Enabling secure and competitive air cargo systems

这项研究将为提高澳大利亚的安全水平作出宝贵贡献。能够快速建模、分析和持续决策支持的方法和工具将使澳大利亚航空货运业能够有效地实施新兴的筛查技术，同时保持竞争力。 提高航空货运设施和配送中心的效率将有助于保持和提高生产力，缩短上市时间，尽管安全检查增加和燃料价格上涨使物流网络的间接费用增加。 这项研究将具有国际应用价值，并为澳大利亚创造有价值的高技术出口。

This research will make a valuable contribution towards raising security levels in Australia. Methodologies and tools that enable rapid modelling, analysis and ongoing decision making support will enable the Australian air cargo industry to efficiently implement emerging screening technologies, whilst remaining competitive. Improved efficiency in air cargo facilities and distribution hubs will help maintain and improve productivity and reduce time to market, despite increased security screening and rising fuel prices placing greater cost overheads on logistics networks. This research will have international application and create valuable high technology export for Australia.
