چکیده
An economically eficient and eflective transportation system is one of the essential components for the economic and sociai weil-being of agribu~”ness~rms that provi& agricultural andfoodproducls to consumers and end-users in the state. One possible methdfor improving that system is the use of tnteliigent Transportation Systems (ITSS). ITSS are systems that encompass several technologies, including information processing, communications, control and electronics. Z+ey provide the link between vehicles and infrastructure. In the transportation industry, Global Positioning Systems (GPSS) is a means of tracking and manag”ng mobi[e assets. With the current level of technology, workz’wiak tracking impossible. GPSS encompass a number of technolop”es, including information processing, communications control, and electronics used to link vehicles and infrastructure for improving the efficiency and safep of transportation (Navigation Technolo~”es, 1998). Policymakers and investors need information to exzzmine the usefulness, cost, and applicability of ITS technology to the agricultural and food transportation industries. Such information will be valuable to firms contemplating investment in these systems. In aah?ition, the availability of this information should enhance the competitiveness of the Mississippi agribusiness firms. Xhe spec~jic objectives of thisproject are:
