Timely and reliable traveler information is essential for efficient and safe commercial vehicle operations, which play a significant role in the Mississippi Valley Region. Despite the variety of information available, the inconvenient decentralized structure of the region's information infrastructure remains a barrier. A centralized, one-stop shop for information would allow freight travelers to make more accurate and up-to-the-minute adjustments in their routes and schedules, thereby bolstering efficiency and lowering freight movement costs across the region. The primary audience for the concept are motor carriers.
