Duration: 621 s
Description: The episode discusses a proof of concept paper from the University of Arkansas detailing how to predict barge tow size using only vessel trajectory data. Researchers used AIS data and derived features to achieve an average prediction error of less than two barges. The technology promises smoother supply chains by providing real-time visibility into inland waterway traffic.
