Inland Marine Transportation System (MTS) Travel Time Atlas

Developer/Partners: USACE (2019)

Relevant Hazard/Threat(s): N/A

Intent: Produces travel time statistical profiles by analyzing vessel movement data obtained through the Automatic Identification System (AIS).

Written description of travel time estimation methodology and applications to three case studies.

Inputs: AIS from Automatic Identification System Analysis Package or direct request to Coast Guard, river reach distances
Outputs: link travel time performance measures and total travel time above baseline time

Sometimes inland AIS coverage is not complete; method does not include effect of vessel characteristics or environmental forces on travel time; need to acquire data via USCG or USACE
