This chart does
compare baseline days with days during the test period. The overall improvement between the two
periods was 3.73%. These results are
preliminary in that the assessment team has not discussed the details with
the stakeholders nor determined in any definitive way why the average trip
time decreased. It may be that drivers
were more careful during the test period, but it should be noted that during
the June-November 2014 period the optimization algorithm was not in use and
there were various problems with the communications between the dispatchers
and drivers and between the dray company and the terminal. Thus, FRATIS use is not the primary cause
of the lower trip time.

The assessment
team’s effort going forward will be more detailed analysis of WHY the trip
time changed. If the team finds that
the 3.73% reduction holds and is attributable to FRATIS, then the team will
determine the economic value of that benefit to report with the final
results.
