Researchers estimated there are about 0.17 billion air cargo shipments each year in the United States that could benefit from Electronic Supply Chain Manifest (ESCM). With potential cost saving benefits ranging from $11.77 to $16.20 per air-freight shipment, ESCM could save the freight industry more than $2 billion per year.(14 December 2005)

Based on all police-reported crashes in 7 states over 2 years, electronic stability control (ESC) reduced single-vehicle crash involvement risk by approximately 41 percent and single-vehicle injury crash involvement risk by 41 percent.(8 October 2004)

The Illinois DOT indicated that an automated traffic control system deployed during the reconstruction of I-55 improved mobility by preventing severe congestion in the work zone. (October 2004)

The Illinois DOT enhanced work zone safety on I-55 by deploying an automated traffic control system that posted traffic information and enforcement updates (number of citations issued) on dynamic message signs located upstream of the work zone.(October 2004)

Electronic supply chain manifest systems, reduce the amount of time and paperwork required to transfer load and can improve operational efficiencies for shippers/receivers, trucking companies, and air cargo carriers.(December 2002)

In Chicago, A CTA survey of smartcard users found that features related to convenience, rail use, and speed were most liked by program participants; 21 percent rated convenience over the magnetic stripe card as their single favorite feature of the system. The most desired features were the multi-use functions and ability to recharge the smartcard via the Internet and credit card.(13-17 January 2002.)
