6. In Search Of Lost Time by bogenfreund on Flickr
The biggest problem in
transportation is time.
There is not enough of it.
Ever.

7. Time horizons
Strategic
Tactical
Operational
Prediction
Real-time!
Technologically, we
are approaching this
boundary
…and we are
starting to
move past it!

8. Information used
Strategic
Tactical
But many of our
decisions are based
on old or incomplete
information
Operational
Real-time
information is
not used
Prediction
Potential
benefits are
not realized
