Collaboration in Regional Civilian and Military Transportation Planning
Abstract
The Strategic Mobility 21 (SM 21) Program is investigating new concepts for improving the utilization of the strategic ports in Southern California for military and civilian purposes. Among project goals are justifying the building of new regional transportation infrastructure to double the present throughput of container shipments through the ports as well as to efficiently support the surge deployment and sustainment of US military combat assets through the ports. This paper describes how the SM 21 program is using web-based collaboration technologies including wikis, blogs, and Modeling, Simulation and Analysis tools to address two key program areas: a regional planning interface that makes data, models, and analyses available to all stakeholders in an interactive and configurable manner and a specific interface that enables collaboration between military land transportation planners and military ship load planners. A goal of both efforts is to make significant improvements in both how information is shared and how the consequences of different courses of action are explored.
