Michigan Technological University has received $1.2 million from the U.S. Department
of Energy (DOE) to develop a practical tool that will help shipping, rail and trucking
companies develop cohesive logistics for both predictive planning and real-time decisions
that save time, energy and money.
Led by Kuilin Zhang, an associate professor in the Department of Civil, Environmental,
and Geospatial Engineering, the Michigan Tech project is titled “A Decarbonized and
Resilient Intermodal Freight Transportation (DRIFT) Modeling Platform for Intermodal
Logistical Decisions Under Uncertainty.”
