Container/Chassis Identification Reporting System (CCIRS) Interface and Feasibility Assessment.

Abstract

This study was undertaken to determine the feasibility of integrating the Container/Chassis Identification Reporting System (CCIRS) with existing and projected cargo movement-management subsystems of the Terminal Operation and Movement-Management Systems (TOMMS) and to assess the operational feasibility of the CCIRS. Specific subsystems considered were: Department of Army Standard Port System (DASPS), Visibility of Intransit Cargo (VIC) and Highway Fleet Management System (HFM). The major finding of the study was that source-data automation equipment, such as the CCIRS, is cost effective in a peacetime environment and is a viable concept for providing real-time, error-free data. The benefit of the surge capability inherent to CCIRS in a wartime transition situation was recognized during the course of this study, but the contribution to the outcome of a military conflict was not quantified. Additional findings and conclusions are presented. (Author)
