportation and ports
FMP’s goal is to help the freight industry solve existing problems while building scientific groundwork for the future through research and practical experience.
FMP is devoted to freight and maritime infrastructure, operations, and human resources. We have considerable academic and industry-related experience. The program is part of an international network of research institutions working with cultures and operating practices worldwide, a collaboration that ensures a global perspective in our work.
