这笔赠款为2002年4月26日至28日在加利福尼亚州玛丽娜德雷举行的为期3天的实时物流研讨会提供部分支持，有40-50名与会者参加。这一想法是为了应对最近出现的实用和经济的全球定位系统和关于提货和送货卡车运输状况的其他实时信息来源所带来的机会和研究挑战。实时通信使大量新的信息和控制成为现实，正在给物流业带来革命性的变化。将提供几个研究报告，以及讨论研究优先事项的分组会议。研讨会将由南加州大学和亚利桑那大学联合主办，并由交通部来源部门以及NSF和大学提供资金。

The grant provides partial support for a 3-day workshop on real-time logistics with 40-50 participants meeting in Marina Del Rey, California, April 26-28, 2002. The idea is to address the opportunities and research challenges posed by the recent emergence of practical and economic GPS and other real time information sources about the status of pick-up and delivery trucking. Real-time communication is revolutionizing the logistics world by making practical a host of new information and control possibilities. Several research presentations will be provided, along with breakout sessions to discuss research priorities. The workshop would be jointly hosted by the University of Southern California and the University of Arizona, and funded by Department of Transportation sources in addition to the NSF and the universities.
